I’ll be running the コンビニ人間 Repeat Club in a few weeks, and I plan on using a very similar system. As someone who often uses old bookclub forums to aid my reading, I would find it very frustrating to have multiple topics to dig through so I think the repeat club format is also helpful for people reading the books out of sync.
Could anybody who used it (or @Radish8 ) comment on having a head start schedule? Was it useful? Difficult to manage? Confusing?
