Context: nhk web news is a website where you can read simplified Japanese news
For 7 months ive tried to consistently read news articles, short stories and things of that nature. Before I'd read about twice a week. About 5 months ago I started using nhk easy news as a resource for learning, and tried to read at least 2-3 articles a day. (I currently have a 80% score of my ratio to days read to haven't read)
Around a month ago my reading as improved so much that I could read 4 articles in a sitting and completely understand what was said. Normally id fatigue after 2-3 articles, and I've begun reading things im genuinely interested in like Yuri manga like [in the gardens of gehenna] and [Destroy It All And Love Me In Hell]. Although the language used ridiculously casual, has some words I didn't know and sometimes impossible for me to follow without help. It's been fun.
I'm just on the verge of n3

You can read that in just 7 months? Insane, bravo!
I’ve read every single article since almost a year. My recommendation for everyone: eventually try losing yomitan or other similar reading aids. It I painful, but really trying hard made the difference to me (over lazily checking most any word just in case).
best learning resource ever
