I’m at a level where I can read quite a lot- understand most novels, youtube videos, etc. But I still have tons of words and phrases I can’t actually “read” for example kanji words that I know the meaning of but don’t know how to pronounce, + I read pretty slowly.

I’ve been trying to immerse with gacha games and low key been really struggling. The story sections are fine, but what gets me are all the skill names and status effects and stats and end game content explanations. There’s also a ton of weird techno jargon specific to the game- Low key I barely understand wtf is going on when I’m playing wuthering waves in English lol it’s like 20x harder in Japanese. Zenless is a lot easier, but still a lot of gibberish in descriptions and whatnot.

So I can understand the general story and kind of guess my way through most things, but idk if this is helpful at all since text sections aren’t voiced and I have no way to check whether my understanding was correct or not. Not sure if I’m explaining this right.

Is this just not a good idea to begin with? Should I just stick with it or abandon ship for something else?
