have you rendered locally and written with the page open and set it to draft before publishing?
according to my experience(not for sure)...actually, the read-time only counts in that situation and in most cases it is not correct 🥲🙏

Yes, I compile locally and then publish only /public folder to server.
I am not sure about the reason, here are some guessing (If available, I might review the code of concerning parts):
- Difference between English words and Chinese Characters.
- Ignorant of some parts like code block, quote, etc.
- Ignorant of thinking and reviewing time (Most blogs are focusing on introduction and tutor of some techniques. I think these time should be taken into consideration.)
- I've just seen that Stack Theme using
readingTimeparameter from Hugo instead of using a new script, it is also possible that the problem belongs to Hugo.
By the way, from my viewpoint, predicted read time is of importance for that people could assign and plan their time properly. Accurate read time prediction could boost the efficiency significantly.

Yes, this theme uses Hugo's readingTime directly. You'll have to report this issue to them instead.
You can set the hasCJKLanguage in config,yaml for [zh-cn ja ko] languages
hasCJKLanguage: true
Then the read time should be right.
