Notes for nerds
Per-episode volumes come from the 'adaptation' field on each Mushoku Tensei Fandom wiki episode page. Season-level ranges agree with Wikipedia (Season 1 = Volumes 1-6, Season 2 = Volumes 7-12). Season 3 Part 1 has no independent second source per episode. Some episodes draw on extra or side chapters printed in earlier volumes (marked in the notes), so their ranges can run backwards relative to the main story. Episode numbers follow per-season numbering (Season 2 starts at episode 0); Wikipedia's overall numbering differs. sourceTotal counts the 26 main light novel volumes only, excluding the Redundant Reincarnation side volumes.
