獣の奏者 (Kemono no Souja) Home Thread

Maybe it will arrive once things settle down a bit? That sucks anyway.

I can always hope! Generally speaking I have a pretty strong bias against ebooks, but reading 空ろの箱と零のマリア was fine, and the bookwalker dictionaries are actually pretty decent compared to kindle (even if the bookwalker interface annoys me), so I figured eeehhh why not.

How difficult was 獣の奏者 book 1 for you? For this I’m going to borrow the new “nomination” descriptions.

  • 1 - Required no effort at all
  • 2 - Required minimal effort
  • 3 - Required moderate effort
  • 4 - Required significant effort
  • 5 - Required so much effort that my head exploded :exploding_head:

It’s interesting to see that moderate effort was the highest diffulty for everyone. I was expecting one or two people for significant effort. Maybe they did not finish though by I’m suprise how much the book seems to fit for everyone.

Same for like and dislike no one hated it or is neutral.

Good job @seanblue you got the perfect book. :tada: You have a talent for choosing book. never saw so many people and not one dislike.(or maybe i’m not enough in book club to know :thinking:) Anyway thanks for making me discover this nice book series.

It’s also interesting because difficulty is so subjective. My “minimal effort” is clearly not the same as @Naphthalene’s “minimal effort”. But having read other stuff in the last year that’s harder, this felt “minimal” by comparison. Also I just ignored those couple really hard sections since they were outliers.

That is true. But we do all seemed to have agreed though which is interesting.

For me sometime I felt like Re Zero was easier depending of which part of which books I was reading. I guess I got more used to Re Zero since I was reading more of it.

same. They was 3 or 4 chapter that was harder but in general it was fairly simple.

Time for book two!


I tried to post book two’s cover in the OP next to book one’s cover, but in the actual post it forces them onto separate lines. Looks so much cooler side by side since it’s really one picture.
