Glad to have you on board! I think it’s a bit harder, but yeah, if you’re doing well with Ruri Dragon you’ll probably be good. The speed will be a bit faster though!
Just as a bit of preparation, since not everyone might have read my nomination post, I’ve just added this to in my opening post:
Yeah, this is the main thing I’m worried about. Not so much “I won’t have enough time to read!” but more, “I’ll spend too much time reading and not enough time doing stuff I need to do irl!” Especially with my tendency to over analyze every sentence before moving onto the next one
understood. I’ve also already read the “major spoiler” trigger warning tag so, I’m prepared lol
Haha. That was me when I first read it. I never read anything in Japanese quite as fast as this. I finished the whole thing in 4 days because I couldn’t stop.
If you are reading digitally, there are several ways to deal with this. E.g. on Windows you can use KanjiTomo which will look up anything you mouse-over, or on any system you can use Mokuro which doesn’t just add furigana to most of the manga, but even makes the text selectable so you can copy it or use Yomichan (a browser plugin for really easy instant dictionary lookup).
I’m jumping in! I’m starting to get used to the pace/understanding with Ruri Dragon, but I wouldn’t say it’s easy for me, so I hesitated a lot before joining this one. The temptation was too strong though, and I’m ready for a challenge
(I might read a bit of HxH in april, so here’s hoping I don’t fall behind too much)
I agree, and while we are motivated it is worth a try. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? Not being able to understand? I’m already lost most of the times anyways!
I believe it’s done automatically - you’ll get 50% coins back instead of the usual 1%. The 840 on top is your coin total and the bottom is showing how much more you would have to spend to “rank up” and earn more coins back on future purchases.
When you buy another book, you can choose to use your points. Each point you have means 1 yen less to pay. It’s basically 50% off except you need to put in money to get the discount later on
Below コイン残高, there’s that field labeled with 今回利用数 or “amount used this time”. I think the button next to that automatically uses either all, or as much as you need
The button just says “apply”, which is vague at best. It either puts in as many coins as needed or it applies the coin amount you’ve input
Edit: lol, nevermind, the big green button below that says “use all my coins” that’s the target
Yay, finally joining another book club! I’ve only ever joined the absolute beginner one.
My current main book is 世界から猫が消えたなら, but when life gets busy with exams and deadlines I tend to abandon reading for a while . This seemed like a chill book which would help me maintain an everyday reading habit without overloading myself.
I’m looking forward to reading with you all come May!
