That is also my impression… and I’m surprised it’s considered L32 (but with 1k gradings, it’s hard to argue). I’m not sure if I just got 7 of the easier pages. I do remember the sections you mentioned. The part I read earlier: they were in the woods, after the storm destroyed her tablets, and she was crying, and then she taught the boy how to write his name. Then the next chapter started with something about the coming of age ceremony.
The thing is I’m not really personally interested in 本好き as a story right now. I’m interested to see how dense the vocab gets, and how complex the sentences get, so I have some ideas of how it is relative to other series. Specifically what prompted this is recent discussions about level/difficulty in Home thread for SeaBed - informal Visual Novel Book Club or about マリア様がみてる 1 | L29 or just occasionally seeing things compared to it. Until earlier my impression was “harder than マリみて”, which it seems like @bbo also agreed with. But after earlier I’m not so sure.
So I’m hoping someone could either grab a snapshot of a hard section of book one or say “starts from around this sentence” - cuz otherwise it’s like I’m searching for a needle in a haystack. Worst case I can just force myself to read the next chapter.
Your guide is helpful tho if I do wanna dive back into it later. Thx for that
