Have you tried visual novels? I started the visual novel Island with the book club here, and I’m convinced that I have found the perfect medium for me. You can use tools to get the text from the novels into a web browser and then use Yomichan and similar tools to look up words. You can even connect the visual novel to Google Translate or Deepl and check your own translation against machine translations. I was level 6 when I started and level 11 now, and it’s OK. You do need fundamental grammar knowledge though, but that’s true for any game or other kind of media.
The visual novel book club is here (now voting for the next novel, but also links to previous novels)
The current visual novel from the club is ISLAND, which has me hooked on visual novels
