Welcome to Week 6 of Fatal Twelve!
We are reading Fatal Twelve as part of the Visual Novel Book Club! Fatal Twelve is a mystery VN with a death game premise and multiple endings.
For more information on this VN, please check out the Home Thread!
Pace
Each week, we will aim for approximately 25K characters. Some most weeks will be longer or shorter, depending on appropriate breakpoints! Check this section in each weekly thread to see the stopping point. There is the possibility of some mild spoilers some weeks, so be aware!
Choices
This section will have the list of choices that you should select if you are following along exactly with the book club. While you of course can read the VN however you like, it will be really difficult to contribute to the discussion threads if you are reading a different arc than the club, so please keep that in mind!
No choices this week! Just read to the end point!
Discussion Guidelines
Spoiler Courtesy
Please follow these rules to avoid inadvertent ネタバレ. If you’re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.
- Any potential spoiler for the current week’s reading need only be covered by a spoiler tag. Predictions and conjecture made by somebody who has not read ahead still falls into this category.
- Any potential spoilers for external sources need to be covered by a spoiler tag and include a label (outside of the spoiler tag) of what might be spoiled. These include but are not limited to: other book club picks, other books, games, movies, anime, etc. I recommend also tagging the severity of the spoiler (for example, I may still look at minor spoilers for something that I don’t intend to read soon).
- Any information from later in the book than the current week’s reading (including trigger warnings that haven’t yet manifested) needs to be hidden by spoiler tags and labeled as coming from later sections.

Posting Advice
- When asking for help, please mention the page number, and check before posting that your question hasn’t already been asked. As the threads get longer, it becomes more convenient to use the Search function, which is located in the upper right corner of the forum. It is the magnifying glass which is near your profile picture! The best way to search is usually to type part of the sentence you are confused about, and select “in this topic”. This will show you all posts within the current thread which has that string of text.
- Be sure to join the conversation! It’s fun, and it’s what keeps these book clubs lively! There’s no such thing as a stupid question! We are all learning here, and if the question has crossed your mind, there’s a very good chance it has crossed somebody else’s also! Asking and answering questions is a great learning opportunity for everyone involved, so never hesitate to do so!
Participants
- I’m reading along
- I have finished this part
- I won’t be reading with the club
Probably makes it easier for them to just go on autopilot. However, it also means that all the other participants will be gathering in their hometown and will probably have an easier time finding their personal information. (I mean, Rinka and Miharu go to school nearby, so it probably wouldn’t be too tough to, like RInka was trying to do with Ushidzuka, hang around chat with people to find out their personal info.
Especially as I’m someone who really loves my stuffed animals… I can definitely see myself bequeathing an important plush to someone if I knew I was going to die in a few days.
I could be mis-remembering, but I thought Rinka made some comment at one point about how the cardbooks let her understand everyone, not just other participants, and she uses the tourist in the cafe as an example of a non-participant. 
I love that he believes Ushidzuka that Pachinko is a serious battle he goes to every day. 
He and Odette deserve it.
