I was searching through the sub and came across a post asking about using japanese children’s books as reading practice. There was a reply saying that was a bad idea, but the poster didn’t elaborate. Can anyone explain why?
I’m 3/4 of the way through Genki I and I want to spend some of my free time reading rather than doing workbook exercises. What are some options for early beginners like myself, other than the graded readers?
Having some trouble with this line from the Final Fantasy IV script:

> この私が、無念を晴らす！
This seems like a strange line, but it would mean something like “I will clear up your regret?” This makes no sense to me.
What’s the reading of 等 in this? (5th line)

Is it just など ?
I just found a new word, 他人、 is it something mostly used in written or games? Or is it something you hear in daily conversation too? As I can’t find much about it online.
