November 30th!
Another volume finished today - which is a nice way to end the challenge!
Today’s was the first volume of カードキャプターさくら - which is a fun achievement for me since Cardcaptor Sakura was what inspired me to want to learn Japanese when I was young.
End of challenge Summary: 100% 
Books Completed
- Witch Hat Atelier - Volume 4-5
- Full Metal Alchemist - Volume 2-3
- Shadows House - Volume 18
- Dungeon Meshi - Volume 1
- Teasing Master Takagi-san - Volume 20 Series Complete!
- Ruri Dragon - Volume 2
- The Promised Neverland - Volume 1
- Cardcaptor Sakura - Volume 1
Somehow I’ve managed to finish ten volumes during this challenge!
I’m really happy with myself for this, because honestly its been a rough few months for me, which has culminated in me quitting my job… again…
Thanks to everyone for the comradery, cheerleading and inspiration - having this challenge to motivate me, and keep me feeling like I’m progressing in something has been so helpful to me.
As always, I’ll still be here reading and posting during December! But for anybody who is taking a break, congrats for reaching the end of the challenge, and I hope to see you again in the New Year for the Winter Challenge

VN again today as always - today Grisaia on Switch.
And that’s 3 challenges finished and 8 months of reading every day. Mostly VNs but also a little novels and manga. VNs are my favorite medium for now though. So many VNs to read, so little time!

And that is challenge complete! I missed a couple days, but other than that it went well. I finished three volumes of manga and a children’s book. Though, I’d already read most of them before this challenge started.
Looking at my book list, I probably have read enough to finish more volumes, but it’s just split among all the different things XD. That’s how I prefer to read though, so it’s fine.

30th november 
some misc bits and pieces in jp, nothing extensive, but that’s okay. since i finished men at arms yesterday, i needed to start a new english book! so i picked the queens of innis lear by tessa gratton, which i think i picked up second hand somewhere but i can’t remember why? it’s a historical fantasy kind of book with a hefty dose of political maneuvering to go with it i think. it’s very long (568 pages in a pretty small font) so i might still be reading it by the time the next challenge rolls around 
and that’s it! idk about anyone else but this challenge flew by! i’ll do a round up post tomorrow but for now congratulations to everyone who took part and i’ll see you all again next time! tho i’ll still be lurking in here, ofc

Wuiii, finished the book in time for the end of November, nyohoho 
Also reached my goal of 10k novel pages in a year! 
This pace is crazy, I feel like I’m eating the books in this series like a hot knife cutting through butter. There’s just one volume left tho… I don’t want it to end TuT And at the same time very excited.
We’ve reached the end of the challenge, everyone 
お疲れ様でした! Hope to see you guys around in the next one as well (I’ll continue posting as always )

I know the feeling! The last volume is worth it, AND there’s a spin off series that looks promising (only one volume out so far, though)

Finishing off the challenge period with a long session of Ni No Kuni where I undertook the temple of trials and stopped a volcano from exploding (by throwing a very large rock in, which is some questionable geology)

Well, I’ll aim not to do another massive info dump like my last post for a while!
28/11 7 pages 魔女の宅急便 (finished chapter 9), 68 pages とんがり帽子のアトリエ (finished chapter 33, read chapters 33+34, finishing volume 6)
29/11 2 pages 魔女の宅急便
30/11 3 pages 妊娠のカレンダー, 16 pages 約束のネバーランド (finished volume 1), 6 pages 老女的少女ひなたちゃん
On 28th I got off the dive boat (which was a relief after being ill all week), and had quite a lot of reading time before (and on) my flights. That night my iPad died, which meant I couldn’t read for the travel the following day, and I was exhausted so managed only a token effort.
Yesterday went a bit better but I’m still very tired. Working later today so I’ll probably only manage a small amount.
I’ll keep posting in the off month as usual.

The challenge is already over. Time really flies by.
I didn’t even miss a day during this challenge just forgot to post on most days. During the time I didn’t post I played some Trails of Cold Steel 2 and Trails from Zero. For books I read a little bit Kono Suba and some essays from ベスト・エッセイ2021.
Thanks to Black Friday I got some new video games, which I will play in japanese. Talking about video games I am a little disappointed I got some more Legend of Heroes games and I am surprised that they are not that hard to play in japanese. People on the net claim that it is the hardest series to play in japanese.

Oh, December is not included? 
Oh well.
I’ve completed half and then died for the entirety of November, but now I can read again~
It was a cool challenge and was a lot of fun while I could participate

soggy’s challenge review
Fell off of posting every day because it got to be a bit too much, and I don’t actually need external motivation to read Japanese these days.
One win recently was that over the holiday this week I managed to keep daily Japanese reading; in the past this has been something I’ve struggled with during a change of routine.
Finished this challenge:
Totals:
L20-24 children’s novels: 168 pages
ふしぎ駄菓子屋 ２ - 20 pages
グースバンプス ２ - 118 pages
人狼サバイバル - 30 pages
L31 Japanese HP: 55 pages (61% → 74%)
I probably won’t post in December, but keep up the reading everyone!!
