I want to start reading more native material but at the time books feel too overwhelming. I used to watch anime when I was a teen but I haven't found anything I truly enjoyed ever since. Just like comics, as I grew older the sexism and weird attitude towards female characters became very off putting.
Without taking language into account, what I like to read on my spare time is biology books. Stuff like Nick Lane's The Vital Question. But with my current (N3-2) level, that type of book is too overwhelming – lots of niche technical words.
I think the closest to a Manga I've read and enjoyed was the graphic novel Nimona. The humor is not my type, but I liked the conclusion to the plot.
I like playing games like Youkai Watch and Pokemon, but not for the plot. My favorite show plot wise is Better Call Saul, I'm not into the subjects depicted in that show, but I'd like to find something with that sort of narrative structure. Any recommendations?
