Currently playing through the new Chunsoft game, The Hundred Line, 最終防衛学園、and am able to understand pretty much everything (enough to be able to, play the entire game without lookups, if that was what I wanted to do). I'd say 65% of the text bubbles I understand all the words and grammar of 100%, with about 30% being understood even if I can't read or understand every single word. Very rarely do I pull out the phone camera for google translate.
I'm playing on the switch, and as mentioned have access to my phone. No direct link between the game or computer, which means any text mining software is out. I also use anki religiously.
How would yall recommend making the most out of a game like this? Or just visual novels in general? How often do you search up words? What kind of words do you search? Do you search them up even if you understand the meaning but are just missing the reading? Do you read text aloud? If so how much?
Don't need to answer every question. Just throwing out some topics to discuss so I can get some ideas. Thanks!
