So true! Web version has no dark mode :baka: I remember someone mentioned they had a workaround by making a script which inverted the colors on the reader page. They never shared the script, so I donโ€™t know how effective or helpful it was for the eyes.

Yeah! And often I find reading out loud for a few lines or a page or two is just enough to gather focus and properly kickstart the reading session and then continue silently as well.

Iโ€™ve noticed a trend that my life gets busy in the afternoons because I try to get all my chores/life events happen/etc. Maybe this is the push I need to prioritize reading first thing in the day.

Today Iโ€™m going to build some houses to increase the size of the local village. I have to gather sticks, mud, and rocks. Iโ€™ll probably find some creatures on the way to fill out my encyclopedia too.

Also I finally learned how to make the rats angry. 3 down, 13 to goโ€ฆ

Total pages read this week: 228

First week done! Yay! \o/
I started out this week by working through chapters 10-11 of ใกใ„ใ•ใชๆฃฎใฎใ‚ชใ‚ชใ‚ซใƒŸใกใ‚ƒใ‚“ 2 and stoped mid way through ch 12. I picked up ใ‚ˆใคใฐใจ2 from a resale shop during this week and finished it today! I also worked a little bit on reading the section of ็މ่—ปใฎๆ‹ for ABBC this week, but Iโ€™ve ran out of steam.

Next week Iโ€™m hoping to finish the bookclub part of ็މ่—ปใฎๆ‹, start reading ใƒซใƒชใƒ‰ใƒฉใ‚ดใƒณ (I found a physical copy of it last week, which Iโ€™m very excited about!), and maybe read a bit more of ใ‚ชใ‚ชใ‚ซใƒŸใกใ‚ƒใ‚“ 2!

Only a short read today, since I started reading when I should already be sleeping.

Type Done today Progress
PMD DX Silver Trench, Western Cave, Meteor Cave Finished!

Made an attempt at Silver Trench but ran out of food and had to escape on floor 38. After beating Western Cave, I switched out my Absolโ€™s PP Pouch for Small Stomach and brought a ton of apples back to Silver Trench. Then beat Meteor Cave, and that was the last dungeon! Like I suspected, the final dungeons really werenโ€™t worth it considering what little dialogue they give you, but Iโ€™m so glad to be done now! Now back to Rune Factory.

according to jisho itโ€™s an archaic way of saying โ€˜but, even thoughโ€™ after the ba stem of a verb, so it might be that?

Got to the final boss of seasons, died, remembered you have to go through an annoying section every time you die here, so I will go pick up some supplies and come back to this fight later because it is very annoying. Never beat it as a kid and I used save states to beat it on the 3ds virtual console release when that came out, so if I beat him in japanese it will really be the first time Iโ€™ve done it as intended :melting_face:

Day 8!

Gotta run for an appointment so Iโ€™m splitting my reading up, but a very easy day of Chaos;Head as Iโ€™m mopping up some of the alternate choice alternatives on my way to ending 3.Couldnโ€™t directly time it due to interruptions but I think I probably hit 11k or more characters in an hour. Currently at 13.5k, planning to do more later and try to get more words mined because I still donโ€™t have enough.

On that note, doing Anki was pretty pleasant today
