The Tanuki Kotatsu Reading Den
January 21st
ๆฐๆธๅคช้ฃ่จ progress: 03.25% // Volume I: 37.66%
The pace has quickened in this chapter and lots of things have started happening, which gets a bit awkward reading because I start to try and read faster but then I canโt read faster so I start stumbling over all the words and then have to go back and re-read the sentence.
