Discussion ground rules

• Any spoilers, for the current chapters must be behind spoilers or detail curtains. When we get further in you don’t need to hide details that were revealed in previous chapters.
• Always mention where you are in the book when discussing, ideally by chapter so people reading different versions have a clear point of reference.
• Feel free to read ahead if it’s exciting! But please refrain from spoiling ahead of the appropriate week
• If you have a question about grammar, vocab, cultural things, etc - ask! That can be part of the discussion too and I’m sure some folks would be happy to help.
• Even if you don’t read the chapter(s) in time, you are still encouraged to post in the thread for that reading once you have finished it. I advise not reading ahead in the threads as you may see spoilers.

A few weeks ago, when the characters were first hearing about Love Machine’s impact on the real world, I kinda felt like it was really convenient how the family had one relative in each relevant, essential profession we heard about. That feeling’s back this week, in that most of the family seems to exist as resources for the tech and equipment they need rather than characters in their own right. No wonder their names are so hard to remember, like other readers have been saying… there’s barely any personality or feelings we can attach to these people. Even Kazuma more or less falls into this category, though we got a tiny snippet of backstory about him at least. That said, I’m still looking forward to seeing how they’re gonna fight this thing
