I have wanted to read White Album 2 since last year. Not only for the story but I figured it would help me with expanding vocab, grammar, different settings (as the game goes into the workplace at the latter part unlike the anime which only has the 1st half). I finally got a copy, had to buy it in Akihabara even. But right now it's just so hard to read. I have to look up words so often and some of the words are even rare.
Of course my priority is to learn Japanese, not just pass an exam. I don't even have any use for N1 certificate other than goal setting. But I'm just surprised at how far the difficulty of vocab in the game is from the other VNs I've read with characters the same age range of high schoolers.
But I'm already at this point right? I shouldn't back down and go to a lower level difficulty VN that I have no interest in? It's very tedious to read but it's worth all the effort right?
(Honestly, even though I sucked at N2 reading, 27/60, because of answering the questions, I didn't have the problem of not being able to read the passages in the exam. Meanwhile in White Album 2 I'm had to look up the dictionary so often.)
