I started this - it’s great, and the vocab is challenging, but not overly so.
Was debating whether it’s faster to read manga or watch a show (the latter feels easier though). So will try timing a chapter of セーラームーン, since 美少女戦士セーラームーンクリスタル | L28 adapts 1 chapter per episode. If it is actually faster, that might help me feel a bit less anxious about reading so many things at once. That said, I think anime has some benefits manga doesn’t have, and vice versa.

| L32 with the audiobook, after 1 year & 9 months! Glad that’s finally over! It’s a lot easier these days, though I found my word recognition varied, so I was glad I had the text in front of me. I did put it on 1.5x for most of it - so I may have missed small things. But overall I could follow at that speed. If I was more interested, I would have left it at 1x, but I just wanted it to be over.
I do really want to do more audiobooks for my April listening challenge… rather than doing SAO 6 (9084 Unique Words), I’ll do SAO 4 (7750 Unique Words).
I’ve started making myself write out vocab with unfamiliar kanji, when I get them wrong (only once per kanji)… at least yesterday, it seemed helpful. Curious to see if that holds up. Don’t care about neatness, but I do at least try to get the proportions right
It’s kind of fun, tho pen weight makes a difference, and there were a few I just skipped b/c I was tired by that point. I don’t think I’ll do it for familiar kanji words, but for unfamiliar ones, it’s a nice way of learning the kanji
