I have recently started playing a VN in Japanese. No furiganas. This isn't my first consumption of reading Japanese stories because I've read mangas before but they have furigana.
I'm currently N3 level and am studying for N2. Thankfully this VN only has new words here and there so I'm not always looking at a dictionary. They are highschool students so the conversations are more about home and school stuff. My question now is do I just list down all these new words I encounter? Some of these words do not even use jouyou kanji. There are a lot of onomatopoeias as well and expression words that aren't common. Or maybe they are common depending on the setting.
So what I'm doing right now is just adding them to an anki deck with every new word I encounter. I'm not studying them yet.
What do you guys do when you encounter new words? Do you list everything down? Or do you first decide on whether they are worth to study or not?
Example of words encountered
うろうろ
ずっしり
ひょいと
ぼんやり
漕ぐ
呟く
I currently have 102 words added to the deck and I'm just in the prologue part maybe. The routes haven't split yet.
(and if you need to know the VN is Yosuga no Sora)
