I mean each person has their own reading speed, right? I definitely won't take the amount of days it's showing for me to re-complete the manga I've read so far. How is it calculated exactly?
I honestly have no idea what I'm supposed to type here.

I never understand why we even have "days" on the manga list... You can guess the anime since most of them are like 20~24 mins but there is no such a thing for manga.

Huh, guess that makes sense. It takes 4-5 min for me to go through a chapter, so it would be lower. They should let us set the time for each chapter/volume read, so we can get a proper final count.

Days for manga is just.... illogical. One person can read 30 - 50 chapters in one day, while the other can only read a few. For Anime, it is understandable since they have a unit of measurement, each episode is 20 minutes long, so they would be able to add up and calculate how many days based on how many episodes the person has seen. An Anime episode cannot be skimmed through, but a manga can be read according to someone's pace.

Thanks for the explanation above though.

Bruh, been wondering about it since I first saw it. That makes no sense. For anime you can do the math to convert watching time into days but for manga you simply can't.

If the statistic isn't useful, then don't mind it, but I personally think something is better than nothing. Possibly in the future there could be a different factor for calculating novel read time, but otherwise, I don't think there is a lot else that can be done.
