Please excuse my ignorance. What do these numbers mean in "Shiboyugi: Playing death games to put food on the table?"

Date/time doesn’t make sense, and right now after 8/23 it went to 10/23. Just generally lost here.

Its chapter numbers in the light novel. It just counts up, not too complex.

SleepyAltBee2026-01-14 07:41

Damn it was so simple. Is there a reason they skip a chapter number or is that just a thing?

JMB_Smash2026-01-14 07:48

They either skipped a chapter or adapted it quite quick as a montage is my guess.

BlueRain872026-01-14 07:40

They're the chapters from the novel

Veritas33332026-01-14 07:40

Someone commented in the episode discussion that it's just the chapter numbers from the light novel. Episode 1 covered the first 23 chapters.

I totally thought it was hours or something when I was watching it

SleepyAltBee2026-01-14 07:52

At least I’m not alone in there lol could have been 23 hours and the number was each hour. But the quickness between a few didn’t make sense.

It's the scene number.
