As usual I calculated the number of kindle locations for the suggested schedule: [image] So I get an average length of 248 for each night, which if we split each night in half would give 124 kindle locations per week, with relatively small variations (compared to 173 locations per week for 二重面相). …

[image] 2000kanji: (compared to 173 locations per week for 二重面相). It’s a bit on the slower side, but given the structure of the 9 nights it looks fairly reasonable to me. I’m bad at estimating how hard it is for people to keep up. We also have to take into account that 人質 is probably a notch…

[image] downtimes: Doing one night a day seems a little too fast, though, and slicing the chapters differently than roughly in half also doesn’t sound like the best of ideas. That was exactly my thinking! And if we feel that it’s way too slow after all, we can always switch to a full night pe…

Hey all, I was a bit busy in the meantime, but now I am ready to find a suitable schedule :flexed_biceps: [image] pocketcat: I’m personally fine with the existing schedule We should keep in mind that this is the Intermediate club, with an envisioned schedule of roughly 15 pages per week (and…

This here looks like a suitable break right in the middle of night 2: [image]

Thank you very much! It’s an excellent break, I agree. I’ve combined the results of the two polls where everybody said it’s a good initial plan to split each night in two, and where everybody said they don’t care which schedule we will pick. We haven’t determined where to split the last two nights,…
