I have this datastore that saves both inventory AND numbers, here it is (serverscript in serverscriptservice)

local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("BronzeDarkRPstats")
local dataTable = {}
function save(plr)
	dataTable.cash = plr.Cash.Value
	dataTable.karma = plr.Karma.Value
	dataTable.inventory = {}
	for _,item in ipairs(plr:WaitForChild("Inventory"):GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(dataTable.inventory,item.Name)
		print("saved "..item.Name.." into datastore")
	end
	
	local success,failure = pcall(function()
		datastore:UpdateAsync(plr.UserId,function(data)
			local currentData = data
			return currentData
		end)
	end)
	if success then
		print('data saved')
	elseif failure and not success then
		print(failure)
		warn('data failed to save')
	end
	for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if v.Name == plr.Name.."_Item" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
end
function load(plr)
	local data
	
	local success,failure = pcall(function()
		data = datastore:GetAsync(plr.UserId) --load
	end)
	
	if success and data then
		plr.Cash.Value = data.cash
		plr.Karma.Value = data.karma
		for i,v in ipairs(data.inventory) do
			local item = game.ReplicatedStorage.Items:FindFirstChild(v)
			if item then
				local clone = item:Clone()
				clone.Parent = plr.Inventory
				print('loaded '..item.Name)
			end
		end
		print("successfully loaded data")
	elseif failure and not success then
		print(failure)
		warn('data did not load')
	end
end

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Cash.Parent = plr
	Cash.Name = 'Cash'
	Cash.Value = 10000
	local Karma = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Karma.Parent = plr
	Karma.Name = 'Karma'

	
	load(plr)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	save(plr)
end)
game:BindToClose(function()
	for _, Player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	   coroutine.wrap(save, Player);
	end
end)

To help you understand, let's say the player has 7 apples in their inventory. The server removes 5 of them, leaving 2 apples left. When the player leaves, it prints that it saved 2 apples in their inventory. However when they join back, it loads 7 apples...

I'm still very new to datastores and not experienced with them. It confuses me very often and I have no idea why this isn't working as intended...

Any help is greatly appreciated!
