It’s been a long journey here, but I’m very happy with my progress. This honestly started out as just something I undertook on a whim, but over time I learned to really get into it. I started reading about level 20, and I remember it was so impossibly difficult, it took me minutes to read a single page of manga. It’s a little bit demotivating to always look forward at the seemingly impassible mountain ahead, so it’s a bit therapeutic to take a moment to look back.

I still have issues reading more advanced texts, but it’s slowly been getting better. I don’t really have to look at “can I read this?” anymore, it’s shifted to “Is this something I want to read?” I’m looking forward to spending a bit less time on SRS, and more time on reading, which I have definitely been slacking on these past couple of months. Stat images below, as well as the obligatory Japanese version of this below (not a direct translation because I still kind of suck at writing).

長い旅だったが、満足です。正直、最初は「ワニカニを始めよう、かな」と衝動的に思ったら、結局無意識に真面目になっちゃった。レベル２０から日本語を読むことが始まって、凄く難しだった。漫画の一枚だけは何数分掛かっていた。いつも前の通じられないほど山を見てなので、今までの旅を見返して、本当に満足。

まだ完璧に日本語を読めないけど、段々上手くなると思います。連載を読もうと思ったときに、「これ、読めますか？」より「これ、読みたいか？」が頭の中に一番先の考えです。これからSRSじかんが減っちゃいましたかも知らないが、最近本をあまり読みなかったなので、もっと読みたい（本物の紙は最高けど少し大変、草）。ワニカニの皆様、聞いてくれて本当にありがとうございました。幸運へ

made this to convey exactly that feeling.

I climbed a ton, but the more i learn the more I become aware of how far I am from my actual goal.

your post however is very encouraging 🙂

Congratulations. I feel excited to be on the verge of being on level 20. Can’t imagine what a feeling it must be to reach level 60!
