Did not read much for the last few days. I haven’t been sleeping well (warm bedroom, no AC), and after work I don’t have much energy left. I did read something from Satori Reader every day.

After neglecting LOOPERS for an entire week, I finally read 2.2k today! I’m now at 74.2k characters.

I’m not asleep, you’re asleep :sleeping:
This chapter is actually exciting, but if I keep dozing off 3 times in less than 15 min, there’s no chance of continuing reading.

Chapter 15 of とんがり帽子のアトリエ
I had one of those fun moments today where I encountered something I had just been learning. I had a lesson where I practised ~ば〜のに with my tutor, and then immediately after that I spotted it in this chapter :slight_smile:

Finally finished Human Japanese Intermediate and probably have only a few episodes of 壁の穴 remaining. So from tomorrow I’ll start the Human Japanese Intermediate Extra exercises on Satori Reader and when I finish 壁の穴, I’ll start on another SR story.

Hi :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m currently level 10 on WaniKani, and I started reading daily at the end of July (reading for beginners), and since it had been a long time since the topic started, I was hesitant to sign up. But I noticed that @eggyolks signed up 2 days ago, so I took courage and decided to sign up too. NOTE: I’m sorry if some words or phrases are a little strange, because English is not my native language.

I’m currently reading:

  • NHK Web Easy (I started with 1 article per day, and I intend to reach 4).
  • tadoku (free online books).
  • satori reader (I started with free episodes and I intend to switch to the paid version after I finish tadoku and/or my level is around 15).
  • children’s books that I have at home.

Today I spent a few hours with Clannad on Switch. No idea about my character count - I just read and played with different routes and had fun with it.

Like always I forgot to post I started watching all cutscenes of the game Phantasy Star Online 2 in japanese. Yeah Phantasy Star is one of my favourite games series I hope they will release a new entry soon. When I started playing Phantasy Star Online 2 on the japanese server, I never would imagine that I would be able to understand it.

Just watching the cut scenes is not as interesting as playing the game but the japanese server has a ip block and I still didn’t manage to access it using a vpn. I will try it again once I have watched all cutscenes I have recorded, which is until the end of episode 3. Of course it would be better yet if I could set up my own private server but the people, who have one running don’t want to publish the files yet.

Anyway I already watched the whole story for episode 1 and half of episode 2. It’s much harder than you would expect lots of rare words and expressions used. Some of the characters and their way of talking drives me crazy.

omg, that was the best chapter I’ve read in a while.
mega spoilers ahead! it’s such a key moment for our main characters. We get to know a bit about Ferdinand’s background and the fact that he never realized what he means to Rozemyne, that she values him like family (and he knows she would do anything for her family). She’s super concerned about him regarding the recent development and she’s like “I’m gonna save you no matter what if you need it, my goal is to peacefully read books, I can’t read with good conscience if you’re unhappy, do you hear me?” He didn’t expect that at all, he thought she didn’t like him.

First post for August!

Started the month off OK then as predicted things went downhill due to work, and I basically ended up reading less and less.

Friday was surprisingly ok as I had to be on a plane for work for several hours so read a bit on the way home. Then yesterday was my first “good” day off in ages.

I’ve kept to the trend of staying up to date with about 5 manga, but I have multiple clubs that I’m lagging in. On the plus side, more and more of them have actually finished or are on hiatus, so I’m not falling further behind!

I decided to join the IBC with 変な家, slightly against my better judgement (since I’m back in 12 clubs now :frowning_with_open_mouth:), but have been pleasantly surprised. Managed to read the first 2 weeks’ reading yesterday.

The next week is looking ok work-wise. Plan is to keep up with my ongoing manga, catch up with ホリミヤ, finish Spy Family volume 13 this week, then work my way through the other “behind” clubs.
