I realize a lot of the readings on the N2 exam are the kind where to you need to analyze the authors opinion on something, usually excerpts of what might be op-eds or essays. This doesn't really resemble the novels I read nor the matter of fact NHK reporting I read. Does anyone have recommendations of where to find non-fiction that resembles the JLPT reading passages? I'm not really sure what to search for.
Some ideas I have
* Subscribe to the Asahi Shinbun through a VPN and read some of their passages (these maybe a little above the N2 level though)
* Read more books of essays, maybe something like ベストエッセイ２０２５
