Did it and it's my favorite book of all time. I think I reread it about 5 or so times in total, and any more times certain chapters.
I pretty much know everything that happens and at what point by memory.
My favorite scene must the when Severian kills Agilus and Wolve describes it by Several blotting out the sun with his sword It left a big impression on me when I first read it many years ago. Also the only book I own multiple copies of (In multiple languages)

I'm loosely inspired by both Wolfe's New Sun and Brandon Sanderson's magic systems, which means there will be consistency in the world. The science will be as hard as any reader would expect. I'm not writing a PhD thesis but I'm not writing cool explosions and edgy moody characters for the sake of being flashy either, and I try to be as realistic and consistent (within the world, which is carefully built) as possible. I've been working on this for over 3 years and did on and off world building for even longer than that.
The plot is as thick as it must be. Of course resuming everything a 300k word book(s) in a post will make everything look shallow, but then again that's what happens when you do it on any book, classic, good or bad.
It'll likely take another 3 years to complete it all and edit everything by myself first and foremost. It's not like I'm rushing, but I do put a lot of work and thought into this project of mine. Right now I have 30-35k words of hard genuine text, and maybe a couple hundred thousand of drafts and unedited chapters scattered all around my working laptop which I take everywhere. It's tedious work but I'm getting there anon. I'm blessed to have an easy job in which I work on my book 6 hours out of 8, then another few hours at home. There's weeks that I don't do any progress, and days when I write some 2k words in a go without blinking.
