Hello and welcome to our newest mystery pick!
The book is divided into 13 chapters, each of which is divided into roundabout 4 subchapters. As the book is only 225 pages altogether, I decided to focus on the main chapters as this probably gives better breaks from week to week.
Here is a possible schedule with a slow ramp-up:

Week 1
Sept 2nd

Week 4
Sept 23rd
九 to 十一

Week 5

十二 to 十三

Which schedule do you prefer?
4 weeks (without ramp-up)
5 weeks (with ramp-up)
I’d like to go slower than these

I have a different idea altogether
For the “slower” / “faster” /“different” options, please explain your ideas

I own the paperback so if we get any other paperback joiners I can add the physical copy numbers (once a schedule is settled)

Thanks all for voting for the schedule! With a 100% success rate, 5 weeks is the clear winner. I’ve updated the main page accordingly.
@cat If you could tell me the start pages of the weeks (and the page number of the last page of the book) that would be great!

I was a bit confused by the chapters so I edited the format there to hopefully be more clear (to me ‘to’ means ‘not inclusive’). I also updated the page counts now that we have paperback numbers - they didn’t vary too much.

Thank you for the page numbers and the clarification! I always struggle with expressing ranges in a precise manner
I added your information to the OP and the Week 1 thread

I hope you’ve all settled in to the book at this point, because now we’ve reached cruising altitude, and this week brings us 60 pages

I’m definitely going to use it to speed through the rest of the book at 1.5x I’ll keep to the weeks mostly, but will finish a smidge early due to not wanting to bring the book on my trip.
