You only have to read 1 volume regardless of the length of the full series.

And as far as I know, everything on site listed as a novel is a light novel.

Now, this is a bit weird of a situation, so i'm not sure how to go about it. Shiver was released recently stateside and i bought it, not having read it yet. I wanted to use it for #1 (a collection of short stories) but i noticed that it hadnt been approved yet? I'm a little confused if i can or cant use it (i assume not) But it has been out for a good two months so i was wondering how a thing even gets approved xD Thanks in advance.

just get the mangaupdate or wikipedia page for shiver and you can use it

One of my favorite anituberisms was when people were saying Re:Zero was this intense deconstruction on anime tropes when it came out, and then years later when I got around to reading it it was just lolicon chuunige.

So do i just link both the mal and mangaupdate pages when i list it in my challenge list?

Just to ask (I apologize if this sounds similar to the last question i asked plus if this sounds a bit confusing)

For the "Read a comedy or slice of life manga" challenge, i chose to read Karakai Jouzu no (Moto) Takagi-san, but as it is an ongoing manga, i started and catched up to the current chapter on the 13th February. For the finished date, do I put the finished date as the 13th (The day i catched up to the current chapter) or do I have to update the finished date every time a new chapter is released

put the date of the day you catch up to the latest release
