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 :slight_smile:
  • 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 much more satisfying Natsuki POV this time! It’s nice to finally see some Kenji appreciation from her after everything that’s happened.

As more family members realize the damage being done in OZ is very real, I’m still a little bit bothered by the slightly lingering “but this is a game, right?” mindset from last week’s section. But after thinking about it more, it seems very likely that most adults in the story didn’t grow up with OZ and might feel pretty detached from it if their work and daily lives don’t directly involve the system. Plus, clearly (and understandably) communication lines aren’t 100% clear in this family…
