Not sure if this is for you? Check out the Nomination Post and read the first chapter for free on bookwalker - remember that your fellow book club members and the vocab sheet will be here to help you out though!
I hope you guys are all excited! Going over the chapters the later ones are a bit short, maybe to short for this book club. One way to combat this would be to combine chapter 3 & 4 into one week, let me know what you all think!
Regarding the schedule: I’ve heard that the first chapter is on the tough side, so maybe it’s better to split the first chapter and combine the later chapters?
This is the first book club on the forum that I’m planning to join, and it’s perfect because I just picked the book up on my own when I came across it in the shop a few weeks ago. I’m not totally sure what my level is compared to everyone else though, because I haven’t done the book club thing here before. But I’m excited to try it out, looking forward to reading along with everyone!
I haven’t looked into the Manga yet but just looking at the page numbers for the chapters I would also lean towards splitting chapter 1 and combining chapters 3+4, so that we get a bit of a ramp-up and then stay at the same level (page-wise) basically.
When I read it myself I split up the first two chapters in two, then read the rest as normal. That said that worked out just as well as other volumes, taking about a week.
At the very least I would split the first chapter, leave the second and third chapter as is and you could combine the last two if needed.
I also considered that, but what I’d like about a “heavier” previous week and a “lighter” last week is that you stay at the same workload during the “core” and then you can get the last week completed quickly and are able to get the accomplishment of completion easy and early (basically like going downhill all the time), whereas when the penultimate week is lighter, then the last week might feel like “the last mountain at the end of the race”, if that makes sense…
Looking at all the arguments I have changed the schedule have a slower start (chapter 1 is split), then we ramp up and finish with the small chapter 5. Since the author really does not seem to like page numbers I have added the “key visual” for the seperation between week 1 & 2, I hope that helps.
I’m going to be a glutton for punishment and take part in this. I’ve really enjoyed the anime so far, being able to read through it would be quite nice.
I am very excited ! I started the anime and loved it (won’t be able to finish as it is not free on Crunchyroll…). So reading this will be a lot of fun
Definitely joining this one !!!
