The correct order is numerically, but I'd argue for a slightly modified experience. Read Volumes 1-5, then watch the 'No Game No Life Zero' movie. After that, pick up with Volume 7 and continue to 11. The movie condenses Volume 6 so well that you might not need to read it, though the novel has more internal monologue and detail. This approach gives you the full prequel story in a cinematic format before diving back into the present-day plot. It's a nice pacing break.
Then, if you crave more, the 'Please!' novels are there for lighter, character-focused stories.

I disagree with anyone pushing chronological order for a first read. The beauty of 'No Game No Life' is in the unfolding. You're thrown into this vibrant, insane world alongside Sora and Shiro, and part of the joy is figuring out their past alongside understanding the rules of Disboard. Reading the prequels first turns poignant reveals into simple exposition. It's the difference between being told a character is sad and experiencing the event that made them sad. The author, Kamiya, structured it this way for maximum emotional and narrative payoff. Please, for your own enjoyment, respect that structure.

I'm a simple reader. I see a long series, I start at chapter one. If I finish it and want more, I google '[Series Name] extra stories'. This method has never failed me. Getting bogged down in optimization before you've even started sucks the joy out of reading. Just begin.

The official translation on Ridibooks or another Korean portal will have the chapters in the definitive order. If you're reading unofficial translations, the team's 'current project' page often lists what they consider the core story. They usually translate the main plot first, then circle back to extras. So, their main project list is a de facto reading order. Follow their numbering. They've already done the curation work by deciding what to prioritize. This is especially helpful when dealing with a story that has hundreds of small updates and extras.

I tried reading some fan translations a while back and got completely lost—chapters were out of sequence, some parts were missing.
It was a mess.
The official serialization on Naver Webtoon or the Tapas adaptation is the only way to guarantee the right order.
Webtoons are meant to be read in the specific order the author publishes them, since flashbacks and reveals are timed precisely.
Skipping around or reading a poorly organized aggregate site ruins the narrative flow.
My advice is to stick to one official platform from start to finish and just follow the 'next episode' buttons.

If you're diving into the 'No Game No Life' light novels, the release order is a wild ride of strategic genius and vibrant worldbuilding. The main series started with Volume 1 in 2012, followed by Volume 2 later that same year. Volume 3 dropped in 2013, and the series kept a steady pace with Volumes 4 and 5 releasing in 2014. Volume 6 came out in 2015, and after a bit of a wait, Volume 7 arrived in 2016. The latest main installment, Volume 10, was released in 2018, and fans are still eagerly awaiting Volume 11.
There's also a prequel series, 'No Game No Life: Practical War Game,' which includes Volumes 1 and 2, released in 2017 and 2021 respectively. These delve deeper into the Disboard's history and the Warbeasts' backstory. The release gaps can feel agonizing, but the quality of each volume makes it worth the wait. I still reread my favorite arcs whenever I need a hit of that Blank-level scheming!

Me, I'm just waiting for more volumes to drop before I dive in. Hate catching up and then hitting a cliffhanger. From what I've glimpsed in forums, everyone just says to read from the start, no fancy order.
