November 5
I played 英雄伝説 碧の軌跡 left Crossbell and did some tasks outside of town like fighting monsters, searching for treasure chests, doing fishing duels and visiting locations. The game seems to have a little too much filler content imho. If people wonder all the other Legend of Heroes games I have in my backlog
英雄伝説 閃の軌跡III
英雄伝説 閃の軌跡IV
英雄伝説 創の軌跡
英雄伝説 黎の軌跡
英雄伝説 黎の軌跡II
I also did some karaoke which is hard my reading speed is still too slow for faster songs.

The next Akutagawa story is rather short, I started it thinking I’d be able to get to about the half way point, but I finished the whole thing!
It was a nice change of pace to have something light hearted to read.
饿殍：明末千里行 – end Ch.Haven’t bought Vol.12 yet, waiting for the club and promotion.
I have been able to read a few pages a day, so even if I am in not a great personal context, I end up being able to follow the challenge, just having missed 2 days.
I am proud to be able to be consistent, but I dont feel like I make a lot of progress yet. Maybe because the book (My love story) is a bit higher than my current level

I’m really glad I started doing grammar. I feel like it might indeed help me raise my chances at the exam.

・結界師の一輪華 6 (54% → 74%)
I dunno what I think about this series anymore. At least the books were short and easy to read.
・N1 practice test on bunpro
Got 88.6% in the vocab/grammar/reading section 
November 6
I read manga magazines and did a N1 mock test from Bunpro like
last time I got only four questions wrong in the reading part. Still the results were disappointing like always.
I saw the Chainsaw Man movie the other day, which prompted me to reread the Reze arc and watch it again the next night. I forgot how good this series is, now I’m continuing on into volume 7. I’ve read about 3/4 of the volume so far today, hoping to finish it before the motivation runs dry again
But you did well! Why this negative attitude if I may gently ask 
(you can also ignore if you want)
3/11 6 pages 蟲師 (finished week 7), 22 pages とんがり帽子のアトリエ (finished chapter 78, read next), 28 pages ヤマノススメ (finished volume)
4/11 7 pages 蟲師, 8 pages Spy Family
5/11 5 pages Spy Family
6/11 5 pages 蟲師
7/11 5 pages 蟲師 (finished week 8), 7 pages 老女的少女ひなたちゃん
8/11 5 pages ふたつのスピカ
9/11 31 pages ふたつのスピカ (finished mission 31, read next)
I did quite well on 3rd when I was travelling but pretty patchy since. Yesterday wasn’t bad. I’m going to slowly plow on and hopefully get on top of things!

i see the n1 prep has ramped up in the thread 
we’ve got this! 
spun the randomiser wheel again and it spat out a historical yokai-hunting BL-adjacent manga from 2005. sure, why not. inoffensive so far! bakumatsu book is proving slow and difficult and i’m not entirely sure why.

In da flow
It’s just that I already failed too many N1 mock tests. Somehow I don’t seem to improve that much, which is somehow frustrating. I should probably study more instead of playing games in japanese
but I forget to many things I study. Also doesn’t help that I am too lazy.
November 7
I played more 英雄伝説 碧の軌跡 doing more things outside of town I hope that I soon reach a point were the main story progresses. Doing all these random things is starting to get boring.
