New square ! I finally finished https://learnnatively.com/book/149eae7d79/ . I started it a whiiiile back, but I got stuck about 1/3 of the way through. After starting with a bang, it got really slow, I was getting bored and as I was reading multiple books, it ended up being left unattended for way too long. Fortunately, the pace picked up again maybe around 2/3 of the book, and wow, does it hit harder and harder as it draws to an end. All that referencing and comparing to solving math/physics problems was brilliant and so satisfying (having a background in STEM probably had something to do with it). I had such a hard time with the Japanese proper nouns though (people and locations). I finally got used to Korean names just to get hit with Japanese ones reading translation works lol.
Next up, catching up with the sci-fi book club https://learnnatively.com/book/94eff4251e/ . And once I do, I’ll probably start 얼음나무 숲 first to take a full break from translations for a bit.
