I donāt think Iāll be able to keep up with this one unfortunately. The prologue and part 1 were fine, but the start of Part 2 is terrifying. Itās almost like itās in a different language.
Iāll still try my best but itās about as hard as the Girl Who Leapt Through Time was about seven months ago at this point.
Wait, so you are reading ahead, then?
If so, you donāt need to worry. You can try to puzzle it out first, then ask questions in two weeks.
Sorry, I meant the individual parts, not chapters, so Iām still half way through week 1ās reading (which was up to part 4).
(Iām up to page 14 on the physical book, Iāve never come across so much pieces of vocab that Iāve never seen before, so I might have to take a break to do some FloFlo for a little bit).
Yeah, rereading as new facts come up that disagree with how you read a previous sentence really helps with comprehension.
Just some litte messages.
1-We are now ending the test drive and entering the real challenge. I hope you are all ready for it
2-for those who are doing the reading aloud, we are currently at 1 hour and a half for 20 pages. Since we will be almost doubling the ammount of page would you prefer to only read a certain ammount of time, only parts, or all of it.
For the reading aloud I would like:
- Read it all and just leave if I have stuff to do
- Only read a certain for a certain ammount of time
- Only read specific part

3- @Naphthalene Can you give me the page for next week before next Sunday plz?
4 - This week reading is out go check it out Re zero Volume 1 Week 3
- Until the end of part 5 of chapter 2: 37 pages of text.
- Until the end of chapter 3: 33 pages of text
- Until the end of part 6 of chapter 4: 36 pages of text
- Until the end of part 2 of chapter 5: 35 pages
- Until the end of chapter 5: 35 pages of text
- Until the end: 11.5 pages
So, 6 more weeks then
Wow that was quick ha ha. Thanks a lot for your hardwork
Edit: Just realized but we only have 9 week on that book. That is pretty quick. I donāt remember how we had in the other books though
Itās similar in length to Haruhi, but weāll finish more than twice faster. If we get a nice group following along until the end, it could be nice to just keep going with the next books.
By the way, I just edited a typo in the schedule. The week before last is until the end of the chapter (I first planned 33 pages to the end of part 6, but the last part was only 2 pages, so I wrote 35 pages but forgot to update the first part of the sentence)
Next week is up
Next week is up
Btw The number of people coming to the reading aloud is becoming extremely low compare to the first week soā¦
- I come at each Reading aloud
- I come sometimes to Reading aloud
- I do not come often to Reading aloud
- I do not come to Reading aloud
- I am busy right now but I will try to come to Reading aloud later on
Thank you for your answer
I try to come to each but donāt always manage, and often leave early. went for sometimes with that in mind.
Iām similar to Belerith. I try to come to each, but sometimes canāt make it.
This poll is reflecting what I have been seeing the last two weeks. Kinda sad that there is only 2 of us that are sure to come and 2 maybe for now. Iām not sure that if there is enough people to continue the Reading aloud for now. I donāt think we are enough people to make two groups. Itās kinda sad to have to ask this question but here it is:
Should we have a reading aloud?
- Yes
- No
- Only in a few weeks when more people will have time
0 voters
If not enough people are interested I donāt see a point in doing it anymore. If you do not have an opinion you donāt need to vote on it. I didnāt put āno opinionā in the choice because I wanted a clear answer.
On a more fun note, I will be preparing a little something to put some spice in the weekly reading since there is not a lot of question. I hope you will like it.
I will be there more regularly pretty soon, fyi. Life is just a bit busy for the next while so I canāt promise anything for the next two weekends, though I will try my best to at least stop by for a bit.
Sorry.
I am enjoying the book and look forward to continuing reading with everyone so I hope my temporary absence doesnāt put a wrench in the tires.
You donāt need to be sorry for this though. If you your busy itās good. Iām not blaming anyone. Since we had to cancel one reading aloud and and almost canceled the last one I was just wondering if people were not too busy for it. I my country, right now, everyone is in vacation so I though maybe you were all on vacation and that it would be better to just start reading aloud in a few weeks. Or maybe that since people are adavance they didnāt felt like they needed to read aloud.
Again iām not blaming anyone. Iām happy that you still want to do reading aloud. I was just wondering if we had to change a few thing but looks like the poll is pretty unanimous
Well, only three weeks left.
I think we should start discussing what we do next.
Iām pretty happy with the story so far, so I donāt mind continuing on with no break, but maybe people not in Japan will need some down time before they can get the next book.
Also, what should we do about the pace? Itās okay for me so far, but I wouldnāt mind going a bit faster either. We are going at 35 pages a week right now, so 5 pages a day. I feel it would make sense to bump it up to 50 a week (so, 7 pages a day), then we get to read one book in less than 2 months.
(Just for fun, the absolute maximum I can devote to this book club would be 70 pages a week, and going at a pace of one book per month).
Only three week left? That was pretty quick. I was expecting it to last all summer. I will need to poll a lot of these things before deciding though, I do think that 50 pages a week seems intense because I planned to get faster and faster with each book and there is a lot of them. (And itās faster than my pace T.T)
I guess I should start doing my job thenā¦

And the next questions will come later on. I hope you guys liked the book so far and will be joining me for the next one.
Really wish I could keep up, lately I havenāt been able to give even a minute to reading this in the week. Iāve been reading small parts to keep up with discussions in threads, but I still want to continue it from where I paused and hope to finish in time for vol 2
AHAHAHAHA kill me
Anyway, I intend to see the book club through (although Iām going slow) but Iāve discovered that I donāt enjoy reading enough to want to read a novel where I already know whatās going to happen. If Re:Zero readings go on I might pop in once we hit a point the anime hasnāt covered.
Just to clarify, while I voted for 3 in the last poll, I counted the amounts of book being read and not the book clubs(so I guess I technically counted the intermediate club twice, in a way). And Iām also reading SAO at a somewhat set pace, but thatās not an actual book club Itāll also increase by one when the beginner club starts the next book, so itāll technically be 3 or 4 then, but I highly doubt thatāll take much time
(And with regards to the rest, I already have the first six volumes+ the first short story collection and the first EX book, but Iām also patient, so Iād honestly be fine with any of the options)
