Seeing how most of you appear to be fluent.

When reading i tend to just skim the text and just get the main information i need, though pay attention during info dumps and plot.
Is this bad practice?
I notice i might miss some stuff but its not too important i guess, i mean its kinda tiring paying attention to every word.

>> No.13908904

>>13908834
Well, that depends on how much do you care about actually knowing Japanese and fully enjoying the stuff you read.

If you feel like you can enjoy the VNs well enough just by using your method and don't particularly care about getting better at Japanese, then continue. (Same with the method some Fuwa heroes promote - learning some grammar and then reading everything with constant use of a dictionary for vocab.)

In my personal opinion both of those methods are bad. As for what you should do instead, I'd recommend you read something easier, which you can easily read fully without skimming. Of course I don't know what you're reading now, it's possible you're already at the easy stuff. If that's the case I'd say you need to clench your teeth and grind through the Japanese fully. It'll help you in the long run. Practice often, make logical steps in upping the difficulty of VNs you read and your reading pace will get better.

>> No.13908959

>>13908904
I don't have problem with grammar really just words, with almost everything i read.

I'm reading hanachirasu ( its not too hard but a few sentences i might have to read again) but then again might swap to some other Vns now and again, depends on my mood,

Most of the easier VNs are just daily life stuff with constant fanservice, unlike this which describes the battles pretty well and has an interesting protag.
Still i guess i might try some easier VNs more.
Thanks.

I'm doing something similiar. I'm studying grammar and practicing everyday, but I want to to read native stuff.

That's why I'm reading Aiyoku no Eustia and White Album 1. Both are pretty easy, but has a lot of vocab I'm unfamiliar with. That's why I have to use the dictionary parser a lot.

I'm feeling like I'm getting better though. I'm learning common words that I still haven't learned through Core 6k or Tobira and I'm not relying too much on translating stuff on my head.

Incorrect. It's not a valid reason that DI is shit. It's a reason why they didn't like it. There's a difference. The nuance is completely different. I can say: 'I *don't like* Muramasa because such and such a character has blonde hair, and I don't like that', and that is a valid thing to say. 'Muramasa is shit because such and such a character has blonde hair, and so it's simply bad' however is not valid and is aggressive in tone.

The reason people hate on moege as being shit is that moege is consuming the entire market, so there's less genre variation. Moeblob anime is also doing this. Chuunige isn't doing that.

Whether you like the genre or not, there's no feasible reason you can say that the genre itself is objectively bad. You can't label a genre like that because it's an abstract thing.

>>13909520

Again, not part of the market. We can dickwave about moege ruining the industry, in the sense that companies make more of it than games a theoretical /jp/sie enjoys. We can't really improve the industry, though, because like I said, we are NOT part of the market. They're not selling these to us. To import it, we basically have to pretend to be a Japanese person and use various import techniques. And even that's a risk, like how Doddler got arrested over loli. If the eroge industry opens to the western market like it's appearing to be doing now... then yeah, THEN you can complain about us not buying chuunige. Until then, you can keep quiet.

Because JP->ENG translations are bad by nature considering how different the grammar systems are. The way things are conveyed and described come out differently and some things have to be added or omitted for the translation to make sense. Particularly the more poetic sentences come out awkward and shitty. Also I just want to read Japanese.
