Slice of Life is… well… life!
As you’ll see in this thread, busy life events have my choosing between posting early or making you all wait, so here’s week 6’s thread.
Week 7!
Here we go again
Literally just finished week 7, and here comes week 8, nice timing xD
While I’m so behind by now.
And it’s the stretch of some of the longest chapters we’ve had
I believe, but no worries if you need to give up on catching up, either. We’ll still mostly be around if you wanna post late or anything!
My plan is currently get caught up with 夜カフェ2 because it is just so easy to read (so take no time at all). I should be there by the end of today, although the next chapter is about to start, so maybe tomorrow.
Then Orange because I’m running that club.
And Loopers last. Mostly because I know it will take the longest to catch up.
Wish me luck and energy!
You can do it! Go go, MissDagger!
I’m also a bit behind this time, have almost the entire chapter 7 pending but hopefully I can finish both 7 and 8 by next Friday ish. Supposing we don’t get an even longer one, that is .
I believe.
You’ve both got this!
Yeah I think the main thing we’re just learning here is that variable length chapters (especially without much forewarning) are a pain for people, but that’s no surprise, heh. It’s difficult to do much about that, though.
What I can say is I had to stop reading today at ~4900 characters and it wasn’t over but it feels like there’s not a ton left. Hopefully I’m right about that. And, relatively speaking, this chapter has been fairly easy, in my opinion.
Maybe it could help to look at the youtube playlist? So far, each week = one part.
Week | Approx Character Count | Length (YT ver.) |
---|---|---|
Week 1 | 2800 | 11:46 |
Week 2 | 7200 | 26:32 |
Week 3 | 6600 | 21:59 |
Week 4 | 4500 | 19:01 |
Week 5 | 8600 | 29:20 |
Week 6 | 5000 | 19:52 |
Week 7 | 10 000 | 35:51 |
Week 8 | Unknown | 23:31 |
Oh right, that totally slipped my mind, thanks! Well one piece of good news is that up until a bit at the end, they don’t get as long as week 7. Though it is in 20 parts on Youtube so there’s some sort of discrepancy in how they’re split, eventually.
Seems like I’m not the only one behind - I’m still in the middle of week 6, and looking at that week 7 monster…
(Really looking forward to get back into it tho.)
Thanks to @Redglare 's helpful idea, I put up a poll in this week’s thread to see if others would like to have a bit of a catch-up period. Linking it here to help catch people’s attention: ルーパーズ ♾ Chapter 9 (Visual Novel Book Club) - #7 by Daisoujou
@MissDagger @TobiasW @rikaiwisdom @ccookf
Tagged everyone I know has mentioned falling behind, plus I know ccookf was last heard from remarking about how long 7 was haha.
I’ve just been a bit frazzled from work. We’re in the middle of a release so I’ll probably be lagging a bit until the end of the month.
Totally understandable, best of luck riding it out!
Thanks for linking this, I’m not currently checking the threads since I’m so far behind.
But I’ve started my journey of catching up. I should be completely up to date with 夜カフェ tonight or tomorrow, then I’ll catch the first week of the new BBC book, then read one whole volume of Orange, and then… I get to take a loooooong time to catch up with this. Right now, I don’t even want to think on how few chapters I’ve finished. I think probably only three*…
Edit: *four (apparently), my dictionary app revealed to me since I have bookmarked terms from chapter 4.
Just want to give official notice that we will indeed be spending an extra week on Chapter 9. I could use it myself; I’ve gotten almost entirely negligent with Japanese recently.
Finally updated the schedule after finishing Chapter 9 myself! We’ll now be finishing up with the week of Nov 11th!
As I posted in its thread, Chapter 9 is our longest yet at about 11k characters. Best of luck everyone
