I get that. Reading a light novel series for me is also something that takes a long time, especially because I don’t want to read only one series from start to finish before moving on to the next.
I’ve still only finished one light novel series, and it was just 5 volumes
I’ve looked into it a few times, and it never seems like it would save that much money. A lot of the cost comes from shipping / import fees, and those tend to be higher with everyone compared to Amazon.
I haven’t looked into it a ton because I prefer ebooks but I figured it’d be worth it with the sheer amount of used books you can get off amazon for like 1 cent. But again, idk haven’t looked into it a ton.
Well that’s on the expensive side. I bought a bunch of books/manga recently on Amazon and most were less than 600 yen (the most expensive was 840 yen). But I looked up the forwarding service stuff so long ago I don’t remember the actual numbers.
Chronologically I’m so very behind, like I need 20 pages to finish chapter 1. But I’ve been reading some small parts of each week to keep up with the story (that’s all the time I have each week). I do need to backtrack and continue reading from where I left off. But I feel that’s impossible so I might jump a bit ahead.
We seem to have gone at this very much the same way, haha… Except I only read ‘ahead’, so to say, when we have the discord sessions, but I don’t think I’ve stayed until the end once.
Since we seem to be the 2 people who consistently vote how behind we are, I was very curious.
I usually start reading on the day the schedule says(so Mondays for re:zero) regardless of when the topics are posted(well, not for all the book clubs, I’m not fast enough to read all the ones that start on Saturday on the same day while also reading some SAO, but then that’s because I’m reading other books and not because I’m waiting)
