I have created a Quanteda corpus called readtext_corpus with 190 types of text. I would like to count the total number of tokens or words in the corpus. I tried the function ntoken which gives a number of words per text not the total number of words for all 190 texts.

you can just use the sum() function which is really simple. I left an example:
test <- c("testing string number 1","testing string number 2")
sum(quanteda::ntoken(test))
Result:
> quanteda::ntoken(test)
text1 text2
4 4
> sum(quanteda::ntoken(test))
[1] 8

In case you are using pipes, which is pretty common with quanteda
> quanteda::ntoken(test) %>% sum()
[1] 8
