This is how I adjusted the schedule:
| Week | Start Date | Chapter | Page Numbers | Page Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | May 20th | Chapter 1 - Part 1 | 3 - 26 | 24 |
| Week 2 | May 27th | Chapter 1 - Part 2 | 27 - 40 | 14 |
| Week 3 | Jun 3rd | Chapter 1 - Part 3 | 41 - 54 | 14 |
| Week 4 | Jun 10th | Chapter 2 - Part 1 | 55 - 66 | 12 |
| Week 5 | Jun 17th | Chapter 2 - Part 2 | 67 - 82 | 16 |
| Week 6 | Jun 24th | Chapter 2 - Part 3 | 83 - 106 | 24 |
| Week 7 | Jul 1st | Chapter 3 - Part 1 | 107 - 137 | 31 |
| Week 8 | Jul 8th | Chapter 3 - Part 2 | 138 - 158 | 21 |
| Week 9 | Jul 15th | 番外編〜ハニー先輩[…]〜 + Egoistic Club | 159 - 177 | 19 |
I found good breaking points for all of them, and I hope the ramp up works well in chapter 2. I know the gap between 16 and 24 seems quite high, but while I could potentially move the break 3 pages forward, 2 of those pages have so little text it felt a bit underwhelming, especially since the current break between part 2 and 3 of chapter 2 is as good as it can get (time skip!).
I also double checked why chapter 3 was split in such an uneven way, and that is because that is a natural split, while moving the split earlier would be smack dab in the middle of a flow that seemed confusing to break in the middle of.
But hopefully the ramp I managed to build in chapter 2 will work, and also you know, we’ll be more used to their shenanigans 100 pages in.
Let me know what you think of the new splitting of chapter 2. The chapter 1 split is going live as soon as I can finish the new thread after posting this (I’ll be too busy tomorrow to do it timely then).
We’ll check back in on speed in chapter 2 again, and see if we need to divide chapter 3 into three too. But until then, hopefully this schedule will be a bit gentler for us all.
