Webtoon & Light-Novel Caught-Up Starter
This free single-tab reading tracker turns any backlog into hours. Ninety-six chapters behind on a web novel, two volumes behind on a light novel, sixteen episodes behind on a webtoon — which is the bigger evening? You genuinely cannot tell, because no two series are counted the same way. So you log the latest release, where you are, and how many minutes one unit takes you, and the sheet works out how far behind you are and what that is in hours. A strip at the top totals those hours across everything you have logged, so webtoons, manhwa, manhua, manga and light novels finally sit on one scale. Download it, fill it in, and stop guessing which backlog to clear tonight.

What it does
- One row per series — webtoon, manhwa, manhua, manga, web novel or light novel: the title, the unit it's counted in, the latest release, where you are, and how long one unit takes you.
- Computes how far behind you are and — the useful part — what that is in hours, so an episode backlog and a volume backlog are finally comparable.
- Gives each series a verdict: caught up, behind, or way behind (more than four hours of reading).
- Totals the hours across everything you've logged in a strip at the top of the sheet, which is the number a plain reading list can never give you.
- Comes pre-loaded with eight fictional example series so it opens on a worked example — clear just the cells you type in, not the whole rows, since the calculated columns sit between them.
- Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice — no macros, no signup, nothing saved anywhere but your own file.

Want the whole backlog ranked for you?
This free starter converts a backlog into hours, but you still read across the rows yourself. The full Webtoon / Light-Novel Tracker does the ranking and the analysis. A self-filling Catch-Up Queue orders everything by the hours it would take to clear, and a pace engine reads your own session log to say plainly when a series is outrunning you. An Unlock Ledger prices the coin packs and fast passes you log per hour of reading, a drop-day week grid fills itself in, and a live Dashboard counts the lot — alongside a curated guide to ten ways serialized reading is charged for. It's one owned workbook for Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice, with a one-click Google Sheets copy.
A one-time purchase you keep — the owned workbook between a blank spreadsheet and a rented reading app.
