Back home and back on my computer today. That means VNs with texthooking. My absolute favorite way to read these days! Today’s VN: Christmas Tina. Of course, now during Christmas! A tale of a Chinese young man and a Japanese young woman, forced to live together, with no common language. Confusion and frustrations ensue. Perfect for Christmas chaos.

Book reading today too - 人狼サバイバル 1 on Kindle. Just a couple of pages. A little is better than nothing!
デスノート - Chapter 3
Again, reading it took like 2,5 hours. There was one page which I managed to read completely on my own without look-ups which made me very happy
Too bad it doesn’t happen too often though
But I’ll get there one day (hopefully).
Also, despite the fact that I’m only three chapters in, I feel like i’ll never forget the word 心臓麻痺 for the rest of my life lol

Got to read a bit more today than recent days.
Also shocked by Magnus Carlsen withdrawing from the tournament (World Chess Championship).
I don’t think that much about Vol.1 (though not bad), but there is an ongoing club for Vol.2, and after buying… the volume looks interesting.
Stop at the club’s current week.
(MC) decided to start studying JP, then suddenly want to see the cat.
イジらないで、長瀞さん Vol.7 actually spread over 3-4 days, but I don’t want to track, more 下ネタ, some people may not like. Vol.8 is just today.
Just how long is a
chapter, I wonder. I try to look up everything, as much as I can tolerate, but still don’t understand many things. (Unlike
, tbh.)
JoJo Part 2 Vol 6 p 41-43
These days I’m doing a lot more chores than I ever expected but it should help make my life easier in the future.

人狼サバイバル 1 on Kindle today too. I only understand 60-70% of what I’m reading, but the more I read the easier it gets. It will be fun to re-read this in a year and see if I understand more then!
JoJo Part 7 vol 7 (ch32) p71-89
This chapter is refreshing as far as your average shonen goes. Our protagonist is giving a good reality check as opposed to blind faith that everything will work out. It was turning into a lecture though so I decided sleep would be more emotionally gratifying lol

Was following Nijisanji EX Gamers 24h relay stream on youtube before I fell asleep and forgot to post. First time I saw the word ようつべ = YouTube. Saw it on twitter, I was so confused at first. Usually it is ユーチューブ, right. Haha
Back on topic, this book is mysterious
In a good way. The chapters are short. Usually I’m not good at following a story when it jumps between different viewpoints or timelines, but I feel like I’ve become better at pushing through / going on. In addition, each chapter being short makes it easier to “just one more chapter”.
I wonder if this book perhaps is a bit hard for the IBC? Just a feeling I had. After a certain threshold it becomes hard for me to judge what content is easy or difficult when you know most of the grammar and looking up vocab is second nature at this point. For example, reading Bocchi the Rock is no problem for me, it’s simply a matter of sitting down to get the reading done. I haven’t read many 4koma manga, but I was surprised by how little resistance it was to my reading experience despite all the talk about them being tougher to read because of the denseness. In that regard, Detective Conan is way worse. More like a novel with some extra images, haha.
(For reference, I’ve read the 4koma Urara Meirochou vol. 1 and that was hard because of no furigana and tons of unusual vocab. Then it becomes a pain to do lookups.)
Such a difference to what my update post looks like when I’m not halfasleep
いいね
