I won’t say that I dread this reading each week, but it’s the hardest thing I’m reading right now, and the hardest thing I’ve read without audio before, so working hard to read and then have it be pages and pages of training that I’d much rather be montaged isn’t my favorite… I’m hoping we get some payoff for all this training soon 😊 ---

> [@shitsurei](#): > > that I’d much rather be montaged You’d love the manga 🥲 I think at this point we’re like near the end of manga chapter 3. edit: Okay, so I flipped a bit through the manga and tried to match the chapter titles of this light novel. I’m fairly sure that this whole light novel volume corresponds to the two manga volumes that are currently out, which means there’s plenty of action and interesting stuff ahead. So… don’t give up during the training arc, fellow readers! ---

I’ve been peeking at the manga after we read the sections. It’s been fun but I think I want something half way between the two. I’m nowhere near ready to give up on the LN yet, but if we make it to halfway and we’re still swinging a bo around in the village I might reconsider. 😂 ---

> [@shitsurei](#): > > I’ve been peeking at the manga after we read the sections. It’s been fun but I think I want something half way between the two. Yeah, the manga is very much the “the good bits only” version. I feel like it’s still well-paced though; but I guess my point of comparison are those “my power is the weakest, but I discover in the first chapter that it’s actually the strongest and now I’m an adventurer!!” isekais 😅 And on the other side I definitely don’t need to watch Nyango train in realtime. Something halfway through would be great! > [@shitsurei](#): > > I’m nowhere near ready to give up on the LN yet Glad to hear that!

I had a house guest over the weekend. I usually read Nyango first, but bc we had someone here I picked at my easier club reads while she was here and then realized today that tomorrow is the next section, so I had to finish it today 😂 ---

Oops, I did other important things ~~minecraft~~ last week and didn’t read any of my club readings. Just finished this section. Honestly, I found it super dull. 😂 Something something 20 percent magic goes into forty percent training with the magic training body magic strengthening by ten percent while running for twenty percent training the magic and using the magic at the same time as the other magic and swinging the pole while strengthening by thirty percent… ---

So I think I’m bowing out of the club here. I’ve noticed that I’m dragging my feet reading it because it’s pretty hard for me, and since I “should” be reading it, I’m ending up not reading anything… I wanted to push myself to try a harder book (and I’ve wanted to read this one for a while now), but I think for my Japanese goals it makes more sense to focus on some easier books and then try to come back to Nyango in 6-8 months… 😕 ---

Aww. Maybe try to finish the next week at last? There’s like zero training - maybe actually exciting content will make it feel like you “should” and more like you “want”? But of course I totally understand if not. ---

I’m about half way through this week, and that’s kinda what made me come to the decision. It’s way more interesting than last week, but I have 2-3 L27ish books that I’m also reading and I’m always just kinda wanting to read those instead… I feel like it just makes sense for me to get more reading done at a lower level than struggling with Nyango and then it taking my desire away to read anything else… ---

Aw, well - I have no other arguments for you to keep reading left then. Thanks for keeping us company so far, and sorry to see you go! > [@soggyboy](#): > > And then there were…. how many do we have reading? 3? 😂 Yup. And at least I definitely won’t stop with it until I finish this volume at least.
