I started the book as soon as it arrived in the mail. I've poured over every chapter 2x to try and really crack this nut and id say it's been worth it. Even if you weren't easily confused like i am it's worth going slow and analyzing

I keep imagining Willem Dafoe playing Joesph. I think it's a character either would take to: an old man so obsessed with their religion they've shut out any familial emotions or relations. In a way he's the scariest member of the family of sociopaths. He's like the wild hateful ignorantly obsessed too-old-to-change nut winding up everyone's paranoia and fear. He scared hell so deeply in them they went crazy.

End of Book 2: The Proof. Not as punishing or dispassionate as Book 1, the story is more structured and has long form events. The sense of time is still skewed sometimes it jumps weeks, months, or even years without telling. Part of me wonders what part of this book inspired Mother 3

First book, The Notebook, finished. The book is cruel and dispassionate. Never referring to anyone by name except Harelip, which also isn't a name but the only real "nickname" too. Everyone is a profession or relation. No familiarity. It dispenses cruel news in a matter-of-fact way. No emotion. The boys, Lucas and Claus, who have grown up in the midst of war have learned to totally tune out violence and depravity.

1.2 million accounts. 100,000 active users both for the Japanese server. Because of the expansion more players were active, make sense. So roughly there's 30,000 players logged in. I think there's a typo cause it probably is supposed to say 30,000 more not in general. Nitpicky sure but i had to reread a couple times and that's what it said.
