This is gonna take a lot of weeks if we continue forever at this speed… Maybe you guys have more reading time now too. Does anyone want to speed up? I think right now its just me and @TamanegiNoKame-さん and @Ditto20-さん reading along. _Poll ([view on site](https://community.wanikani.com/t/danmachi-volume-1-week-8/42835/2))_ ---

I am fine with a bit faster. Not super super faster preferably though. ---

What speed are you thinking? Are you guys ok with 15 pages, 20 pages, let me know what is good ---

20 sounds doable to me. Maybe lets try a week of that and then talk about it afterwards and see how it went. ---

I updated the “last section” and “week 8 reading” in the main post, also there was a 1 sentence page (really short) in the physical version so I pretty much didnt count that. 20 pages, if you guys are ok with it then lets try it out! (Also I made a bookmeter account 🙂) ---

Can someone tell me the meaning of this style of number? For example 四四OOヴァリス. Numbers followed by circles. I understand that ヴァリス is their currency. ---

That means 4400. The circles are used as 0s. The actual kanji for 0 (零) isn’t used in that case. That writing is usually preferred for prices (amounts of money) and dates, rather than using 百 or 千. ---

Thank you, I dont think that was the case in 銭天童 but maybe thats because it was an easy book. ---

I think you should just read ahead if you want and you can still discuss what you want too. 🙂 ---

Well surprisingly i’m going by comparatively fast. I read 5 pages past 2 days each and 4 today (so far). I dont have time to read on 2 days a week but I think I could manage 30 too now. My problem seems to be I use the dictionary far too much, even on most words I know. I guess I dont have enough confidence in my vocabulary yet… I can read a page in prob 3 minutes other than the weird kanji here and there but with all the vocab checking it takes me to around 15 min each. (On a side note I feel im understanding the contents of the book far better than when I started so thats nice 🙂) ---

> [@afunian](#): > > My problem seems to be I use the dictionary far too much, even on most words I know. I guess I dont have enough confidence in my vocabulary yet… Been there, done that. The dictionary checking did help build confidence when I was indeed right, and helped me learn new things when I wasn’t. Keep going and you should naturally grow out of that phase. > [@afunian](#): > > On a side note I feel im understanding the contents of the book far better than when I started so thats nice 🙂 Noice :durtle_noice: ---
