Japanese reading profile

This indexed edition contains 3,365 Japanese characters across 116 sentences. By length it is at approximately the 17th percentile of the 501 indexed literature. Its vocabulary breadth is at approximately the 15th 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.
