Halfway through the chapter titled "I'll Help You Take a Look."

I enjoy this book more and more, although a bit surprised it has taken me this long to read it, as I usually finish Asian translated fiction much faster than this, but I digress.

At the beginning of the chapter titled "The Writing Seminars Start."

This chapter is intriguing to me, because Yeongju had, in a previous chapter, interviewed the author leading the writing seminars, during a book talk. She reluctantly asked, the author reluctantly accepted the offer, and we shall see what happens.

At the beginning of the chapter titled "The Feeling of Being Accepted."

At the present time, at the beginning of the chapter titled "I Wanted to Say No."

I cannot help but be intrigued.

At the beginning of "You Look Terrible. What's Wrong?"

Personally, I'm finding this book to be slow-paced. I do not know if that puts me in the majority, or the minority, but I will say this book is definitely giving me a lot of information about each of the main characters, as well as the minor ones.

At the beginning of the chapter titled "How Similar are You to Your Writing?"

At the beginning of the chapter titled "Harmony and Dissonance."

For whatever reason or reasons, I'm finding this book rather slow-paced. However, I know someone who was involved in the publication of this book, so it is possible I am savoring it very slowly, so as to discuss it with her.

At the beginning of the chapter titled "All Books are Equal."

I usually finish these kinds of books (Asian translated fiction) faster than usual, but with every page, I find there is so much depth to this novel, and it seems as though every character has a rich, and sometimes tumultuous "origin story," that I find myself savoring each page as much as possible.

At the beginning of the chapter titled "Occasionally, a Good Person."

We learned a little more about both Yeongju and Minjun, too.

A little more than halfway through the chapter titled "Buttons without Holes."
