had opened the same paper three times this week and never made it much past page 6.
It wasn’t even completely outside my field. I just kept hitting the methods section, rereading the same paragraph, then realizing I’d absorbed basically none of it.
was digging around FMHY last night and clicked on this Paper2Gal thing because the idea of turning a paper into a visual novel sounded kind of ridiculous.
honestly the character part felt a little goofy at first. also caught a couple explanations where I wanted to check the actual paragraph again because the wording felt more confident than the paper itself.
but I did actually keep reading.
instead of staring at another 15-ish pages of PDF, I’d go through a bit of the dialogue, jump back to the paper when something sounded important, then keep going. still had the PDF open the entire time.
somehow made it through the methods section and most of the results at like 1am, which is further than I’d gotten all week.
probably not how I’d read something I needed to cite properly. for the paper sitting in my downloads folder that I kept avoiding though… apparently anime girl peer pressure works on me.
