I’ve been so busy with 獣の奏者 that I haven’t had time to finish the last chapter and a half I have left. You guys might catch up before I know it!

Hey don’t worry, if no one else, I appreciate the chance to practice reading as much as possible (though I sometimes despair whether I’ll persevere 'till the end).
Before I said I’m fine with doing chapter 6 in one week, but then I got sick and couldn’t read. So even the splitting of ch6 worked out great! …for me, at least.

Level 47… I know that book was too hard for a mere low leveler like me
While I would say that the experience of knowing about 1/3 of each level’s kanji before I get there because of my reading experience has made the WaniKani process substantially more enjoyable ever since I started

So it’s closer to 9.5 pages tbh - another week that’s not so long.

I’ve also decided to finish the book early, which I did today. I must say I liked the book better with every chapter! Early on, I was not too fond of it and thought about dropping the book, but now I’m glad I stuck to it.

It was fine for a kids book. I think I liked 魔女の宅急便 better, though it’s a bit hard to compare since my Japanese level was so different between the two.

I read like everything apart from the very last page of last week and totally forgot to ask any of my questions… I will be so ridiculously sad if I finish this late after managing to keep on top of it for so long.

There is something I’ve wanted to ask all along. Maybe it’s about time! How would you translate めちゃくちゃ通り?
It’s
めちゃくちゃ - absurd or nonsensical
通り - street, road, avenue (as a suffix)
So I’d probably go with Absurd Alley or something…

めちゃくちゃ has a meaning closer to “messed up” in this context. (Looking up your link, it’s meaning number 3 on jisho).
So “messed up street”?
