This is my first post in this thread!
Since I signed up for the JLPT N3 in July 2026, I figured it was finally time to start reading seriously, since I had basically never done any reading since I started learning Japanese last September.
So I started reading on March 17th, 2026, and yesterday I began reading コンビニ人間.
Here’s my ranking of the books I’ve read so far (top = favorite, bottom = least favorite):
- 奇譚ルーム (5/5: really easy to read and story is really nice)
- 雨の日も、晴れ男 (4/5: pretty funny story and easy to follow)
- 世界から猫が消えたなら (3/5: not much to say, I didn’t really enjoy it)
- また、同じ夢を見ていた (3/5: wasn’t a huge fan of it, I think it was overhyped for me)
As for コンビニ人間, I’m currently about a quarter of the way through it, and so far I’m having a really good time with it. We’ll see how it goes later on!
At the same time, I consume a lot of Japanese content on YouTube (mostly gaming videos) by generating subtitles myself, since YouTube subtitles are usually pretty bad.
Sorry for the huge post! I just wanted to share a little progress update from the past few weeks. I’ll try to post once or twice a week to share what I’m currently immersing with
