Hmm, it's been a month since the last update. Time sure flies!
I've caught up with Anki in all three languages and am now in the progress of getting habit of daily reviewing/adding back. Catching up with Korean was especially time consuming, reading full sentences in Korean still takes me quite some time. Despite that I found that my ability in Korean didn't really drop, which was a pleasant surprise. Couldn't say the same for Mandarin though. While I could still understand all the sentences in Core2k, I had forgotten a lot of the readings and tones. This week I finally finished the grammar sentences deck by Evita, which is a major milestone for me. I do have to check if there were any updates to the deck since I haven't updated mine in quite a while. 1852 grammar sentences with 89% mature is even more than I have in my Japanese grammar deck (1549, 100% mature). Haven't gotten around to NPCR1 or reviewing できる韓国語 yet, that will have to be done in the next couple of weeks-months.
Currently I'm just reading in Japanese while keeping up with Anki. I've for the first time read over 1000 book pages in a Tadoku round!
Instead of jumping between light novel series I've decided to just stick with one series until I get to the end/catch up with the releases. Started with volume 2 of 無職転生 at the end of December, and am now almost done with volume 5.
Now I'll paste my rough plans for the year that I wrote a couple of weeks ago:
