Also, I just finished volume 7 and with that the second arc. I don’t really have much to add to what I said before. I really liked it, but it has its flaws that might deter people and I don’t think the reward you get for pushing through will be worth it for just anyone. I really like the characters and the universe. Action scenes are pretty cool too. Book making though… hm, not really my thing, and there’s a lot of it. Ah, also illustrations are amazing (especially the color pages). I really want to share the one from volume 8, but it’s _such_ a massive spoiler (once you have read volume 3, otherwise you would lack context) that _I can’t_. ---

Well, that’s the way offshoots usually work, which is also why I was making a poll about it. It’s possible to delay the start by a few weeks so that people have time to get used to or drop 雪国. ---

> [@icefang97](#): > > I did not though «faiseuse» was an acceptable word. Always thought it was a slang word or an invented word ha ha. No, it’s the feminine form of “faiseur”, « Celui qui fabrique » (“the one that makes”, from “faire”, to make). According to the [source](http://artflx.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/dicos/pubdico1look.pl?strippedhw=faiseur&dicoid=FERAUD1787) used by the [Wiktionary page](https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/faiseuse), it existed at least as far back as 1788 (a year before the French Revolution ^^) and it is also in the physical dictionary (Larouse) I have from 1978 although it is noted as an old word no longer in common use. > [@icefang97](#): > > Talk about changing the meaning of a book title ha ha Yeah, it’s not spoiling the same part of the story ^^ But at least you know that you have to like books to read it 😛 ---

I only really saw one schedule I liked this time around, so here it is. 10 weeks, just like book one, though it’s a little less balanced. If there are major concerns with this schedule I can try to come up with a new one. P.S. With a little messing around you can copy from excel to paste tables directly into Discourse. 🎉 | Chapter | Page # | # of Pages | Pages Per Week | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Prologue | 8 | 4 | | | 1 | 12 | 13 | | | 2 | 25 | 13 | 30 | | 3 | 38 | 16 | | | 4 | 54 | 15 | 31 | | 5 | 69 | 17 | | | 6 | 86 | 16 | 33 | | 7 | 102 | 15 | | | 8 | 117 | 12 | | | 9 | 129 | 13 | 40 | | 10 | 142 | 15 | | | 11 | 157 | 13 | | | 12 | 170 | 17 | 45 | | 13 | 187 | 16 | | | 14 | 203 | 15 | 31 | | 15 | 218 | 20 | | | 16 | 238 | 19 | 39 | | 17 | 257 | 15 | | | 18 | 272 | 15 | | | 19 | 287 | 17 | 47 | | 20 | 304 | 20 | | | 21 | 324 | 19 | 39 | | Epilogue | 343 | 6 | | | Extra 1 | 349 | 16 | | | Extra 2 | 365 | 15 | 37 | | あとがき | 380 | | | ---

I’m not reading this book and I’m not planning to, but I’m curious about what book making exactly means in this series.
