Every Day Challenge Winter 2023 Review
ALRIGHT! Last day of the challenge! So hereβs my goals from the start of this challenge and my thoughts, views, ideas, and self-criticism of my performance for this seasons challenge.
Goals Completed for this Challenge 
- Focus on quality reading rather than quantity.
- Read harder books (Natively lvl 35-40)
Finish 3 or 4 books
Focus on quality reading rather than quantity.
So this was a point for me that I felt in previous challenges I was just rushing to finish. I think overall, I did achieve this goal. ιγγΏ12 was the only book I had finished during the challenge, but it was a good training run for stopping myself from reading just to finish and enjoy the story. I think ultimately when I moved to Re:Zero, I felt that I was less focused on getting to the end and more focused on enjoying my reading experience, which is ultimately why I dropped it and moved on to manga for a bit.
βBut WaniTsunami, look at all the manga you read in these two months!β
Yes, Internal Dialogue Guy, I did get into a habit of reading manga daily when I was searching for the next book to get my attention. While I did get a lot of manga reading done, I was enjoying the time I was reading and finishing by the end day was just kind of a bonus. I think I really needed that time to remember how much I enjoyed reading, because Re:Zero 16 was just too slow for me at the end of the day.
After I got into reading ε€γ―ηγζ©γγδΉε₯³ I found myself back and reading books again and the quality of my reading time rose sharply, but unfortunately with the sharp rise came an equally sharp fall, which I hope to get back to at a later challenge.
Read harder books (Natively lvl 35-40)
I achieved this with Re:Zero and ε€γ―ηγζ©γγδΉε₯³. Despite not finishing, I had gotten pretty deep into both progress wise, with Re:Zero at around 65% completion and ε€γ―ηγζ©γγδΉε₯³ around 47% completion.
Finish 3 or 4 books
The fact this is a green box with an βxβ in it feels very appropriate. If I could do it over again, I would have gotten rid of this goal, because it spit in the face of my first goal. I did finish a considerable amount of manga so I did technically achieve this, but I was speaking about books not comic books. Thatβs really all I got to say about that.
Looking Forward
I am pretty good about getting reading practice in every day. Itβs a habit I have had for a few years now, and I think with this challenge I need to set goals around completing a couple books and kind of do what I want on the side. I think if I set up my goals this way I can kind of change what it means to read every day for me. With the Advanced Book club picking εη³εη₯話倧系 being the next book, I want to finish that and possibly return to ε€γ―ηγζ©γγδΉε₯³. Those 2 books are on my Japanese reading bucket lists and I am hellbent on finishing them this year.
Overall I am pretty happy with my results. I read 16 manga and 1 light novel, and started Steins;Gate and Chainsaw Man Buddy Stories. I am gonna enjoy the March break and probably just do my thing. It was fun updating you guys daily about my progress and I am happy some of you looked forward to my posts, that motivated me a lot at the end even though I couldnβt get the 3-4 book goal reached. Thanks for watching my journey and canβt wait for the Spring 2023 challenge! See you there!
