How Many Chapters Does The Beginning After The End Light Novel Have?

Counting chapters on this one is a headache. The official light novel is split into 10 volumes on platforms like Amazon. I gave up counting individual chapters across all volumes; I just track by volume number. The story's done, so if you see Volume 10, that's the final one. The comic adaptation has its own, much longer chapter count, but for the prose version, it's a 10-volume series. Much simpler to navigate that way.

Man, I've been trying to sort this out myself for weeks because it's a bit of a moving target. The core issue is that 'The Beginning After the End' exists as a webcomic on Tapas and as the light novel. People often mix up the counts. The light novel, which is the source material, is the one written by TurtleMe. It's been published on Amazon Kindle and other platforms like Tapas as well. From what I've pieced together from my own library and updates in the fandom, the light novel is complete. It has 10 volumes. The last volume, Volume 10, was published in late 2022. So, if you're asking about total chapters, it's not a single continuous serialized number like a web novel; it's divided into those 10 volumes, with each containing a chunk of chapters.

Each volume has roughly 25 to 35-ish chapters? It's not uniform. I own the first few on Kindle, and Volume 1 has 27 chapters plus prologue and epilogue. So if you do a rough estimate, you're looking at somewhere around 270 to 300 total chapters across the entire published light novel series. But honestly, I'd recommend forgetting the total count and just looking for 'Volume 10' as the endpoint. That's the cleanest way to know you've got the whole story. The webcomic adaptation is a whole different beast and is still ongoing, which is probably where a lot of the confusion comes from. My bookshelf feels a lot lighter now that I've got the whole set, I can tell you that much.
