๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š Read every day challenge - Winter 2023 โ˜ƒโ„

Dreams 1, 3, 5 and 7 are in Breaking into Japanese Literature as parallel Japanese and English texts with same-page glosses for all the vocab, if thereโ€™s anybody whoโ€™s interested but doesnโ€™t feel at a level where they can just dive into them yet. The bookโ€™s website also has audio of readings of them freely available if you want to listen along.

Oh, Iโ€™ve been doing badly this past week and somehow didnโ€™t even realise the end of the challenge had already passed :sweat_smile:

Embarrasingly late summary

Despite borderline (mentally) beating myself up for missing so many days per week, this has been my most consistent challenge so far! I managed to read 23/31 days in January and 19/28 days in February, at most missing 2 days in a row. Iโ€™m actually very surprised seeing the stats all together.

My progress throughout this challenge:

  • Started and completed the first three volumes of ใƒใƒ”ใƒใ‚น
  • Started and completed ใ‹ใŒใฟใฎๅญคๅŸŽ๏ผˆไธ‹๏ผ‰
  • Started ไธ–็•Œใ‹ใ‚‰็ŒซใŒๆถˆใˆใŸใชใ‚‰ and read to a quarter of the way through

Iโ€™d say thatโ€™s not bad!


And a little update for todayโ€™s reading!

So many words I have to look up, Iโ€™m learning a bunch from this book. Itโ€™s not super exciting so far, though tbh :durtle_durtverted_lvl1: Feels a bit like a childrenโ€™s book, but at the same time too many older kanji versions of words.

Iโ€ฆ can very much relate to that, so I guess Iโ€˜m in after the next sale or if @Myria decides she wants to start earlier :wink:

Hehe :grin: But it didnโ€™t win the Akutagawa prize which gives hope ^^

I only read the first two dreams, and while the second was harder, I could still manage quite okay.
Iโ€˜ll set up a thread for us but it might not work out before Wednesday (just as a heads up).

Oh very nice, thanks for letting me know! I will add the info to the thread.

I finished ๅŠ่ฝใก :tada: Loved it. A great read and a rollercoaster of emotions. Also the final twist was executed so well :heart_eyes: Definitely a harder read between the vocab and the grammar, easily one of the hardest books Iโ€™ve read this year, although ๆญฃๆฌฒ definitely edged in out in the portion I managed to read before I enswamped* myself in book clubs.

This is not a word, but I think it should be.

I somehow managed to finish ๆœฌๅฅฝใ ็ฌฌไธ€้ƒจ manga version on schedule!..mostly because I binged four volumes in a week and a half. That last one was a whopping 223 pages.

But I didnโ€™t even start ใ‚ณใƒณใƒ“ใƒ‹ไบบ้–“ so I guess Iโ€™m moving it to March. Hopefully by EOM theyโ€™ll have finally hired us a new manager and I can stop working all this unpaid overtime. Either way Iโ€™m taking vacation this Friday and everyone can deal haha. Iโ€™ll catch up on this reading on the plane. I havenโ€™t even had a chance to play more of P3P which Iโ€™m super bummed about.

Before I start ็ฌฌไบŒ้ƒจ Iโ€™m going to work thru some of the free volume 1 manga Iโ€™ve picked up over the years. I need a bit of a break.

I wanna finish Fire Punch before going back to Steins;Gate. Itโ€™s just really fun. If yโ€™all hadnโ€™t noticed I am not good at committing to things, but I am good at finding new things to do in Japanese every day so I canโ€™t complain too much. xD

Saezuru screaming

Ahhhhhh Yashiro admitting that all the other times he has sex are to try to rewrite what happened to him on his own terms but then Domeki showed him what sex could be! Is this progress?!?

Also, I liked the first arc of Saezuru but I havenโ€™t enjoyed the plot of this arc so much when I was reading in English, but now that Iโ€™m reading in japanese, I barely understand the underlying plot. Rip

KITEMORAIMASU :zoom eyes: like you have to ask me if you want me?!? Or ||I am picking you up for out meeting next chapter?|| or BOTH?

WOAH FIRST PAGE NUMBER IN THE WHOLE DAMN VOLUME! 136 (I read through 135). Thatโ€™s chapter 48. This volume seems to be chapters 44-50. Iโ€™ll double check the page count on amazon to get an estimate of chapter length and guestimate for previous days based on that.
