I want to cultivate myself, but in japanese, I don't read much in my own language (actually I read in my whole life like 4/5 books lol an don't get me wrong, I like reading, but...) and I consider myself not intelligent because I lack vocab (I can't remember words, I'm constantly forgetting, yes in my own language) and I don't want the same to happen in japanese so I'm going to start reading intensively, I want it to become something that relaxes (like books are supposed to).
I also lack common common knowlegde.

Thanks!

What kind of advice do you need?

What do you want to achieve?
What do you mean by cultivating yourself, more specifically?
You lack common knowledge? May I ask what is the problem with that , or what do you want to change? Is it associated with this thread or j-blogs?

最近のアニメはなぜクソ面白くないですか？

クソ面白くねえアニメばっかりじゃねえか。見るものがない

もうクソ面白くないラノベを片っ端からアニメ化みたいなのやめろよ…

クソみたいな萌アニメを萌豚がマンセーするからアニメはダメになった。あと腐女子
純粋にアニメが好きな奴らは行き場を失った。今ではアニメ好き=萌豚みたいな図式になってしまった。クソ忌々しい

内容が無い作画アニメばっかりだな。
技術は進化しててもクリエーターが進化してない。

商品だからな、金すげーかかるし
そりゃ冒険して大外れだすより、無難なもの出し続けるわな
そうして業界がだんだん萎縮していく

不景気だから今売ることしか考えない
↓
萌アニメならなんでも萌萌言って喜ぶ豚どもに媚びる
↓
クソアニメだらけになる

今のアニメは全員イケメンもしくは全員かわいこちゃん
昔みたいにブサイクを何人かいれるってことはしないよな

なまじ「内容」というか「中身」というか「物語」というか
そういうのがあると、不平や不満や対立や抑圧やストレスがないとカタルシスに持って行けないだろ
そんな汚い部分はもう見飽きたとか疲れたとか思ってる奴には
萌えアニメのような最初から誰もいない何もない全部が全部自分自身にとって都合のいい
神様みたいに俯瞰的に眺めていられる箱庭みたいなアニメが精神的な退避場所としてちょうどいいんだよ

for the rest!

yeah I do it also.

How I read these articles is:

1) I read through and look up all the words.
2) I read until I can read the whole passage without rikaichan.
3) I read the passage until I can read it without rikaichan and understand everything.
4) I read along with textaloud's audio until I can read at the pace of the speed of textaloud's audio.

Very interesting and you can apply this to your japanese studies.

Hi, everyone.

Decided to post this here, as I do not think it's really necessary to create a new entry just for that matter.

this "Readability"-tool some people have discussed here... somehow it looks quite messy for my taste... Any advice how I could make those letters look slightly ... better? Maybe it's the font's fault or something?

Here is a screenshot excerpt of my fiction.
