Core decks vs extensive reading

I understand the part about fields, but I don't see anything explaning how to set up the rest of the Anki deck properly. The question I asked is specific enough - do I need to choose a specific note type?  All I want is to be through with this and study for the rest of the day, yet here I am trying to understand and set up this mess for hours.

I can't remember if note type was a factor or not. Anyway mine is Japanese example_sentences, though I think that may be because another addon required that example_sentences part. Are you getting an error pop up when you hit the import key? The deck you want to import the note into needs to be opened, you can't do it from the decks overview page or it will tell you that you need to open a deck first. I sometimes would have to close and restart both Anki and Firefox when I would have issues before, though it's been a while since I've had to do that. Also somewhat related to that, if Anki had crashed on me for whatever reason Rikaisama wouldn't work again until I restarted my computer.

I believe this is the most important part you need to get right before it will work so I'll show my settings:



I also remember sometimes having to add a new note just to make sure I had Anki set to the right deck (note type) before importing would work. For me it has to look like this:



I can't remember if the clipboard and save setting in Rikaisama had to be filled in before it worked but I have the same information in there as I have in the Anki tab.

It's been so long since I set this all up it's hard to remember everything, but I can at least say once it's up and running you won't regret having spent the time to get it working.
