Although when I wrote that post, I was mostly thinking about my own experience from 10 years ago. I fell for the meme that you don’t need anything beyond JLPT N2 to understand the language. But when I actually started studying N2 and N1, I was surprised to find that a lot of it was stuff I came across daily in my reading. I really shouldn’t have avoided it at all.

Despite the data showing that the Japanese have been using more kanji than the "standard" (jouyou) ones in the last 20 years thanks to technological advancement
