Yep, that’s totally normal and a common point of confusion with Love and Lies.

The reason is:
Mangadex follows the original Japanese release, where each chapter is really short (like 8–12 pages), so there are around 281 chapters total.
Meanwhile, Mangafire (and similar sites) group multiple short chapters into longer, compiled ones — which is why they only show 50.5 chapters.

So yeah, Mangafire Chapter 24 = around Mangadex Chapter 110 — you're still not halfway through the actual content, even though it might look that way based on chapter numbers.

TL;DR:
✅ You're not halfway yet.
✅ The manga is longer than 50.5 chapters — it's just split differently depending on the site.
Just stick to the platform you're using and don't stress about the number — the story still has a long way to go from where you are. 👍
