・本好きの下剋上 22 (46.48% → 55.61%) | 19.8k characters (120492 / 216k char.)

I got to read more today than I have recently, but still felt like it wasn’t much. Maybe because it was spread between two sessions. One chapter before getting out of bed and one and a half in the evening. I really thought I could continue the pace of 1 book per week, but I doubt I’ll finish this book tomorrow. Doesn’t mean I can’t try tho :eyes: :fire:

Fate/stay night [Realta Nua] VN finished the ‘prologue’

I managed to salvage things somewhat with a long plane reading session. Still not even half as many pages as I read in July :disappointed_relieved:

At least I’m back to being somewhere where the sun wants to melt me (I already want to leave again) so I should have more time inside to read.

More VN reading on my Switch. Reading with minimal lookups and switching to English to check my understanding. It’s so much fun when I see vocab from the last couple of levels!

Today I finished chapter 7 of LOOPERS and read a bit more from Clannad.

August 19th (Monday) to August 23th (Friday):
Every day, I read 2 articles from NHK Easy and 2 episodes (sometimes more) of Satori Reader (beginner level). To improve my understanding, the episodes I studied in one day, I listen to again the next day.

August 24th (Saturday) and August 25th (Sunday):
Since there is no NHK Easy on Saturday and Sunday, I read 2 tadoku books, and several episodes of Satori.

August 25th!

Chapter 3 of 鋼の錬金術師 - it’s definitely too difficult for me, but I’ve wanted to read it for years so I’m going to hang it out with the club for as long as I can manage!

Today was a better day for reading. Felt like my eyes were cooperating again :eyes: :sparkles: Chasing line after line. Rather than pushing through one word at a time, stumbling, having to reread.

Total pages read this week: 70

A bit of 少女終末旅行, となりのロボット, and getting close to the end of 玉藻の恋! I also started あさがおと加瀬さん as something on the easier side. It’s really cute so far!

I’ve fallen behind a bit on logging my progress but I’ve been doing a bit… I have to get back into the habit of logging everyday because I noticed that I definitely do more when I do.

Mostly playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, started chapter 3 of FMA, slowly reading the last few chapters of Orange (maybe these being pretty much “bonus chapters” is what made me slow down quite a bit), some NHK news here and there…

  • Decent chunk of 逆転裁判, stole some evidence (LAWYERS. DO NOT. LOOK FOR THEIR OWN EVIDENNNNCEEEEE!!!), went to court, cross-examined a witness. Brain melted.

Just a nominal amount of reading yesterday as I had lots of boring stuff I had to do to prepare for today. From today my life should be returning to a normal routine, which hopefully includes plenty of reading! (although I am eyeing up playing more 黎の軌跡II now that I am able to again…). There’s also a physical copy of マスカレード・ホテル ready for me to start so that I can catch up with the book club…

Back home and back to reading Island on my PC, looking up everything. Not much time to read today so only 1500 characters.

I have to say that I’m glad that I get to read on Switch with minimal lookups sometimes, and to read on my PC with frequent lookup sometimes. Intensive and extensive reading. I need both! And I’m very happy that I get to study while reading something I really enjoy!

  • Another marathon session of 逆転裁判, finished questioning two witnesses this time. This really is quite a satisfying series for learning because you repeat dialogue a lot and look for contradictions… though I think this is the right level for me right now. (Apparently I’ve looked up 230 new words or so so far…)
  • One chapter of 甘々と稲妻4 as I was drifting off to sleep
