Comparison of VN lengths:
Words:
Tsukihime - 601.512 words
Umineko - 575.274 words
May Sky - 58.420 words*
Narcissu - 44.025 words
Red Shift - 28.700 words*
Jouka no Monshou - 14.155 words
A Midsummer Day's Resonance - 13.658 words
The Letter - 11.032 words
From the Bottom of the Heart - 1.528 words

Lines:
Tsukihime - 65.127 lines
Umineko - 37.105 lines
Narcissu - 5.903 lines
May Sky - 4.803 lines*
Red Shift - 4.356 lines*
A Midsummer Day's Resonance - 1.537 lines
Moonshine - 1.135 lines
The Letter - 1.081 lines
Jouka no Monshou - 801 lines
From the Bottom of the Heart - 120 lines

If we assume the average novel has 75.000 words, the VNs are as long as this many novels:
Tsukihime - 8,02 novels
Umineko - 7,67 novels
May Sky - 0,78 novels*
Narcissu - 0,59 novels
Red Shift - 0,38 novels*
Jouka no Monshou - 0,19 novels
A Midsummer Day's Resonance - 0,18 novels
The Letter - 0,15 novels
From the Bottom of the Heart - 0,02 novels

(Please note that repeated lines are also counted if they are in the script multiple times, and system messages display as normal text are counted as well.)
*Name labels are written manually in this VN, so these also count towards the amount of lines and amount of words.

I was able to do this because ONScripter allows you to easily extract the entire script and filter all lines from it (English lines have to start with a `). I'm afraid I can't do the same for Ever17, Clannad or f/sn.

If it's counting the English release, recall that both voiced and unvoiced versions were translated by two different people, so it may be counting the whole thing twice.

It was like 4 or 5 hours, which fits pretty well for being a tenth of Tsukihime's length.

In the English release, the Japanese text is also in the script. So there are really four stories: Voiced (English), unvoiced (English), voiced (Japanese), and unvoiced (Japanese).

The strongest visual novel...
...isn't as strong as expected.
Although it has an amazing 102.508 lines, it has 618.575 words, only slightly more than Tsukihime. This would make 8,25 novels.

Is Tsukihime longer, shorter, or about the same as FSN? A guesstimate will do.

Bullshit, it's way longer than Tsukihime.

Because it's an ADV game, mostly composed of dialogues.
Tsukihime is mostly composed of narration, so it read much faster.

In play time, yes, but the way the text is set up, you read through it slower. We had this discussion before.

In that case I have to call shenanigans. FSN's totality (all routes combined) was at most equal to a short book. The giant font and the pictures and the pauses padded it out.

Like I said, there has to be something wrong with the method of counting. FSN is simply not anywhere near the equivalent of five and a half thousand pages of prose. Foucault's Pendulum was "only" five hundred pages and it had at least double the text of all FSN routes put together.

Fun fact: decimal points denote sub-integer units. The OP states that From the Bottom of the Heart has you read just barely more than one and a half words before finishing, although that is clearly not what is meant.

No, I don't care if there are places that use a different system for some reason. Get with the times.

I was unable to extract the f/sn script myself, but phiber was nice enough to make a count:
[01:46] <@phiber> I'm done
[01:46] <@phiber> lines 78437
[01:46] <@phiber> words 865810
[01:46] <@phiber> characters (with spaces) 4486602
[01:47] <@phiber> characters (no spaces) 3660487
[01:47] <@phiber> bytes 4486602 (duh)
[01:49] <@phiber> there you have VDZ
[01:52] <VDZ> Thank you.
That would make f/sn's length equivalent to 11.54 novels...and this proves that f/sn is indeed much longer than Tsukihime.
