I may have to sit this one out. It sounds interesting but it’s too tough for me right now, will have to come back to it later when I level up. ---

All right, I’ll be out of town starting tomorrow, so I’ll go ahead and call the pace poll at 1 chapter/week now, and will set up week 1’s thread early! Here’s what we’ll go with, let me know if you think it should be modified; weeks 8, 9, and 10 are potential candidates for modifications, depending on what people think. | Week | Chapter | From - To | Number of Pages | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 序 and 1 | 5 - 21 | 16 | | 2 | 2 | 22 - 38 | 16 | | 3 | 3 | 39 - 66 | 27 | | 4 | 4 | 67 - 93 | 26 | | 5 | 5 | 94 - 127 | 33 | | 6 | 6 | 128 -161 | 33 | | 7 | 7 | 162 - 194 | 32 | | 8 | 8 | 195 - 232 | 37 | | 9 | 9 | 233 - 269 | 36 | | 10 | 10 | 270 - 310 | 40 | | 11 | Final Chapter and あとがき | 311 - 327 | 15 | And since it seems we’ll only be having Japanese readers, I’ll keep the threads in this section of the forums for now. ---

Btw, in case anyone else is considering buying the physical book in the future: it’s larger, heavier, and has a thicker, stiffer cover than your typical light novel. I find it a bit cumbersome to read from, personally… not as convenient as a standard LN, or US paperback of the same size. ---

I guess that must be what happened… It didn’t say that anywhere tho. Even on cdjapan there’s two covers, but neither of them specifies the difference ([one](https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEODAI-161026) and [two](https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-317469)). That’s unfortunate, cuz I really would have preferred the version you have The paper is thicker too (SAO 315 pgs, NHK 269 pgs): ![PXL_20240409_125115853](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/d/d35bc1984b8d6cf7b9959b782b2c517face81418.jpeg) ![PXL_20240409_125332417](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/b/b9b521b6aa1c0904cbafca2b09b9f659bd6b9ced.jpeg) ---

> [@暁のルナ](#): > > The paper is thicker too (SAO 315 pgs, NHK 269 pgs): Then don’t mistakenly use the page numbers to know where to stop, or you will read further ahead 😅 When I created the page count thing I used the paperback version I have. Thankfully for now we are going for chapter numbers, so unless we split chapters down the line, it should be fine. ---

Ohhh that never occurred to me - glad you mentioned. On the bright side, it means “less” pages per week (not actually less text ofc, but my ch 2 ends on p 34 instead of 38). I’ll probly try to sell or gift this copy when we’re done then Here’s the hardcover pgs, in case it’s useful for anyone: | Chapter | pgs | | --- | --- | | 序 and 1 | 5 - 20 | | 2 | 21 - 34 | | 3 | 35 - 58 | | 4 | 59 - 80 | | 5 | 81 - 107 | | 6 | 108 - 135 | | 7 | 136 - 162 | | 8 | 163 - 193 | | 9 | 194 - 224 | | 10 | 225 - 258 | | 11 and あとがき | 259 - 269 | ちなみに I like your obi better too… mine came with the grey one that’s in this picture: ![51HcgST0psL.SX300](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/08156b35d2eb15e32ca804cf53d6c48403143e20.jpeg) ---
