Lazy guide is for:
- People who don't want to bother customizing their settings or knowing stuff technically
- For people who want an all-in-one source compared to other fully detailed guides but scattered tools
- You want an import everything and done
Here's how I mine: Mining Demo (demo is outdated format | format: Anki & Yomichan)
Anki(Features) Format: Bilingual, Monolingual (2-in-1 profile supports and adapts automatically in yomichan/anki/mining)
New to Japanese and want to immerse quickly? See Straightway to learn JP

- Anki (SRS flash card program)
- You need both my Anki and Yomichan profile - Yomichan (Japanese pop-up dictionary program)
- ShareX (for automated screenshot, audio recording and Manga OCR)
- Required for mining to anything I use - Textractor (To extract text from VNs)
- Clipboard Inserter (pastes the scanned text from VN)
- Read Light Novel on android with yomichan and mining

Why is X Missing?
The following are missing because I never used the tool therefore I don't have any lazy/laymann's term to make:
- Anime Mining
- Anime JP Subs
- Kindle Setup
- exSTATic
- Will probably update this to my guide after it expands

- Download Textractor 5.2.0 (Some versions are messed up, so I recommend to stick to this)
- To extract text from Visual Novels to be able to use yomichan on it
- (Optional) VN Texthooker on Phone; Mobile Setup is needed
- If you don't have 2nd monitor or want to full screen
- (Discussed in Clipboard Inserter) Texthooker Page
- Alternative Texthooker Page w/ Websocket (only for know-how)
- Open the
Textractor
folder >x86
(99% of the time x86 is better) >Textractor
- You can also create a shortcut of it or pin it to your taskbar
- You can also create a shortcut of it or pin it to your taskbar
- Open Textractor and check Extensions, if something is missing from my list, you can drag it from the folder into the extension window
- Open your Visual Novel then on your Textractor >
Attach to game
> Find your Visual Novel (sometimes it is named engine, not actual VN name e.g. SiglusEngine)- It should look like this after attaching
- It should look like this after attaching
- On your Visual Novel, play it so it can generate the text from the game, after 1-2 dialogues, check back on your Texthooker and find a suitable hooked text from the drop-down menu
- Some VNs is hard to hook, messed and/or missing text, on which case you need to manually find a hook(here's a video guide) or search the internet for one (e.g. Riddle Joker hookcode) then
add hook
>save hook
- Some VNs problem is the version itself, you'll be safe using JP only version rather than steam/multi-language versions
- When all text is present but there is unnecessary unwanted text, you need to use regex filter which is usually the 2nd tab of Textractor
- For regex you need some techy knowledge or search around for a specific VN
- Some VNs is hard to hook, messed and/or missing text, on which case you need to manually find a hook(here's a video guide) or search the internet for one (e.g. Riddle Joker hookcode) then
- If its working properly it should look like this:
- It is now texthooking, proceed to Clipboard Inserter to make use of the text and use yomichan on it

pip uninstall torch
twice then redo the step above and update to the latest if its after CUDA 11.7, if still failed, go here
- Two options to Process:
Specified Manga volume: Typemokuro F:\Manga\Saenai\Vol3
(Replace full directory, Saenai and volume #)
All Manga volumes: Typemokuro --parent_dir F:\Manga\Saenai
(Replace full directory, Saenai with your manga name)- Your vol1, 2, 3, etc. should be inside Saenai folder in ascending uniform named order
- Once finished, go to the directory, open the .html file, and then you can read (ocr folder is optional but recommended to keep)
- To read in your android just transfer the files and open the .html file using your Kiwi Browser

Requirements:
- PC running with Anki, Steam and Texthooker Page opened
- Phone running Steam Link
- Dual Monitor OR make an alt-tab macro (step 2)
NOTE: You DON'T NEED to have the VN to be on steam or it being a steam game, it is why we set it to Desktop mode in step 3 making it like Teamviewer, which means you can use this for other purpose too, not just VN.
- Open your Steam Settings >
Controller
>Desktop configuration
(you must have your steam link opened in your phone)
- Customize your M1-M8 with whatever keybinds you like for your mining or whatever like ShareX e.g. alt + shift + C
- Open Steam Link >
Settings
>Streaming
> 2nd page >Launch Mode
>Desktop
(to disable Big Picture)
- Use Steam link > shake your phone(if icon is not there) > open the top left icon >
Touch Controller
ENABLED >Layout Controls
> add your macros wherever, erase controller buttons as you won't need them
- Use Mouse Trackpad not direct cursor (or you can't switch monitor)
- Launch your VN
Make sure Big Picture is disabled and that you launch your VN out of steam or else, you'll have a problem with controller layout when the steam recognized it as a game
How to mine:
- Drag your mouse out of your screen to where your 2nd monitor is (or use alt tab macro)
- TAP your screen to switch monitor
- Add Yomichan word like usual
- Use the macros that you've set for screenshot/audio (ShareX)
- Macros on my Steam Link
- Yomichan on my phone
ShareX for easy screenshot using macro, assuming both your game and texthooker is on full screen in 2 monitors
Hotkey settings
>Task: Capture pre configured region
Capture
>Select Region
> Select your monitor where your VN is
My Yomichan settings so you don't go blind on smaller screen
- Download Texthooker Page then rename for this specific use only e.g.
TexthookerPhone.html
- My yomichan custom settings already has a
Phone (VN)
profile, all you need to follow is step 3 and 4 (unless you want to customize it)
- In PC yomichan settings >
Profile
>Configure Profiles...
>Duplicate
- Make sure the
Editing profile
is on the duplicated profile
- Make sure the
Configure Profile
>Edit conditions
>IF URL
>Matches RegExp
- Put your texthooker page location by copying URL (e.g. file:///E:/TexthookerPhone.html)
- In yomichan settings >
Position & Size
>Width
: 768,Height
: 468 >Scale
: 110% - Zoom in(
Ctrl + Scroll wheel
) the texthooker page into 150%
Yes you can combine your normal texthooker and 2nd(phone) texthooker, just make sure you refresh the page every time you switch between them, and pause the timer of the unused texthooker page

Quick tips before:
- Consistency and pay attention are the secret, no actual other cheat
- Don't compare yourself to others, don't give up, don't listen to quick success in x time
- Just do it, many others spend more time figuring out than actually doing, you will never be ready if you never do it
- Time/Number listed is not strict, even if it takes you x10 longer or lesser day/minimum of what I listed, its only average
- No, you are not stupid/too old, if you can learn your native, you can learn other language, even parrots learned
- Learn Kana; Hiragana(first) and Katakana(second)
- Do 15 new Kana/day
- Skip worksheets and long paragraphs details and go straight to the guide
- Just do the Kana Quiz each time you learn +5 kana and put a gap between reviews, e.g. 15mins/30mins/1hr/8hrs
- This should take at most, a week
- Download Anki and my Anki add-ons
- Extract the Anki add-ons and Paste it to
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Anki2
- Restart your Anki
- Extract the Anki add-ons and Paste it to
- Download (Modern) Core 2.3k Deck open it then copy this settings (Shift + Click your deck's 'option' to see this window)
- Tip: Just use
again (1)
orgood (spacebar or 3)
button when doing the deck so you don't have to think about if itseasy (2)
orhard (4)
- Tip: Just use
- Do the Core 2.3k deck, start with 10 new cards/day(30 max; don't overdo it) along with the grammar guide below;
- Kanji is here on the deck; learn vocab not isolated kanji is the motto
- Either Tae Kim Text Grammar Guide or Cure Dolly's Video Grammar Guide (First 30 videos only)
- No, you do not need to perfect the quizzes, you can even skip it
- What's important is digest the material properly or get a glimpse of it which you will look back on hundreds of times anyways
- Once you've finished grammar guide and at least done 1k-1.5k cards, you can now start mining and do actual immersion early on
- This should take 2-4 months depending on your effort to be able to start immersing
- While immersing you can quickly check grammar points from DoJG(Beginner) and Nihongokyoshi(Intermediate+)
- Read/watch what you like, but only up to medium difficulty, or 4-5/10 on jpdb, its going to be a real pain at first, but do it
- Go to Lazy Mining Guide I made for easy setup of latest mining tools for whatever media
- Mining - is the act of creating cards from media you immerse on like VN/LN, my tools provide a single-click mining
P.S. A very dumb down version hence, it lacks info, just do it along the way and if you have questions you can ask me Xelieu#8158 :) or discord immersion server
P.P.S. No bullshit textbooks, subscriptions or being stuck for years studying thinking you are not ready enough, because you will never be if you don't start immersing

(This is entirely my opinion)
Note: Whenever you are making these changes, please observe for a few weeks before tweaking for more
Mining (These are mostly beginners' pointers)
- Make sure you only mine i+1 aka only 1 unknown kanji in the vocab or in the sentence it came from, that it should all makes sense but that 1 unknown
- Try avoiding rare words/very specific vocab words(e.g. fantasy settings, if you know you won't read it again)
- Usually, you can rep with just yomichan in the very common vocabs, try avoiding mining that, unless it took you ages and you still confuse it
Anki Settings
- If you're already using my settings, you can also try microstep modified v2 or microstep modified v1
- Shift + Click 'options' on your deck to get this window
- Lapse, make your leech threshold down into 4-6 and suspend card instead of tag only
- Use micro steps, my microstep modified v2 has it, it eases recognizing new cards
- (Worse case scenario) Decrease your new cards, usually by 3-5 then observe for a few weeks
General
- Custom Study > Review forgotten cards > 1 day only
- I'd recommend doing your anki first thing in the morning, then doing this at night
- It's good as it only takes less than 5 minutes since there's no step
- You are actually honest; if you forgot, you forgot, it will be better in long term
Anki Settings to touch if above fails
- Change New Cards > Starting Ease decrease to 30-50% each time then observe
- Change Reviews > Interval Modifier by 10% plus or minus(lowest 90%) depending on your retention
Anki Custom Algorithm: FSRS (I'm still experimenting myself - so your own risk)
- Make sure you have at least 3-6 months of stable anki data as this algorithm analyses your memory
- Creator mentions a difference of 12.6% compared to threshold and 18.1% against anki
- Its a little bit techy so here's a full guide
Anki Settings full explanation and add-ons: AnimeCards Site and Micro Steps Guide for full explanation.
- I'd recommend getting straight rewards and AJT Mortician(good for shortening time) if you didn't get my Anki Add-Ons
- My microstep modified v2 is a modified version of microstep modified v1 and this (original) from Micro Steps Guide
- My settings or Animecards settings works best if you are naturally good at memorizing, but if you're here, it probably didn't work
Note: The settings matter less the further you go in Japanese as you'll get used to it/know a lot to build upon from

- To use other Sheets go to
View
>Hidden Sheets
- You can also hide any sheet to look clean as long as you don't delete them
- Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons > Bulk Sheet Manager (Good for bulk hiding/unhiding sheets)
- For existing users updating to 2035 sheet, there is 2 ways to update:
- I recommend just copy pasting your data like this by copying the updated sheet, and replacing all the months with yours
- (This will take a LOT of time) OR copy and replace
Overall
,Graph Tracker
,Formula
andTemplate
Sheets (View > Hidden Sheets) and make 2023-2035 sheets of each month e.g. Jun-2024 (Format: Mon-YEAR)
- You can update it yourself after the latest year by just duplicating
Template
sheet(on Hidden Sheets), into 12 months of that year, e.g. Jan-2023 (make sure its 3 letter per month with capital on the first letter, Mon-YYYY), then update formula inOverall
andGraph Tracker
sheet by adding the additional year on top of previous year- Google Sheet limit is currently 200, the Immersion Data Spreadsheet is currently at 184 of up to year 2035

- 0:23 {sentence} with purple colored highlight
- 2:10 Hoverable kanjis (thanks to @Marv#5144 for idea)
- Colored purple kanji IN sentence for previous cards that doesn't have underlined yomi pasted (thanks to marv's script)
- 0:52 NSFW auto-tag to blur images (thanks to marv, also marv modified shareX screenshot hotkey from My Mining Setup to put a NSFW tag note)
- If vocab is furigana; automatically show sentence as hint on the front
- Pitch accent graph auto adapts to light or dark mode
- Sort by word Frequency, see usage for more info
- Cleaner format that removes things like〘v5m・vt〙or →さばを読む
- Light and Dark Mode supported
- Mobile view supported
- The rest of the features above and;
- If {Selected-Text} has text(the one where you highlight then mine), It will show on top of the 1st glossary
- If 1st glossary(monolingual dict) is empty; 2nd is shown, if empty, 3rd is shown and so on (6 dicts backup total)
- Dropdown field is Shinmeikei and JMDict(for english) for supplemental info which is clickable and is always available
You need my Yomichan profile for anki to adapt with both bilingual/monolingual mining
Yomichan Features
- Light and Dark Mode using Yomichan Custom CSS with Mobile support
- Handlebar to support both Bilingual and Monolingual for Anki Format
- Supports 4 profiles: Monolingual | Bilingual | Kiwi for Phone (LN & Manga) | Phone (VN)
- Text Replacement Patterns for more accurate text scanning
- Already edited the miscellaneous settings to cater for Japanese learning
- Connects to my Anki Setup
To switch to my Anki format from your existing deck, its easy if you already have the AnimeCards, just literally transfer it, I only added new fields, not change. As for other decks, just try to match all the fields with my deck, and it should also be cool.
