Great resource if you can stomach the woke bullshit
This looks like a combination of the Joyo kanji, graded reader, and Dictionary of Japanese Grammar rolled up into one and very concise plus the kana readings of the passages. It also gives various example usages inside natural material when there are different readings of the kanji. The blurb summary of references after each passage has an extremely brief but helpful one-word description of every piece of the passage that you just read. It is very helpful to see this quick descriptors of the words, particles and grammar points. This could be the most valuable part.
I am reading the Kindle-dedicated version and the lookups have not been Kindle-friendly so far. For example, if I highlight a word on the Kindle to lookup, the highlight automatically includes a particle and thus the compound word plus particle cannot be found in the Kindle dictionary. This is very unfortunate and I hope it is only the case from the initial examples in the introduction. Luckily, the kana readings follow each passage so I can look up words manually.
There is an eye-rolling woke blurb at the beginning about "diverse sources" and altered pronouns and then the author proceeds to add a female gender to a genderless Japanese sentence in one instance. Furthermore, there are 2 shameless anti-Trump sentences that in total distract from study and are irrelevant to Japan and Japanese. I would hope that the next volumes would have less of these injections but I am skeptical.
Minor complaints are that some sentences are a bit weird and unnatural, and there are occasionally some very similar almost repetitive examples in a row. I also wish that the main way to read the standalone kanji was given at the start of each Kanji; the way Japanese would communicate it verbally.
Because you go through this sentence by sentence, it is perfect to read when you just have a few minutes or are in a situation where you will be interrupted often, as one might do with Anki flashcards. I am using a kindle and the kindle app on my phone.
Some of the sentences are a bit difficult so I'm not sure how well a beginner would get through this.
