I meant to save a chapter as a draft and ended up publishing nothing but placeholder text. The story's stats seem to be borked because the now deleted chapter. Is there a fix?

Which of your story are you referring to? Also, what is broken about the stats?

Have you tried going into one of the old chapters, and simply updating it without making any changes?

I suspect every time you press 'publish' and(?) 'update', it computes the total words and divides by number of chapters. Doing it that way might recalculate it for you, if it works when you press update as well.

I tried it and you're 100% right! Thank you!
