I selected that I already knew some Japanese because I can read kana and am roughly N5/N4 level. Many of the UI elements are in Japanese, but I don't know what those words mean. The game will ask you for words that have not been introduced. The controls are clunky, including switching between keyboards. Often, it wasn't clear what I was supposed to do. Even though I was answering most of the questions correctly, I was defeated by monsters roughly 1 hour into the game. Sorry, I am not going to struggle through this. I have better ways to study.

User Reviews
I'm just getting started with the game. I do like it. It has some issues I hope get worked out. I would consider myself better than a beginner but less than advanced. When I ran into hearing は pronounced as ha instead of wa, it bugged me. But I already knew better. A beginner might get lost with that. The IME keyboard needs a little love. Please developers, you've got a great thing going here, just subtle tweaks to make it more streamlined would be great! ** EDIT (8/21/2025) The keyboard has been updated with a better IME input setting. It now allows me to type out the word, see it in hiragana, then hit space to switch it to kanji, and populate it the text boxes correctly. No more just clicking random kanji without really knowing much about them. THANK YOU!!!! I've been studying Japanese for almost two years. My kanji is pretty good for most words. It's nice to see my studying has paid off in some places :)
