This book is Volume 9 of the Saikawa & Moe (S&M) Series Book Club. Join the Saikawa & Moe (S&M) Series Book Club here!

Despite of this, it shouldn’t be much of a problem to read it without knowing the other volumes. Of course we learned about the main protagonists’ backgrounds in previous books, but usually there is a quick recap in each volume that covers the most important points. Character development is also very slow because each volume’s main focus is on a given criminal case and not on the life of the people around it, and the cases themselves have been totally unrelated so far. In any case, if you are wondering about anything while reading this book, you are of course free to ask and somebody can fill you in.

I feel like I wouldn’t mind if we were to go at a faster pace. What do you guys think?

I could go faster because I dropped the slow reading book but I don’t think everyone can.

Tuesdays are actually a really nice “start” date for me because of the way my weekly schedule works lol

I could go faster, but don’t mind either way

I could go faster considering I’m actually caught up now. :slight_smile: I don’t mind the current pace either though, no strong opinion here.

We could try increasing the pace during the upcoming week and see how it everyone likes it. If it’s too fast we could go back to the original pace. How about one chapter a week?

  • Let’s try that
  • Let’s keep the current pace

I’m probably not going to manage to read 100+ pages every week, but I also don’t really mind if I fall behind.

Same here :sweat_smile: My days are currently pretty mixed and predictions are quite difficult. If everybody likes to go faster, I don’t want to be in the way (and I don‘t mind trailing behind).

@Redglare have you thought about a new schedule yet? Should we simply double the speed (i.e. read two weeks‘ amount in one week) or do you have something else in mind?

Yeah, I’m thinking doubling it so we’re reading one chapter per week. If people don’t mind trailing behind, we could try just for the upcoming week and see if we want to keep going like that or go back to the original pace.

I don’t exactly want to ruin the club either with lots of people trailing behind :caught_durtling: :see_no_evil:

As our speed-up-experiment-week is almost over, I was wondering how to proceed.

  • Stick with fast weeks
  • Return to slow weeks
  • No strong opinion
  • Something else (please explain)

The poll has spoken, and we’re proceeding with one chapter per week for the remainder of the book!

After actually voting for fast weeks… 2 weeks ago? I got so overwhelmed that I’m only just now getting back to reading more than a handful of pages regularly. :joy: It’ll be a bit before I’m caught up again, what with ~100 pages of 理由 also still waiting for me… Oh well. :joy: On a positive note, things shall be calmer for this month. (We moved successfully. Old apartment keys were safely returned so we can concentrate on only making the new one livable now. XD)

If you survived our faster pace until now, here is week 7!
If you’re trailing behind, here is week 7 as well :laughing:
