Haruhi doesn’t have either, but I requested it to be added.
Some books have some re-wording to make it more accessible, but it varies by book.

The level range is more of a guideline than a rule, since not all books have been graded (enough) to have an accurate Natively level. However the purpose of the club is to read easier material than the kinds of books being read in other book clubs, since quite a few people have mentioned being unable to participate due to the language difficulty being too high.
Ultimately I’m leaving it up to the individual’s discretion - if there’s a book you’re interested in that isn’t on Natively / has a temporary grading / is graded above L26, I’d suggest looking at a preview if there’s one available to gauge the language level. If it’s too difficult, it might be more suited to another book club.

Fair enough. Well then I’ll leave it up to anyone else if wants to nominate 鬼滅の刃.
Looks like there was only one user grading on it after all.

I’m not a part of this club, but just wanted to say…
There are a lot of unrestricted level clubs going on right now. This (along with the beginner LN club) are really the only ones that have any sort of guideline around level. I was hoping that there would be some beginner clubs formed on Natively and I was excited this one was forming.
Like you say, I think a lot of people are unable to participate in other clubs, so I think it’d be ok to disallow books outside the level range unless there’s strong reason to think the current level isn’t accurate.
Feel free to ignore all this, but I couldn’t help but comment

Taking chance that you are lurking in this thread
@brandon I think Haruhi book got refused back in the day, because there was the normal edition, and the editions handling is not in. Do you think there’s any chance to put that in, since some wording has been changed to lower the level and is not just adding furigana to it?
(I submitted a formal request, but not sure how that’s handled once it got a refusal)

I requested the Haruhi book, but when it was added, I got added the non-tsubasa version.
And I’m unable to find the rewritten for middle schoolers version on Natively.
Is this a bug or it will remain all in the same link until editions are implemented?

Is it rewritten or simply with furigana? Most tsubasa are simply furigana which is why we don’t normally add.
When editions drop, it will certainly clear this up a bit.

From wikipedia:
小学生向けに漢字にルビをつけて読みやすくし、一部表現を変えてある。
So some words have been changed, is not a simple just add furigana.
I think I put this on notes when requesting the book, but I also might have forgotten.

Summary - English
I thought I was all alone… I was actually a quadruplet!
I’m Miyabi Mifu.
I’m a sixth grader and for 12 years… I thought I was all alone, with no parents or relatives!
One day, I found out that I was a quadruplet ！！！！
Girls with exactly the same face and voice, Ichika, Nitori and April.
Each of us grew up alone in a different place, but now the four of us are going to live under one roof. However, life with only the four of us is very confusing!
And the differences in our upbringing have led to unexpected differences…?
They are all the same, but they are all different! The cute life of sisters is about to begin!

Reason(s) for nominating: First of all, the story sounds really cute! 
There’s also a lot that makes this a good choice for learners: it has full furigana (yay!); it’s the first of a 15-volume series (lots of material if you enjoy the first book); and audiobooks are available for the whole series!

I have been listening to those as they come out. The books are surprisingly not childish. They deal with some sad realities. It’s still for kids, don’t get me wrong, but some stuff really hit me in the feels.

I’ve read the first 15 volumes, and I very much enjoyed it. Lots of life lessons in this series. Highly recommended!

By the way, even short texts like that would be great as a review so that it’ll reach people who are looking at the book 
@bibliothecary, do you have any plans on how we’ll continue with the club? E.g. when would the club start, when will we vote etc.

ngl, I thought I had written a review. My brain remembers writing a review. I have the strong suspicion that I was thinking about writing one in my head and then never actually did. I have now rectified this.

Nice!
I kinda would’ve expected at least a 4/5 for entertainment after reading your review and what you said here. What does 3/5 mean to you?

It’s still a children’s book and if I remember correctly, book 1 is mainly set up of the overall storyline, which is pleasant enough but not really high entertainment.
My review is for the series as a whole. Some books were more interesting then others. 
But 3 is “I had a good time, but it’s nothing to write home about” kinda thing.
