Buy with ticket from what I understand to be a “ticket subscription”. This is what I used, because it seemed like the cheapest option. I think I bought a ticket subscription that gives me one ticket a month (by using this option), used it for this audiobook, and then immediately cancelled that subscription afterwards:
Buy normally (after clicking on プランを選択せずに作品を購入する):
There also seems to be a concept of “points”, but I didn’t get to use them. Maybe because I used the “ticket subscription” option, which was cheaper by default…
Thank you both, it seems to be indeed easier with the website than the app so I’ll just buy from there (or at least it has more buying options than the app, idk why…). I’ll try the ‘ticket subscription’ as well and see how that goes
Thanks! Been thinking about buying an audio book before and I’m curious which app is good to use. I didn’t know this audio version as I couldn’t find this one from Amazon. It’s so great to know the tips on buying in the cheaper way.
I imagine they’re all more or less the same, but sometimes books aren’t available on all platforms. I have Audible JP unlimited, personally, and think it’s great - both selection of audiobooks and app UI. (Also unlike Kindle unlimited, they don’t limit your quantity afaict)
Does the KR link in the OP (또다시 같은 꿈을 꾸었어 (노블판)) work for people? I tried clicking on it just now, so I could check the pg count, and it gave me a 404/This page doesn’t exist. Wondering if that’s b/c I’m not on KR natively?
That may be because there used to be two different version of the book over on Korean natively. Since the only difference between them was the cover, there were merged. It would explain the broken link.
That’s just the edition, it’s not necessary to include in the title.
(I checked when buying my Korean version, and there’s very little difference between the two editions - a slight size difference, probably page difference, and different extras that are included; bookmark vs postcard)
I spent a couple minutes wondering why I wasn’t finding the ending line in the ebook, until I realized that I’d been trying to look for the sentence from my other bookclub (ふしぎ駄菓子屋 銭天堂 1 | 이상한 과자 가게 전천당 1)
I’ll save my full thoughts for when I’ve completed this week’s reading, but I can already tell that so far this is the most difficult thing I’ve read in Korean. It’s not that the grammar structures themselves are super advanced, I know most of them, but the sentences are just too long so it takes me a while to make sense of them. There are also some combinations of grammar points that I’d never come across before, which makes the whole thing more difficult as well. Not to mention, some of the sentences are simply unexpected, so my brain tries to find alternate meanings, because surely the main character didn’t just think or say that, did she?
For example, I got stuck on “나는 히토미 선생님의 이 얼굴을 정말 좋아합니다. 다른 선생님들의 얼굴에 비해 거짓이 적다는 느낌이 드니까요.”
(at 4%) because I was certain that I was misunderstanding something. “This teacher’s face is beautiful, and saying that is less of a lie than saying it for other teachers” just wasn’t something that I even considered could be the correct meaning at first.
Also, kind of a stupid question, but what is the gender of this Hitomi teacher ? Since gender isn’t really mentionned, I only have the name to go off off, and my knowledge of Japanese names is not good enough to help in this case. Or it’s their last name, and we have no way of knowing that person’s gender right now
