Summary - Japanese

“終わった世界”で二人の旅が始まる――。

その境遇から「魔女」と呼ばれてきた少女・南戸由貴の環境は、高校へ進学しても変わらず、暗い日々が続いていた――続くはずだった。入学式の翌日、世界は終わった。街にあふれた生気のない人型の怪物・屍人にによって、人類は終末をもたらされた。
それから一ヵ月。由貴は事件から行方不明となった父親の遺した“魔術”と使い魔の力によって生き延びていた。
ある日のこと、生活用品の補充のため屍人が溢れる街へと繰り出した帰り道、由貴は銃声を耳にする。自分の暮らす街に助けたいと思える人間はいない。そう考える由貴だったが、かつて、一人だけ、中学時代に仲良くなった少女がいた。転校した彼女のことを思い出し、奮起し助けるために銃声の方へ由貴が向かった先で出会ったのは、まさに転校したその少女・榊帆乃夏だった――。
帆乃夏の目的のため、由貴は協力することにしたのだが……。

Summary - English

(Deepl)
Two people’s journey begins in the “world that has ended.

Yuki Nando, a girl who has been called a “witch” because of her circumstances, was still in the same dark environment even after entering high school, and her days continued to be dark - as they should have been. The day after the entrance ceremony, the world ended. The end of humanity was brought about by the lifeless humanoid monsters, or “wights,” that flooded the city.
One month later. Yuki survived the incident thanks to the power of “magic” left behind by her father, who had gone missing since the incident, and the power of a messenger demon.
One day, on his way home from a town full of corpses to replenish his supplies, Yuki hears a gunshot. There is no one in his town that he would want to help. Yuki thinks so, but there was once a girl he befriended in junior high school. Remembering that girl who had moved to a new school, Yuki heads toward the gunfire to help her, but what he encounters is the very same girl, Honoka Sakaki, who had moved to a new school.
For Honoka’s purpose, Yuki decides to cooperate with her. …

In case my poll choices look kinda weird to anyone… it’s cuz I just read it (as text + audio) like 2 months ago. So I won’t be reading along per se, but I will follow along to participate in discussion, and/or help answer any questions.

By the way, when you split chapters, could you maybe make sure that the split happens at the end of a paragraph? It makes it easier to search for and to remember where to stop reading for the week, and the end of a paragraph is usually a good stopping point too. I think even if it makes weeks a bit more uneven it’s much preferable.

I’ll do my best! Thankfully I’ve already read the book and it has a lot of numbered subsections for each chapter - so there’s a lot of natural stopping points, in the first place :slight_smile:

Let the reading begin! Week 1 is now :slight_smile:

I added the schedule for the rest of the book to the OP. There’s a few weeks where, in order to find a natural stopping point I went slightly above 20 pgs

  • Week 8 - 24 pgs (23 if you subtract the picture page)
  • Week 11 - 24 pgs
  • Week 12 - 22 pgs

Hopefully that won’t be an issue at that point. It’s tricky with ch 4, b/c there’s no divided sections, unlike previous chapters

The end percent for week 1 here is listed as 10.2 but on the weekly thread it’s 6%
I assume different calculation methods? Like my personal reader counts characters read by percentage so it doesn’t count illustrations into the percentage, and it’s roughly equal to 6 percent. It’d be better if both versions of the percentage matched though to avoid confusion.

I meant to update the percentage on the chapter thread sorry. The ones in the home table are based on physical page count. The 6% was grabbed from the Kindle version, which is 231 pgs instead of 235.

I think I’ll redo this table to use the Kindle values though, since that’s probably more useful, as physical book readers don’t really need percentages.

Thx for pointing that out. I’m comment again when it’s fixed

Ok I updated the percentages, based on what the Kindle percentages are, and will keep keep the threads consistent with that. Hopefully that will line up w/ other ereaders well enough.


Added ending lines for the weeks that don’t end on a section break. Assuming we don’t need them for the ones that do, but I can add them if needed

Week 2 thread is up

Week 3 is up

I’m considering switching to a single-thread approach for weeks 4-12 (or even starting this week). This way I would just update the thread with the reading details for each week, rather than creating a bunch of separate threads. I’d still post links to the specific comments where each new week starts, in the table in the OP, so it’s easy to find your place.

Would you be up for switching to single thread?
  • Yes
  • I’d prefer not to
  • No opinion

To be honest I find the approach to make multi threads in general too chaotic, in my ideal world, all book clubs would be single thread :sweat_smile:

When you have enough participation, it’d be way too chaotic with a single thread, but we rarely have book clubs that well attended. :sweat_smile:

Opposite for me, but with small participants it seems like the more optional format. And single thread makes it a lot easier on the thread creator, plus less forum clutter

So far only また、同じ夢を見ていた - which would have been like 600+ replies in a single thread :sob:

Anyway everyone voted in favor or neutral, so I’ll switch it to single thread starting this week

It’s the exact opposite for me if there is any discussion/questions going on :sweat_smile:

I thought 本好き also had a lot of chatter, although maybe not compared to また夢…

本好き was the regular LN club, so I have no idea. Taking a glance, it looks like it also would have been chaotic, at least in the beginning

I just counted :wolf: 人狼サバイバル 1 絶体絶命! 伯爵の人狼ゲーム :face_with_monocle: - and it would’ve at least been 225 replies so far, with a few weeks still going! I’m pretty proud of our low participant high participation book club, even if some of our members are potentially werewolves.

I think it could’ve worked in one thread, but would be much less inviting to anyone joining late/catching up.

Esp with a mystery it would have been so rough to keep who knows what when in thread straight. Multiple threads are pretty much necessary in there imo.
