Some shitty localiser that likes to brag about how much they butcher each script they work on, and also thinks that localisers deserve as much if not more credit than the original developers and writers too.
I've only got like half the hiragana checked on the itazuraneko site and already I'm feeling like my brain is stuffed to the brim. I haven't even touched vocab or grammar yet. I don't think I can do this bros. The lines don't make any sense. I don't think I can remember any of this shit. My motivation is failing fast.
I know it's a long process, I just hate feeling like I'm spinning my wheels. I should have hiragana down by now, or at least that's where I feel I should be. I know I should go at my own pace and not worry stress out over how long it takes, but I keep judging myself and I end up just not wanting to do any more because I know I'm just going to punish myself for not doing as well as I want. I guess I'm just the typical kid who was praised too much for being somewhat smart and then never learned to knuckle down and work hard when things stopped being so easy.
There are definitely some frick yous in there, dakuten and handakuten feel like that at the start but they soon make sense. But then there's some bullshit katakana like シツ or how the katakana レ looks like the hiragana し, or even things that define our english sense like how エ looks like an i but is pronounced ee. but once you get it you get it.
It gets easier once you start casually reading the funny scribbles you recognize in the wild, and piecing together the ones you've forgotten from context.
I just can't memorize it. I can't make the connection between the symbol and the sound. I think I know it and then I see it again and my mind is blank. The information just isn't there anymore. And the next day it might as well have all been blank. I have to have some sort of memory disorder I think.
Ignore the turbogays who study for three hours a day every day. When I was learning the kana, I printed them out on a sheet and hung it up in my bathroom. I read it every time I took a shit/piss. Learned within a a few weeks with literally zero effort on my part at all.
Honestly though dude, kanji is so, so, so much worse than this than I'm not really sure what to tell you. good luck I guess.
with either it will take years and youll still never be good at it, both wastes of time. much better to go into something more niche like 3d modeling
You get better at things by putting them to use and practicing so whichever one you'll use regularly is the one to focus on. Speaking from personal experience you can learn basic moonrunes and start reading simple manga like Yotsuba&! in just a few months if you study everyday.

Reading a VN and understand like a third of each sentence but I'm getting stuck on long sentences
Should I keep going with it and rely on yomichan kanji +grammar look up or start over?
Definitely look for something easier, you aren't at that level yet. Play Pokemon or something.
In my experience, one of the biggest impediments to parsing long sentences is a lack of vocabulary. Even if you have Yomichan/Rikaichamp, every time you need to mouse over a word and translate it back to English, you interrupt the flow of your reading; the context of the sentence up to that point is swapped out of your memory.
Grind Anki for a bit, come back to that same VN, and you'll no doubt be better off.
I looked up the video and she wants to chikan the Producer so yeah, I'd expect a lot of butt groping and fingering until she takes him back to her place and rims him.

pro tip though - even "easy" LN aren't "easy" and you're still gonna need to soak in the waters of literary-ish writing and vocab no matter how you have studied up to this point.

NTA but I'm sold
GJ-bu if you like slice of life moe stuff. For the most part, the vocabulary is easy, but it'll still force you to learn colloquialisms/contractions/parsing dialogue/etc. There's a lot of repetitive sentences too which is good for someone learning. By the time you finish you'll never forget how to say "preparing black tea", "hair that looks like ears", "rolled her chair over to the kotatsu", and so much more.
It's easier to learn simplified first and learn traditional later than the other way around. Although there are programs and browser plugins that will automatically convert one to the other.

Although, thinking about it, the first one wouldn't use に, but を, since セクハラする is a 他動詞, so only されたい makes sense for 受け身.
Guys, why do japanese people talk like children? It's so weird.
Instead of saying "This is cute!" they say "CUUUUTE!". Instead of saying "Damn, this is hot!", they say "HOT HOT HOTHOT!". They literally talk like children all the time and can't form a fricking sentence for shit.
Different language, dude. Can't draw parallels to most other languages in the exact way that they talk and use certain words. Stuff that sounds completely normal in Japanese can and does sound absolutely moronic when translated directly to English. This is why there is a spectrum and range of possible interpretations for shit, because capturing the feeling and intention vs the word-for-word meaning is a world of difference.
Exclamations are a thing in English, anon. >"Damn, this is hot!"
Not "God damn this object"? Just "damn". Because everyone knows what you mean when you say that. Just like everyone in Japan knows what's meant when they say "cute".
You guys didn't get it, I'm know japanese is very contextual and all that shit, but the language itself is childlike.
Next time you watch anything with japanese people talking just put some 2 year old saying stupid shit too and you will get it, I just don't know how to explain it better because I have below 100 IQ.

Guys, why do Anglos talk like children? Instead of using boku/ore/watashi/atashi, they just say "I" for everything like a baby. And there's only like one honorific, what the hell? They just adress people by name most of the time like they have zero awareness of anything at all, god damn.
What the hell are you talking about? You hear simple "可愛いな" all the time. And I'm guessing you're referring to someone saying "あっちっち"? Why do you have these specific examples in your head and allow yourself to pretend that that's the only way any one says those things in Japanese? How much have you actually listened to?
"可愛いな" is like what an adult would say TO A CHILD! Dude, how can't you see it? Link me, right now, any fricking conversation between 2 japanese people and I will guarantee they will fricking talk like toddlers that don't know what the frick is going on.
Because the language works that way. I don't know Japanese but since word structure is similar to Turkish (my native tongue) I can intuitively understand why.
For example, it would be weird if you said "Bu çok sıcak!" instead of "çok sıcak!", or if you said "Bu çok şirin" instead of "şirin!" or "çok şirin!". It's technically correct, but it sounds robotic and weird. You can infer the subject and it flows better that way.
But here's the catch, if you hear two businessmen talking, you can hear the formal and structured way they talk. I think you can perceive it more in interviews, it's like hearing someone read a tutorial on how to cook eggs when they talk.
Yes, being robotic isn't wrong per se. But if you are in an informal setting and speak like a machine translation you will receive weird looks.
You don't need to elaborate every single thing in a sentence because the language doesn't require it. It's that simple. I wish I could explain it more in depth but it's more about intuition than anything else, which you probably can't since your native tongue is English.
Your language needs to be SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) for it to make sense I think, or at least needs to be agglutinative. I wonder if Fins and Magyars have the same intuition.
The difference between formal Japanese and casual Japanese is huge. Take these two lines: >すまん >誠に申し訳御座いません
These both mean the exact same thing. They're used in the same context, 2 men are meeting up for any reason, and one is late so he apologises for being late. The difference is that the first one is used with your friend, and the second is used with your superior at work.

What an unusual thing for such an elegant girl to do. I bet she'd have the producer on his back with his legs over his head to do it too.
Most likely, she'd be doing all kinds of positions to find the right ass licking spot and then start going to town on his prostate for the whole day.

Why learn Japanese when you can learn Chinese? Everything ever made in Japanese has a Chinese fan translation already.
this but with french

It's easier to learn simplified first and learn traditional later than the other way around. Although there are programs and browser plugins that will automatically convert one to the other.

>"Damn, this is hot!"
Not "God damn this object"? Just "damn". Because everyone knows what you mean when you say that. Just like everyone in Japan knows what's meant when they say "cute".
Very few sounds in the language so they go for more simple structure
Guys, why do Anglos talk like children? Instead of using boku/ore/watashi/atashi, they just say "I" for everything like a baby. And there's only like one honorific, what the hell? They just adress people by name most of the time like they have zero awareness of anything at all, god damn.

My native tongue is actually portuguese, but it still doesn't help.
Maybe if I actually learn the language this feeling will go away, but I fear understanding more will just make me cringe.
Your language needs to be SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) for it to make sense I think, or at least needs to be agglutinative. I wonder if Fins and Magyars have the same intuition.

for me it's すまんこ
God, I wish they just used the second one. I swear it's not me, it's their fault.
But then how would you know who the superior is in every interaction?
The one being sucked, obviously.
