Shorter week again this time, the next proper endpoint was around 30k… ;u;

9-nine- Episode 3, Week 7 thread:
The endpoint this time is sort of in the middle of an on-going scene, ish? But it starts a new development after that for a while so it feels like a stop. It has one of those scene transition “blackouts” so it’s easy to spot but be careful regardless and check the screenshot to confirm. :3
We’re at 172k characters at the moment, it’s very likely that next week will be the last, depending on how much of a cliffhanger it creates and/or how short one more week would seem, but honestly I don’t think it will be needed (JPDB marks 199k). I still will try not to make it longer than 30k if that is the case, though as always, last week will go for two weeks before we start Episode 4.

9-nine- Episode 3, Week 8 [END] thread:
And that’s officially another episode down 
. Congrats again to everyone who has made it this far, and for the ones that will in the future! It was funnily enough 2k characters shorter than Episode 2, pretty close.
This would make July 28th the start date of Episode 4, which coincidentally is the start date of Fatal Twelve. If this is an issue we can either move it one week early to July 21st, or one week later to August 4th. Personally I would avoid pushing it to August, with the end of the VN drawing closer it might kill a chunk of the momentum from Episode 3’s ending, but ultimately it comes down to what we want as a group so let me know your thoughts 
. For me either 21st or 28th are both good, I don’t mind starting when Fatal Twelve does because I won’t be reading 999 by then anymore, so it’s just a matter of replacing one with another.

Either one works well for me. I have a preference for the 21st but I don’t mind waiting until the 28th if that works out better for everyone. I 100% agree with not pushing it to August.
Also thank you again for running the club on this episode and posting all the threads. And congrats to everyone else who finished this episode

I’m all for starting July 21st and get some progress into episode 4. The last week of episode 3 was short enough that, for me at least, already felt like sort of a break.
I don’t really mind if we want to start later, though…

Oh I forgot to ever respond! Yeah either should be fine for me tbh @rikaiwisdom

Thanks for the feedback c: OP is updated with the new info, Episode 4 starts on July 21.
How’s everyone feeling on pace? This one is a bit longer than eps 2 and 3, about 30k characters more, so that means at least 9 weeks but potentially 10. If we want to make it 8 weeks we’d need to increase it to ~27.5k to reach comfortably, but there’s really no need to do so if we don’t mind this episode taking longer.
As always, I bring up pace periodically just to have a feel for how everyone is feeling so far to make tweaks along the way for a better experience if needed, in case there has been a general improvement and a different pace would fit better. Personally I don’t mind the 25k again as I’m reading a lot on the side, so feel completely free to give raw, honest feedback. In any case by default I’ve set the pace to the usual 25k per week, which unless we decide otherwise, will be the official pace for this episode too.

I think keeping pace the same is fine for this one. Similar to you, I have quite a lot of other reading going on (and three other clubs I will be managing), so keeping the reading pace the same here would help keep that manageable.
I’m also still playing catch-up a bit from all my travelling the last couple of weeks.

Fair enough 
. In my case I meant it as I don’t mind either way, because now I fill the week with other reading material once I’m done with the club(s). My personal preference is always reading a bit more, so I really don’t mind increasing the pace, but now that I read other things on the side with no restrictions that itch for quantity is fulfilled, so if we stay with 25k I also don’t mind at all because I simply read more of the other stuff. In essence, somewhat of a preference, but not really, and certainly not if others don’t want to.
My only real issue would be if we feel that the pace by which we’re reading something feels slow for the story to unfold in a satisfying way, but so far that hasn’t been the case for 9-nine- so I doubt it is for this episode. So far everyone thought 25k was a good pace.
Fatal Twelve is also starting very soon, and I’m sure at least a few of us (most?) will be reading both, so that’s something to consider too.

I’m fine with keeping the pace the same for ep4. With Fatal Twelve starting soon, I’ll be reading with two clubs at the same time for the first time, so for me, it’d be nice to keep the same pace to see if being in two VN clubs is manageable (especially since I like to read my own stuff on the side too) or if I should stick to just one in the future.

Yeah, similar thoughts from me. I’m doing both clubs, reading a novel, and whatever else I fit in here and there, so I’m content with the pace heh. Right now the amount we do in 9-nine- usually allows me to comfortably knock it out in in two sessions, which is nice. Still hoping to get faster for the future, but I don’t think it has happened yet.

Someone please release me from the wheel of streak posting

By the way, the New Episode is on a historical low sale (-40%) with the VN sales period on Steam, it might be a good opportunity to get it. It doesn’t mean that it won’t go that low on future sales, it might even become the new standard sale, but I guess one can never be certain. Not a big difference either way.
