Japanese reading profile

This indexed edition contains 55,936 Japanese characters across 5,531 sentences. By length it is at approximately the 21st percentile of the 335 indexed anime. Its vocabulary breadth is at approximately the 26th percentile within the same group.

Those numbers describe the text, not your personal comprehension. A long work can contain more unique vocabulary while still becoming comfortable through repetition. DokiDokiDict's recommender uses your own known words and simulates the work sentence by sentence instead of assigning one universal level.
