The day’s Dungeon Meshi chapter. Annoyingly both this and tomorrow’s chapters are talky chapters I think, which was/will be a huge pain in the ass.
Started 老女的少女ひなたちゃん 1 as a relaxed read since it was an ABBC that I missed. The granny talk combined with the preschooler talk is… a bit tricky for beginners, I would have thought… but it’s an enjoyable time.
Read a short 10-pager randomly from the net entitled 夕焼けは晴れ. Enjoyed it - and didn’t have to look up anything, which was a nice boost (though I did have to puzzle some stuff out)
I’m not the one you asked but maybe I can answer your question?
If you’re using desktop like me, there should be a vertical line to the right stating the number of posts you’ve read. Underneath that, there are two boxes, one with an arrow pointing left and the other with a bell. Click on the arrow and a text box will open at the bottom of the page. That is how you reply to the whole thread rather than a specific person.
When I wrote the above paragraph, I hadn’t read the whole thread. Immediately under your reply was other people answering your question. Well, I will still leave it because it took me a while to figure this one out. (I knew about the reply button at the end of the thread because it clearly said reply and I make it a point to read to the end of threads that I’m interested in.) This is for people who might be interested in making a new post at any point of the thread without having to scroll to the end.
43 days in a row before life got in the way, not bad. Certainly better than I expected. At least the doubled up chapters cover a few missed days here and there, I should still average at least a chapter a day.
On top of that I’ve been playing nier automata and super Mario RPG so I’d say the reading practice is well covered. (Those two are wildly different in level by the way, if you’re not confident with kanji the Mario is a great starter game)
Day 2. I read a Level 0 story about a chihuahua. I’m getting the general gist of the story and am not looking up any words. It’s scary and fun at the same time.
5 hours of playing Little Witch in the Woods (with a couple breaks to do reviews and get water and stretch). I lasted a lot longer before my brain went to mush. Lots of cool words this time, but it didn’t feel so bad. Looking up words like 木々 or 大工 is pretty quick.

Fell asleep before I could read yesterday… At least today I made an effort to sit down an read My goal was 80%, but the chapter ended on 79% so that was a good place to end c:
Also a word where the use case of both kanji seem to be solely this word: 矍鑠
Didn’t read a lot, I really need to get back to it regularly. I still did some progress on Satori Reader and read a few sentences of the Kanji Learner’s Course. Did some reviews on WK too, translated a few poems, read a few haiku today.
