I’d say if everyone else is okay with it. I’m okay with it. I haven’t caught up because I’m behind the eight ball for work and have been hired at the last minute to teach a course that I need to put together in less than a week with no time to prepare it. So I’ve only been able to read on my commute to work, which is usually enough if I weren’t already behind because of work. I’m likely to be behind probably until the end of next month 😂 ---

I’m okay with increasing the speed but I don’t feel strongly one way or the other. The story is starting to pick up and I wouldn’t mind reading a bit more (1.5-2x?) each week. At the same time though, life is kind of stressful/unpredictable at the moment and I may not be reading as much overall for a while. ---

Actually, thinking about what it means to be intermediate (i.e. roughly N3), I realized that I would never have been to manage Haruhi when I was that level, slow or not. 🤔 So, yeah, I agree it’s pretty intimidating… all the more rewarding once you finish it! > [@LucasDesu](#): > > teach a course that I need to put together in less than a week with no time to prepare it Wow, that sounds stressful! Good luck! > [@brrricane](#): > > The story is starting to pick up and I wouldn’t mind reading a bit more (1.5-2x?) each week. That’s one of the reasons I thought about it 😛 For now, I think we can just keep going as usual, though. I don’t mind reading multiple books at the same time, so I’m fine with reading Haruhi in parallel with the next book as well. ---

Welcome! 🙂 I guess this depends on the reading speed you’re comfortable with and whether or not you’re familiar with the series / comfortable with potentially missing out on some information. Fair warning, half of the people reading are disappointed with how certain things are handled in book, while the other half are enthusiastic series fans. 😅 ---
