How to read these figures
Each row is the latest value published by its source, at its date. The measures are never added together: plays shown by an app are not ad exposures. The ReelShort counter is the one the app displays; its definition is not published. A change compares two readings of the same measure from the same source.

The VDS column shows method 1 scores, retired in October 2026, which do not describe current performance (details on the VerticalDrama Score page). Views and ranks come from the charts named in the last column. When a row spans several weeks, the reading did not move over that period: nothing is interpolated.
The Road Through Fire spans 50 episodes, shot in vertical 9:16 for mobile viewing. The short episodic format compresses narrative around cliffhangers — every episode ends on a break that pulls you to the next.
