manga.lastChapter is returning different value from manga.getFeed()

See original GitHub issue

Hi all, I noticed the value for manga.lastChapter is different from manga.getFeed()

const manga = await MFA.Manga.get('32d76d19-8a05-4db0-9fc2-e0b0648fe9d0');
manga.lastChapter // 108

const feeds = await manga.getFeed({
        limit: Infinity,
        translatedLanguage: ["en"],
        "order[chapter]": "desc",
      });

feeds[0].chapter // 144

Not sure this is a bug, or I understand the feed chapter id wrongly

lastChapter and lastVolume are both returned as attributes of manga objects returned by Mangadex, so they are included as a part of the Manga class. Their values seem to be dependent on the default feed order because the first chapter based on default order seems to be the same as the Manga attribute.

However, this seems incorrect as @johnlim5847 described (this chapter is ahead by 40+ chapters). Therefore, this may be a bug on Mangadex’s end or I am misunderstanding it, so for now only use lastChapter/lastVolume as representations of the chapter number and volume number of the first chapter in the default feed. For any other context, using a feed request with a limit of one to get the most recent/highest-number chapter in a certain language seems like the best option.

On another note, during previous versions of the official MD API, lastChapter contained non-number titles, but while researching this issue, it seems that all occurrences of this attribute have become numbers like lastVolume, so the type of Manga.lastChapter may become a number like Chapter.chapter in the next version.

.lastChapter returns a string because it’s not a function, it only gives you the lastChapter field returned by the response.
getFeed() is a function that returns chapter data from the /manga/id/feed.
