So, the IBC starts 地球星人 on 27 November. For those of us who plan to read it there would be two weeks of overlap in our final 授乳 story:

What is the best way to deal with this? I can see three options:
Leave it as is and deal with two weeks of double Murata.
Post threads for the last three weeks on Nov 20th, so those who object to double Murata can finish ahead of schedule.
Speed up 御伽の部屋 so that we read it in 6 weeks.
Does anyone have other ideas? Maybe we should examine how many of us consider it a problem in the first place:
Would two weeks of double Murata be a problem for you?

I think it’s a good plan to post the threads for those who want the option, but two weeks overlap is fine by me.

I’m planning to finish 授乳 before I start a new 村田, but I’m fine with any of these options. If most of you are okay with reading double, I don’t think there’s a need to speed up the schedule. Posting the chapter theads early seems like a nice compromise instead.

‘Problem’ is a bit of a strong word, it’s more of a preference to me to speed things up here. But if the majority is fine with the overlap that’s okay for me, I’ll probably just start Earthlings two weeks later then and catch up somewhere along the way

I voted “no problem”, but speeding up is also fine by me.

I voted “no problem” as well, but that’s just personal preference and it wouldn’t be an issue for me to speed up.

Honestly after sleeping on it I think I’d rather speed things up. So I changed my vote but either is ok.

Seems like a lot of people prefer speeding up, or are at least happy enough with it. Any objections? Speak now or forever hold your peace

Lacking some page numbers/counts though because I don’t have the physical book. But I think they’re pretty even portions. EDIT: Thanks @NyappyTiramisu

My next read is here. I was debating between this one and 信仰. I am a little concerned since it’s level 35 on Natively, and my reading level is around the 29/30ish mark. Is this a harder read? Why is it ranked higher?

Ah I’ll read this later. Life Ceremony seems to be what I wanna read ATM.
