What was the first book you read in Japanese?
for manga, I like kanjitomo for OCR, and for reading text on my phone I use a browser extension to generate epub from WNs or otherwise try and find an epub, and then use the typhon-kai reader (https://github.com/dajimenezja/typhon/releases) in android which can do dictionary lookups (I tried kiwi browser+ttu and also jidoujisho and both were pretty scuffed (Super laggy on large books, and triggered dictionary lookups while I was swiping to scroll down which was super annoying))

I read 200 books in Japanese!
https://github.com/dajimenezja/typhon/releases if you're ok to manually install an APK. A bit clunky but it has the fastest dictionary lookups of any app. I read my first 20 books on this.

What is the best option to read untranslated VN's for someone like me?
Textractor hooks text into your clipboard, so Clipboard Inserter will insert it to the browser page.

"Secrets" of Yomichan
Best case scenario, you're playing a game or using Bookwalker. Often, especially if the game is a visual novel (play more voiced visual novels! They're great for learning! Avoid the ones on Steam!), you can use a program called Textractor to extract the text out automatically to make lookups easy. I use Clipboard Inserter with this site for a really nice setup that counts characters and time as you read.
What are some alternatives?

Textractor - Extracts text from video games and visual novels. Highly extensible.
mpvacious - 🍜 Adds mpv keybindings to create Anki cards from movies and TV shows.
