Surpisingly there does not seem to be smaller chapters within each sections like I am used to. Breaks in the story are just have an “*” and are not tallied up in the table of contents or anything.
Thank you! That’s a bit tough there’s no sub-chapter marks or anything; anyone have any experience finding good reading ending points with a book they haven’t read before with few chapter marks?
Working with what we have, let me set up some preliminary poll options:
Let’s check at least for preferred page counts
15 pgs/week (~18 weeks total)
20 pgs/week (~14 weeks total)
25 pgs/week (~11 weeks total)
30 pgs/week (~9 weeks total)
Some other division of pages (please explain what)
So, how far are we reading this week? 25 pages/week seems to be the most inclusive option. I had a quick look at around pg. 25, and at least at first glance there doesn’t seem to be a good stopping point, it’s kind of in the middle of a bunch of dialogue.
I guess we could take it easy the first week and stop at 芽衣は、強引にポジティブな方へと気持ちを切り替えた。[BREAK] そして、なにげなくポケットに手を突っ込むと、指先に硬いものが触れる。引っ張り出すと、それは小さな飴玉だった。, which seems to be a bit of a transition. No idea what page that is for the physical version, but my kindle claims it’s on pg. 20.
Ah, thank you; I’m really sorry about dropping the ball with the schedule, guys; I’ve been all over the place lately.
We’ll go ahead and do 25 pgs/week, and I’ll take @Biblio’s suggested week breaks for the first couple of weeks. Thank you all for your patience! orz I’ll put up this initial schedule, then keep working on it so we have a full one later today or tomorrow.
Okay, I’ve got a full schedule up! Two of the week ending lines aren’t in any particularly easily-seeable place, so please keep note of that as we move through the book. Apologies if some of these end up being weird ending places. orz
