Read the sequel too. They're just good fun, well written and not heavy reading

I won't recommend TWI to anyone even though I love it. It has consumed my reading life for the last 7 years and I'm still a few chapters behind. I cannot imagine trying to catch up now.

I started the audio books 2 ish years ago. I think I'm on book 15 over 1500+ HOURs of audio book. Its my soap lol.

And I hear they cut chapters from the audio books too. Its enjoyable but I hear you, it can be all consuming.

I started reading when volume 3 was new and managed to catch up mid volume 4. I was up to date for years but the chapters have gotten so long now it gets daunting to start. Sometimes a new arc starts and I'm not excited for it all so I put it off then when i finally read it I don't want it to end.

I've been listening to the audiobooks as a refresher on road trips/ at the gym but haven't made it very far maybe book 3. I'm not quite sure how the books line up with the volumes on the website but i know we are on volume 10 and the books are up to 16 or 17 behind by quite a few volumes.

I haven't noticed so far or would remember at this point but I think the only stuff cut would be some of the more experimental chapters that don't really add much to the overall story. I can't see any of the main chapters or most of the side stories being cut as they all eventally tie back together.
