same here! theyโ€™re a bit tricky (some archaisms, plus some dialect and old people speech, and a very sparse writing style) but well worth the effort, i had an excellent time reading them!

Started Vol 4 of Bluelock yesterday, read about 5 pages, and then another 40 today to complete the first two chapters of this volume. The first chapter had a big chunk of character back story so that had a fair bit of new vocabulary, but the second chapter felt nice and simple and was easy enough to get through.

Only managed to get through one page of the light novel, Iโ€™m struggling to focus on it for long periods of time, especially if anything else is going on around me. I think I need to try and find half an hour/hour to just sit down with it distraction free. Hopefully tomorrow.

Found half an hour this morning to sit down with the light novel and work through a few pages. So far the way itโ€™s written is fairly easy to understand, and thereโ€™s not a crazy amount of new vocab which is nice.

Another chapter down in the manga as well.

Some new words from todayโ€™s pages:

Wheee, got to read a bit. Energy level is getting back to normal. Nice, nice. I do wish I could read more though.

Spoiler thoughts

lmao, Rozemyne is not being scolded as much as usual in the replies from Ferdinand and it worries her. โ€œOhno, maybe he deems me a kid not worth scolding anymore? โ€ฆFrick, Iโ€™ll do exactly as he says from now on like a good kid, just please scold me!โ€
