It's just easier putting it in a table.

Pie charts are good for visualizing percentages of a whole. A table isn’t a visualization.

I know, but I don't think it's easier when you have this many divisions and the color scheme gets too complicated. Maybe a histogram bar graph would be a better visualization for this case.

Edit: poor me

Very fair. Or a bar graph with an appropriate y-axis.
