・SAO Progressive 1 (30% → 38%)
I finished the first part (+ intermission). Very engaging so far, defo much better storytelling than the anime. Point of view switched every chapter between Kirito and Asuna. Usually I don’t like it, but here it was done pretty well as it lets the reader know what they’re thinking/experiencing and to describe what the other character looks like, how they’re behaving, etc. Complementary, I guess one can call it. Well done in my opinion.
Look-ups has been okay too, surprisingly. With one hand I hold the book, with the other hand I take a potato chip and eat it search jisho on my laptop. Only one monster kanji gave me trouble today and had to search by radicals (殺戮の戮). Sometimes there’s furigana which is cool, sometimes there’s a gairago for furigana (usually gamer lingo) which has mostly been okay, but a tiny bit annoying when I want to search the Japanese word but don’t know the reading.
The plan was to read the first part of this book while waiting for the Saikawa & Moe book club to start up again on Saturday. I guess I’ll keep reading for now
