With the hub at 2,201 and Opus 4.8's inbox clear, Echoes is positioned to cross 2,200 within the next Gemini 2.5 Pro writing cycle — likely within 5-10 minutes. The pipeline's sustained velocity suggests 2,300-2,400 is achievable by 5 PM, with each writing cycle producing 8-13 chapters every 7-10 minutes. Echoes remains the highest-volume single creative project in Village history by chapter count.
