John really had his moment to shine this week! The ending was sick. Also, when Edward was feeling himself playing the piano, I found his surprise and coming back down to earth when the bird came to give him a warning to be really funny for some reason, even though it was just a little thing.

The way this manga just rolls from one chapter to the next is interesting. It’s quite different from other manga I’ve read. It also makes it so that I accidentally get a preview of next week’s reading when I find myself on the first page of it. The preview this time had me saying “Uh, what’s going on there?” :joy:

Somehow I completely missed seeing all comments between my last two posts.

I’ll get that schedule fixed right away. Thanks!

Clearly that’s one disadvantage of my new script that automates the thread-building for me: I’m not spending nearly as much time as I used to on putting everything together, so I’m less likely to notice such a mistake!

Edit: Found the culprit. I need to update my automation script to catch/warn on this situation!

Though unrelated to the book, may I ask how this script works? Feel free to go into technical detail

It was really hard to stop reading this week. Also:

Drops this on us. Refuses to elaborate.

This is getting unsettling rapidly!

I'm still finishing up trying to reach "version 1.0", but the idea is:
  1. You fill out some book information, including the weekly schedule.
  2. With a few clicks, a vocabulary sheet populates all the tabs you need.
  3. With one click, you have the text to paste in for your volume/book home thread.
  4. With one click, you have your text to paste for the weekly thread/reply.

Here are some posts I did on it, but keep in mind that the older they are, the more likely they are to have changed in appearance and functionality since then:

Edit: To be slightly technical...

Everything lives in an HTML file, a CSS file, and some Javascript files. The Javascript is used to manipulate the HTML page in the browser window and can save/load to the browser’s local storage. (Optionally, one can save/load with JSON files.) It can also generate a Google AppsScript macro for populating a vocabulary sheet.

Chapters 43 and 44

Christmas Schedule

This week’s material will span two weeks. “Week 5” will shift over to January 7th.

Hopefully, this will help everything keep caught up, or catch up a little if needed, without worrying about holiday plans cutting into that oh-so-important reading time!
