This is not a good deck, it called itself 'Optimized' but everything else about it is terrible. I have no idea why this has so many good reviews.
The furigana is immediately shown so we have to force ourselves not looking at it if we wanna learn the kanji, it also disrupts the reading cause the furigana is in the same line as the sentence for some reason, the translation is immediately shown at the bottom so we have to not look at it if we want to try translate ourselves first. And since this is a fill in the blank type of deck, the answers can be varied. Sometimes it feels like can be more than one correct answer, and I find myself memorizing which card wants which answer instead.
And then there's the images, one of them straight up had the answer (交番) in the image itself, how are we supposed to learn? It's also super suggestive, why? And they look annoying. I don't know who pick these images since the other 6k decks had it too. I'm sure it was picked these way cause it'll make it easier to remember or something, not the case for me. And since there's so many pictures the whole deck has to be separated into three now which sucks.
So in summary:
- Hate the card format (fill in the blank)
- Hate the sentence formatting (furigana)
- Hate the stock images (it's funny at first but gets annoying to look at after a while)
- Hate how I have to cover my screen if I want to try translating by myself
- Hate how it's split into three decks
Of course, I can just adjust the deck ourselves to my liking instead of complaining here, but why was it made in the most annoying way possible anyway? I might as well just get this from somewhere else where it's arranged in a more sensible way.
Anyway I'll stop complaining now, I know it's free and all, if you still want to use this deck, follow the instruction by the guy at the bottom. He has a good suggestion on what to do to make this deck series much better. Or you can just download another core deck.
