How did you feel when you completed N4 learning?

Hello there, I'm currently somewhat past N5 level, hoping to get to N4 level in the next few months. I'm just looking for some motivation and insight for those who have reached or passed N4. Were you able to read basic manga like Yotsuba comfortably/enjoyably? Were you able to watch basic anime like Pokemon without subs? I'm looking for any reference for N4 level, as currently at N5 I'm not really at a point where I can enjoy Yotsuba or Pokemon yet, but I'd really like to be at that level, and I want to know how long it will be. Thank you for any insight as it is really helpful to me.
