Week 1 completed!
I know the question of difficulty came up and my personal, subjective opinion is that this probably falls somewhere around a Natively 33 based on what I’ve read so far. A decent scattering of unusual words, but they seem to always get furigana the first time they’re shown and the writing style is straightforward narration. Additionally, so far most of the unusual words are either specific to books (makes sense for the topic!), kanji for commonly kana words like 茄子, or are colors. Maybe it will advance in difficulty, maybe or won’t, but I have full faith the ABC readers can handle it.
Plot wise I’m itching to read on. I feel like we stopped just as things are about to get really interesting! Is Mashiro a book incarnate? Does she live in the books? Why is she wearing the same uniform as Mifuyu? Does she just look like whoever sees her? So many questions! Also is a supernatural being stealing the books? And why?
