This week’s reading is really tough on vocab.
Or maybe I’m weak today. Hope next week when I’ll try to reread it would be easier.

No, not being weak. I just checked in here as I can’t understand a word.

Lol, same. And now I’ve read and more or less understood this chapter up to the point where the vocab sheet ends and no further.

But how does the AI know its name? Does this mean it is also an official employee of the 丑三技術研究機関 :smile:?

Well, there was something I noticed in the second half of the chapter, which I’ll bring up when we get there. :slightly_smiling_face:

Now I’m going to reread this section, since I didn’t notice anything (read ahead last night).

Edit: oh. Interesting.

Yeah, that AI seems to use overly complicated words for everything :smile: Definitely a lot harder to read than previous weeks.

And very subtle :smile: I also didn’t spot it on my first read-through.

Better late than never could be my life’s motto, but oh well, time to get on with week 8!

This was definitely a challenging section. I often read manga on my phone between sets at the gym, but this one required so many lookups I had to stop. Still need to read the second half of the chapter, but I’ll do that later.

I’m behind, but this is the week I was on. I think I’m going to have to drop reading the manga until some later time. My vocabulary just isn’t up to par and the vocab sheet doesn’t have everything I need. (which is basically everything tbh) If it had furigana I could probably still tough it out, but this chapter is just ridiculous.

Anyways, thanks for the club. The 60% of the volume I did make it through was a good read.

This chapter difficulty reminded me of HagaRen’s (in that I had to look up every other word …or just every word in some sentences). HagaRen is level 31. This manga is level 25 (currently) so I decided to consider this chapter a fluke and just powered through with only partial understanding.
If you’d rather continue I could update vocab list (and maybe understand more as a bonus), just say the word.

I would definitely appreciate that a lot. I hate to stop reading, but I also don’t want to be super frustrated the entire time. I’m dealing with some pretty heavy stuff in my personal life right now, so my brain just doesn’t have as much room for other things as I’d like at the moment.

Also ask any specific questions here - this chapter was really tough!

I’ve actually finished the volume and it gets better again.

I added more words to the vocab list, hope it helps!I’m gonna do second part of this chapter later.
For me memorizing some words before second reading helped only partly, the manner of speaking of AI was still difficult. So fighting! :muscle:

There’s also mokuroed version online if you use Yomitan, though I haven’t checked it

I’ve made it into week 8! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
And now let me take a little break before I work through the next section. If I don’t my brain might explode. Thank you so much for all your help!

I already hate this guy. I may have peeked ahead in the chapter and I’m not upset in the slightest by how this turns out.

I felt exactly the same. He was creepy from the start, but by the end of this chapter, I was very ready for him to go extinct.

Ahh, glad to hear that!
I added some words for the second half too. IMO it’s slightly easier then the first half.

Well, he was born…erm, made like this :woman_shrugging:t2:
