Hi,
3 months ago I failed an N2 mock exam by 1%. Since then I've been practicing for N1.
I've been playing a lot of video games in Japanese, which is great but I still struggle with books and literature. I find myself often lost but it is easier when I understand the context of a dialogue. I can generally understand day to day conversations, greetings, actions, intents, feelings, that sort of thing, but anything related to politics, specialized terminology, or motivations, or sequences of events like in newspapers, I find it difficult to keep up even if I know all the vocabulary.
Kenji Miyazawa has always been one of my favorite people and one of the reasons I wanted to learn Japanese in the first place. I recall one text I came across had furigana in it, because he writes a lot of children's literature. However, I still find myself having trouble reading his work.
Do you think his work is readable for an aspiring N2/N1?
