That sounds very much like a TL or 女性 story (especially the part about the main character being a “デブ”; you need the readership to be able to self-insert 
)
Fun fact: TL and BL is not considered “adult” content by Booklive for the most part. I really need to scroll hard in those categories to find some stuff hidden under a 
, despite very explicit scenes in the stuff I have read from those categories. I think the content needs to go really above and beyond (like, full zoom on the genitals or something?) to be considered “adult”. Considering that Bookwalker is a sister company of Booklive, I assume they have the same rules?

Does anyone mark books as read in Bookmeter when only listening to the audiobook version?

I do, but I track my pages read in a spreadsheet so for me Bookmeter is just a social thing where I can share what books I’ve consumed (in any format).

Oh, yeah I don’t care about pages read anyway. So I’m not worried about my page stats being messed up or anything like that.

I think I will track my reading on Natively. Just registered and like the interface and the cross-references to WaniKani.

Just a quick heads up that the Intermediate Book Club has started voting on their next pick:

I’m pretty sure the audiobooks are also on bookmeter. Not sure if you care about that tho

Ah, I didn’t really think about that. I always register the print version, even when reading an ebook though. So I guess I’d do the same here if I decide to add it.

Also, page number is kinda arbitrary. It will vary between editions of a given book (i.e. 単行本 vs 文庫本) but the actual content is the same.
It’s just fun to see the numbers go up.

I didn’t enjoy 吸血鬼のお年ごろ. Vampires + mystery has the potential to be fun but this particular vampire family was not to my taste. The fearsome vampire lord turns out to be just a jolly papa, and then he starts dating his college-aged daughter’s classmate and they live their retro sitcom life. I guess it’s a little like the Addams Family, but not as stylish.

Yeah, I can definitely see that some people would bounce off it. Personally I kinda like the goofy humour bits.

Added myself and did some alphabetical rearranging, hopefully I didn’t mess anything up.
On top of the 10 books and 24 manga I also added as goals 4 games in Japanese… I might be setting myself up for failure already but where’s the fun in playing it safe anyway?

2023 will be a busy reading year if the start is anything to go by.
My goals are:
2 books
16 manga
2 VN
I’m currently a little behind on one VN club and will be behind on a second one tomorrow. xD And I expect the VN clubs to account for a lot of my reading these first few months.

First time joining, and I am pretty excited to do some serious reading this year! :3
I’ve set my goal at 10 books because I am trying to be more ambitious in 2023. Should be doable? Though I feel that the real challenge will be for me to stay consitent and keep reading once my start-of-the-year enthusiasm fizzles out.

Book clubs might help with that. Peer pressure and all

I was thinking more camaraderie and sharing the story with other people, but then peer pressure have never worked to get me to do a thing, only to do the opposite. xD
