What Japanese level is considered intermediate? I went ahead and bought the book because my teachers said I need to start reading native content (outside the texts in class). I’m working on N3 level grammar, and study a lot of vocab+kanji outside of WK because of language school… still super intimidated on attempting an actual book though. 😩😭 ---

Feel free to ask any question about grammar or vocabulary you may have. That’s what the threads (and the club) are for! Also, the book is made of two short stories, so it won’t take too long to reach the end of either, if that feels less intimidating. ---

I must confess I’ve been reading a pirated copy for the last few weeks, but my physical version just arrived (along with two more books by the same author; really enjoying his style) and it’s surprising how much more there is to go! I guess since we’re reaching the end of the titular story I expected us to be closer to the end of the book overall, not that I’m complaining. ---

Yes, it also surprised me when making the schedule that the titular story was less than half of the whole book… I guess it was made this way since it’s the more popular of the two?
