I finished adding new words from 礁与浪的相逢 and I’m starting the 幻友绮旅 now!
I’ll try to work on one small segment per day, so that I can finish it by the time the Fontinalia Festival gets added to the DB. Oh and the next WQ will be voiced!!! That is insane!
If they decide to make all WQ of Snezhnaya voiced, I would be so happy, it would make playing the game in Chinese so much easier too, because right now WQ are the hardest content.
Just read a few pages today. I actually wanted to read a full chapter but I had no time and no energy anyway. I did read a few pages to stay in the story (because I haven’t touched the book during the weekend).
There’s something interesting I noticed while I was listening to my audiobook last night: it looks like weixin dushu automatically sets a 60-minute timer if the phone is on sleep. I don’t know if it’s really the case, but the timer was on even though I didn’t activate it myself.
To be honest, I’ve never really liked Alice, from the first moments she appeared in game to the Nod-Krai arc where she was more present… but now I’m starting to warming up to her because of Prune’s story.
Now I understand why this book has been ranked first on このミステリーがすごい!, ミステリが読みたい! and 週刊文春ミステリーベスト10,
The book was really great, and it’s right up my alley as police procedurals are my favourite sub-genre. I also liked that the story is not focused on the main police detective but on the case. The plot is really good, the case is very complex, elements that seemed unrelated at first turn out to be more important that they looked, the end is excellent, but most of all, it’s heavily focused on characters, their motives and how they’re dealing with the situations they’ve fallen into.
Finished! Last two chapters were very short.
I couldn’t sleep at all last night, so I listened to 失踪假日. I really love this story.
Also listening lying in bed was much easier than listening on-the-go or while doing other things. I felt like I understood everything!
I started The Resurrected, it looks very good, though the first episode was really depressing…
Ended up reading another chapter, the plot is incredibly good! 
There are two chapters left, I’m keeping them for tomorrow.
Finished chapter 5. I say it after every chapter, but wow this book is so so good!! This chapter was the best so far!

I saw 冲刷 twice in a similar context, things, past being washed away by the rain. It’s the best way to remember a word, and to understand how it’s used.
I finished 玛利亚的手指, which I loved, and started 失踪假日 which is also the longest.
I found it hard at first and couldn’t follow well, so I read the first pages in the book. The text is very easy (as everything I read by Otsuichi so far), but my listening is bad compared to my reading.
It’s interesting that just reading the beginning is enough to get me started. I know the context, setting, character names… and then I can just listen and understand pretty well.
Finished chapter 4, wow this book is really great. Best police procedural I’ve read in a while. This chapter in particular had decisive elements, it’s very suspenseful!
