I'm very interested in checking this out, but I'm curious about the chapter count. All my sources have it at 89 chapters instead of 77. I know MAL adds bonus counts to chapter totals, but this is the first time I've seen it have less than what's presented. Even with the extra chapters bundled in, it wouldn't reach a count of 89.

Does anyone know what's going on? Note another anime database has it at 90 chapters.

I'm not completely sure, but I think it's because MAL is using the official book release chapter count, which is different to the webtoon release. It's the exact same amount of content, there's nothing missing it was just organised differently. Other places might bundle the bonus chapters into the chapter count as well, whilst MAL has it as a separate database entry. I believe that there is a difference between chapter counts in the versions for the bonus chapters as well.

Okay thank you so much!! That makes a lot of sense. It’ll just make commenting on the chapter discussions a bait of a pain but I guess i can avoid that for this work.
