I don't feel like I'm retaining any information beyond my most recent 30 pages but it's definitely getting easier/more enjoyable to read as I go along. What am I getting out of this experience? Unsure. But I'm determined to finish it within the week.

I don't think I'm enjoying this but it's a stockholm scenario at this point and I'm unwilling to give up. And it's only volume 1, god help me.

Almost at the halfway point now. Enjoying the quests, trudging through the larger battles. Not sure what exactly I'm getting out of this, but I'm reading it in paperback in bed at night, and I think it's putting me to sleep faster than not reading it, and that's good enough reason to continue. Maybe I'll be finished by the end of 2025.
