Just noticed the Week 4 Reading in the title is the same as last week. It should be Till end of chapter 3. :slight_smile:

Oh, true! I didnā€™t even notice since I bookmarked the schedule in the home thread and refer to that instead :stuck_out_tongue:

After freaking out a bit that ć‚¢ćƒ« was also summoned, I realized how interesting the contrast between Subaru and ć‚¢ćƒ«ā€™s situation is. Sure, Subaruā€™s life after coming here wasnā€™t exactly a smooth walk, but contrast that with the one-handed ć‚¢ćƒ«ā€™s response to Subaru asking whether he got to know why he was summoned after 18 years: ā€œIā€™ve been merely struggling to stay alive after allā€. Subaru is lucky he has ę­»ć«ęˆ»ć‚Š and friends he can depend on from day 1 in such a world.

This volume has a lot of exposition and world-building and sets up things quite a bit, it needs a bit of patience but I think the result will be well worth it.

I should probably start reading this weekā€™s part then :sweat_smile:

I donā€™t remember that the anime talked about ć‚¢ćƒ«being from another world though. This is what I like about the light novel there is so much more information. For Priscilla she looks like a spoiled brat in the anime from a person with high analysis ability in the book. I like Priscilia more now

Yes, this bit was completely cut out from the anime. I knew about it before, but reading it in full in the novel now, I really liked it, I didnā€™t expect it to be like this. And for Priscilla, yeah, I get why people would hate her but I just love her character, itā€™s kinda unique in a sense (well, each candidate is), and Iā€™m always looking forward to what outrageous thing sheā€™ll say.

I also thought it was pretty cool that Subaru met a fellow otherworlder. Iā€™m surprised that this detail wasnā€™t in the anime. I would love to hear ć‚¢ćƒ«ā€™s story of how he survived and made it this far. It makes you wonder how many other otherworlders there are! And another thing Iā€™m wondering is if Subaru and ć‚¢ćƒ« are even from the same world. Since the story seems to support the multiverse theory. ć‚¢ćƒ« could be from a slightly different world from Subaru, even though they have similarities.

Yes! I would also love to know how someone like Priscilla even took him in at all.

Ohh, I wonder what makes you think of that in particular. Not saying itā€™s not at all possible to think about, but, have you by any chance read arc 4? (innocent question)

Nah, havenā€™t gone past the first season of the anime. But from your post, now Iā€™m looking forward to whatā€™s going to happen :sweat_smile:

In regards to the multiverse theory, itā€™s more of a feeling, but does seem like it could fit.

Ohh I see. Itā€™s just that, multiverse really interests me as its own thing, before I knew what anime was I used to read lots about physics in general and multiverse/parallel worlds in particular, which is why I got excited :sweat_smile:

I wonā€™t say anything else about arc 4, but itā€™ll be so good when we reach that.

Because of that multiverse theory now Iā€™m starting to think that Maybe all out-worlders could be Subarus. Like a Subaru from a different universe. Iā€™m sure itā€™s not possible though but what a twist it could be.

If I remember correctly, you said arc 4 starts from volume 9? Itā€™s going to take like a year to get thereā€¦

Yeah :pensive: Out of desperation, a few days ago, I had a thought so I calculated how much Iā€™ll need to read daily if I want to reach it in a couple months. It was some 45 pages per day. Needless to say, I acted as if I didnā€™t have the thought in the first place :joy:

I could manage that pace if I didnā€™t have a job, friends, family, and other interests.

(Also I still need to finish volume 2 and 3 and catch up with yā€™all)

The temptation was strong, I have to be honestā€¦ @Naphthalene can probably pull it off :eyes:

My average was 50~60 per day when I was really motivated to read last year :thinking: I spend much more time watching YouTube and whatnot this days though. Soā€¦ not impossible, it would just require motivation. That I do not have.

I have infinite motivation but no time at all, and Iā€™m still far from being an advanced reader. Iā€™m afraid of losing this motivation when I reach that stage :thinking:
But I guess thatā€™s better than the inverse. I feel like Iā€™m making progress by sheer willpower and motivation, Iā€™m pretty sure it would have been hell without it
