The illustrations at the beginning are more like “we’re gonna lure them in with this, then surprise them with awesome plot”.
I was talking about the illustrations in the middle, but yeah, those too.
You already know, but careful, those can spoil a lot. (Still crying in chapter 2 of volume 1)
Most light novels I’ve looked at seem to pick those moments for illustrations for some reason (and that includes some I’ve seen where it’s just a single line or two mentioning the thing, yet there’s still an illustration of that), so having those kinds of pictures isn’t always indicative of what the written story focuses on. For re:zero (comment on the kind of thing you mentioned and how much it happens or doesn’t happen)the only such scene I know will happen that I personally know I won’t like won’t be until volume 4/5-ish sometime, at least based on the anime, though that’s for different reasons than just fanservice too and I don’t remember anything all that bad otherwise, so I don’t think you have to be too worried
Hmm I wonder what it could be 
Well, presumably sales 
Still feels a bit weird when illustrations like that don’t really match what the text focuses on though.
Finished chapter 1 
Seems like I’ll have to put this volume aside to join volume 2, and then read it when I can. Well, if the same doesn’t happen in volume 2.
I see you are doing it before I ask you ha ha. It really well made to be able to have around 40 pages each weeks. 
8 weeks, we save one week from the last book. Two months sure goes by fast.
Just for fun since I already have the next few books, if we wanted to get one week faster with each book:
we’d need to read 45 pages per week to finish the third book in seven weeks
We’d need to read 52 pages per week to finish the fourth book in six weeks
We’d need to read 55 pages per week to finish the fifth book or 49 pages per week to finish short story collection 1 in five weeks
It’s obviously not very realistic to continue that pattern particularly far though 
(it’d become really difficult when we’d start needing to read the books in negative amounts of weeks 
)
You mean you are not ready to read volume 10 in -1week? We will be able to finish the serie before we started it at this rate
Ooh, then we can have started a new series already~
How exciting.
Anyone’s up for [re]watching the first 3 episodes of the anime which cover this first volume? Maybe we can do that at the end of this week, since volume 2 begins right after that, and we can create a thread to discuss it.
- Yes
- Another time
- No

I’ll have to see if I can find it. In theory a nice idea!
(this is really only the 3 episodes? )
Yeah 
It’s on Crunchyroll for people who have an account there.
It’s on Crunchyroll, yes (http://www.crunchyroll.com/rezero-starting-life-in-another-world-), but also on Funimation (for all of you freedom-loving Americans in the thread): https://www.funimation.com/shows/551782/
Also plenty of 海賊 streaming sites on the Internet (disclaimer: I do not endorse nor condone 海賊 behavior, all content is provided for educational purposes)
Wow look what I found. A secret week thread. I wonder what could that be
I’m pulling up late to the party but I’m gonna start reading volume 1. I have the English versions through vol 10 on my PC so if I get stuck I can always cross check myself.
Welcome aboard. I hope you will join us soon
I noticed something rather interesting based on the stuff amazon recommended to me earlier:
So… I remember someone mentioning that a new volume was released while we were reading vol 1, and… as it turns out, a new volume and a new short story collection book are going to be released later this month(at least if amazon is to be believed), just after we’ll have started the second volume, so like… I guess it turns out we’re reading this slower than the author is writing it?
Well, at least we can keep going for quite a while
Yes. Add to that, the author resumed working on the web novel (arc 6) a few days ago with 3 new chapters ever since he paused 8 months ago (to work on the LNs and some extras, and probably/hopefully the anime).
