I saw this and was thinking, that's crazy, why would someone do that.
Then I remembered I'm in like the 8th arc or something of Arifureta. I read a few pages a year. It's the only book I have on my phone so whenever I'm at the mechanic or waiting at the dentist or something I get a few more pages down. Everything after volume 1 has just been "just gotta get to the end. just gotta get to the end." Been that way for at least like five years or more (on this one volume, I mean).
