It’s been a while since I’ve last posted here and after the challenge ended no less. 
But I feel I should document completing my first ever novel (in Japanese) 世界から猫が消えたなら.
It feels good because I’ve started a lot of novels and only get as far as the first few chapters before starting a new book. The only thing I’ve consistently read and finished are manga and 夜カフェ, but the latter is very child friendly including furigana and a very easy to read writing style, so despite it being a book, it’s just a step up from a manga for me.
With 世界から猫が消えたなら, I read the physical copy so lookups took a little extra effort, and furigana isn’t very common. The nice thing was the language of the book is very accessible to readers of all ages I think. Some technical words were a pain to look up but a lot of kanji was repetitive so it actually worked out as a good learning opportunity to pick up new kanji and vocab.
Since this is an update post, I might as well add I finished the following manga/books during this challenge as well.

絶叫学級 4
D・N・ANGEL 第5巻
