Many good books have not been translated, so I try my best to read them while translating them on my Kindle.Read somehow even if you don't understandIf you keep doing that for a few years, you'll probably be able to understand it.
For those who are not good at English, it is recommended that you first read all the related books in Japanese and then switch to books in a foreign language.
