In fact 100 chapters in and ~

I have extracted the following text from a comic forum.

It still has a great amount of martial arts and the romance so far as been really just a lot of teasing but if you're like me and you have reread the entire series up to the latest chapter, you'd know this series still has a lot of story to tell. In fact 100 chapters in and it seems as if we've barely even reached the middle of it.

1) I'd like to know whether "there has" is omitted after "so far as."
2) I was wondering how I can interpret the phrase "In fact 100 chapters in."

Thank you in advance for your help.

" No. It's just a typographical error (missing the "h") It still has a great amount of martial arts and the romance so far has been really just a lot of teasing... " They've read 100 chapters, and then apparently realize that the whole series consists of at least 200 chapters.

Thank you AlpheccaStars for your answer.

1. It still has a great amount of martial arts and the romance so far has been really just a lot of teasing.
I don't think "it" can become a subject of "has been."
So how about this? : "It still has a great amount of martial arts and the romance so far there has been really just a lot of teasing."

It's not. The subject is "romance."
and (conjunction) the romance has been...
"so far" is adverbial.

You can't add another subject, there, because there is a subject already.
Without "so far", you can add there as an emphatic modifier of "roman
