Goals & Plans 2025 + Review 2024

Wasn’t originally gonna make an update till next month, but I have a new, significant goal related to Yurihime.

In-progress:

  1. Read 1 issue of Yurihime magazine backlog per month (started in August, with vol 1 Summer 2005). Progress
  2. Read all of the physical books I own - Current: 48% - I’m reading 5 books/month to make this happen. Progress
  3. Get comfortable with L27+ fantasy/sci-fi manga - no direct progress, but have been reading more fantasy LNs + doing SRS for a lot of fantasy anime. Have recently read some L25-26 fantasy manga
  4. Read 薬屋のひとりごと | L37 and 裏世界ピクニック | L33 - no additional progress
  5. Complete 1 route of Fate/Stay Night - some progress, but gotten distracted by 月姫 remake, and now Hollow Ataraxia remake
  6. Watch Fate/Zero | L39 - I’ve done SRS for Fate/Stay Night (DEEN) and Unlimited Bladeworks anime. Fate/Zero has a jpdb deck as well. So maybe in the next months or two
  7. Read Japanese books and papers on history of yuri, shoujo, and/or Class S - I have one I started reading
  8. Finish flowers visual novel

Fate/Stay Night was originally “read all of”, but Fate/Stay Night is incredibly long. So I’ll just aim for Saber route

Completed

  1. Finish 42 Light novels

Dropped

Dropped
  1. Translate more book reviews into JP
  2. Speak along at speed to things I’m watching/reading (though sometimes I try that for fun)
  3. Read a lot of Class S lit - I discovered that most Class S was published in the magazines, but not book form. I’m reading more of 吉屋信子’s books when I’m in the mood though
  4. Read a lot of 1970s-80s yuri - I’ll get around eventually, but not rn
  5. Read a lot of Year 24 Group works - I’ll get around eventually
  6. Watch more L34+ anime - finished all of 薬屋のひとりごと S2. Dropped b/c I don’t think this is particularly beneficial, since it’s too far above my comfort zone
