taiyousea’s reading challenge

July 3rd:
天気の子『小説』 (15 pages / end of prologue)
Listing this one in tandem with my listening challenge update for the day. I’ve been reading the 天気の子 novel along with the audiobook for my listening practice, but choosing not to make it my reading challenge material since it’s not really unimpeded reading. However, I wasn’t able to make it to the やがて君になる manga today, so I’m using what’s at hand.
This novel is about 5 Natively levels above my actual level, presenting a bit of a tough challenge mostly because there is no furigana, but I’m really liking the pace of the story so far and I’m extra excited to be reading my first Japanese novel. There is also quite a LOT of onomatopoeia which is something I haven’t yet touched on in my studies, but who am I if not overconfident in my ability to learn quickly. It is very scary to look at 308 pages with no furigana but I’m liking the story so far and I have motivation from the reward of a movie waiting after I complete it (¯▿¯)
