In episode 2 (possibly even 1) of _Plunderer_ , Nana refers to his -999 count
as "the number of times he's been rejected by women".

Does that mean he has been rejected -999 times, meaning 999 girls have
actually _accepted_ him?

Or, is his count actually "the number of times he has successfully hit on
women" meaning he _has_ been rejected 999 times, making it a negative number?

His number goes _down_ another 1 (making it -1000) when seemingly Hina falls
for him (or at least accepts him)?

In episode 3, he states that he has been rejected by 1000 females he admires,
so that must mean his count is actually "how many women he has successfully
hit on" then, right? Unless he's being deceiving?

Sorry if this is worded poorly, talking about negative numbers and rejection
at the same time is hard.

question
plunderer
In Plunderer, what does Licht's -999 count mean?


As it is worded currently it is the number of girls who have rejected him.
After he leaves, she "rejected" him from her heart and so it went down. More
explanation may be given later on

I think it's how many girls have rejected you wich is negative because he has
been accepter by 999 (1000) girls. Hina's saying that she hates him came down
to me like some kinda love hate thingie, she actually likes him... maybe..?

According to [Fandom Wiki about Licht
Bach](https://plunderer.fandom.com/wiki/Licht_Bach)

> Licht has two separated counts: the ‘first count’ is on his left hand, which
> reads "-999". This count is the ‘first count’ since it is the “first one
> seen”. This count is obtained after the Abandonment War ended. Licht and
> Nana were roaming Althea for 300 years and to “blend in with the crowd”,
> they decided to get a second count, one like everyone else had. Nana stated
> that this Count stands for how many girls have gotten close to him. If he
> turns them down, his count goes down and visa versa. His count becomes -1000
> after Hina calls him a liar and says that she hates him. His current count
> is -1002.
>
> The ‘second count’ is 5700` and this count is his first and original count.
> This count is located on his long sword near the handle, and stands for how
> many heads he had cut off. During battle, his count increases tenfold,
> reaching the amount of 57000 when activating Schmelman's bloodlust genes.
> Later on, it was revealed that Licht was not using his original Ballot
> Replica, as the sword he was using was taken from a Ballot Holder who
> attacked him 100 years ago. Thus, 5700 is not his real count. In Chapter 50,
> it was revealed that Licht's original Ballot Replica was stored away behind
> Ende, as Schmelman was scared of the Ballot returning to Licht and with it,
> all of the other Barons. His original count on his original Ballot Replica
> is 300000, and reached 1,500000 when activating Schmelman's bloodlust genes.
> His original count stands for how many people he has killed in place of his
> friends and loved ones, as revealed after Hina and the others traveled back
> to the past. It is noted by Taketora in Chapter 53 that the 1,500000 is only
> 5 times normal, because if he goes higher than that, Licht would lose
> control of himself due to the bloodlust genes. Since it is only 5 times and
> Licht’s full power is 10 times or assumed to be, it is possible that when
> his count is at full strength, it reaches a total of 3,000000 or greater.
