Reading HxH earlier arcs shouldn't be difficult for me now. Succession War is still not easy at all, but it's definitely doable with a vocab and grammar dictionary nearby. My reading speed, understanding of slang and contractions improved dramatically as well. My current goal is to reach 6000 vocab and finish N3 grammar, perhaps half of N2 before the next batch of chapters, so I can truly enjoy reading HxH kino finally in its original language.

Thank you Togashi for giving me ample time to truly appreciate your masterpiece.
