Finished 転生王女と天才令嬢の魔法革命 4 | L32 well ahead of the deck. Comprehension was good, except for attention issues. It probably would have been better to give it another day, but I was grumpy and wanted to move on.
Dropped that deck, and picked up マリア様がみてる 2 黄薔薇革命 | L29 - which is a much rougher starting point for me.

Right now I’m at 76.7% words and 92.1% coverage - so lots of work to do. I’ve been trying to figure out how not to get overwhelmed by opening too many new cards at once. Since I’m reading alongside (instead of pre-studying), the conclusion I’ve come to is “try to get to 95% coverage, and then just decide how much time I want to do reviews daily, regardless of remaining reviews”. Which is to say, I’m probably going to have too many reviews tomorrow 
I don’t really see a better way to do it though, since I’ll probably finish the book within the week anyway.
Update: I’m up to 77% known, 92.3% coverage, learning 305, 769 new words. So now I’ll definitely be drowning in reviews 
. I’m doing more than I normally would, cuz I didn’t get enough sleep last night, so reading takes more effort than normal.
While I’m not 100% sure, I think I’m fairly far ahead of where I am in the book at this point. So at least I won’t have to worry about that!
More importantly: I’m checking the translation this time around, and やっぱり it’s a humbling experience. It’s nice to have the reality check on comprehension and also be able to figure out what I’m not getting. I think this will prove very beneficial. Interestingly I actually find マリみて harder to comprehend than 転生王女 (despite the vocab being mostly easier), due to the ornate writing style. 転生王女 only really gets ornate when a character needs to be very formal. Otherwise the inner-monologues are pretty straightforward.
Otoh I’m doing well on lookups, 2-5 per pg (17 lines on tablet). Would be like 5-7 probably if it weren’t for the jpdb deck
町道いい the Tobira Study Group - Interest Check came up. So maybe I’ll actually get myself to do some Tobira study this time around.
