Read a chapter of 深夜食堂 and 两件红衬衫. My reading speed's definitely improved, and the amount I can read in a day without getting drained has definitely gone up too. I just got the next 7 volumes of 深夜食堂 delivered, so plenty to work on even after the challenge ends!
I'm reading traditional. I got the first volume in Taiwan, but ordered the rest on yesasia.com. I think a simplified version exists too though!

1 chapter of 深夜食堂. Never thought I'd be so excited to remember the word for "cod" (鱈魚 xue3yu2).
Snow fish! Haha
quack 嘎本Yes! My original mnemonic was a happy little cod sitting in a snowy ice fishing hole studying (another "xue" reminder) from a little fishy Chinese book. Studying 漢魚 maybe? 😄

1 more chapter of 深夜食堂 down. Lots of new words to look up in this one and re-reading sentences, I guess it's payback for yesterday when I got through a chapter without having to look anything up.

I love the Midnight Diner series! Are you reading traditional characters then or is it also translated to simplified?
