Well just by looking at the titles of the ‘days’, I’d say that most of it is already covered at some point by textfugu or tofugu. As for the other ‘days’, yeah I guess you can find information about it for free on the internet.
That said, it might either be covered more deeply or more stylishly by Koichi giving it the extra incentive to buy it, but I didn’t buy it(cause of the first part of my post) so I don’t know.The meat of the complaint seems to be the default of the new lesson per week or two statement, and that receiving access to this new e-book would be aqueduct recompense for the sluggish pace of Textfugu. I have utmost respect for Koichi and have had a very positive experience with all things related to this place, but I feel the grumblings here have validity. I joined TF about 1.8 years ago now and, if you use the old season layout (1-2 = 1, 3-4 = 2, 5-6 = 3 and 7 = season 4) there is few “new” lessons, only a lot of remade ones. There is some injustice in that statement given the vast improvement to the Kanji aspect of this place, headway made in season 3 lessons and a few new lessons injected into earlier parts of the curriculum, but overall one must wonder why a new resource is being developed when we’re more or less stagnant in place here at TF.
So basically I just said what has already been said. :P Not interested in getting into a debate over it, and I don’t actually believe we “deserve” free access to the e-book. It’s more of a chin scratching moment of why Tofugu has gotten into the business Textfugu was designed specifically to tackle. Just sayin’.

Dear Koichi and team,
Thank you for all the hard work you always put into our lessons; for all the hard work you put into making Textfugu look better, read better, easier to understand, and so inspiring! I love reading the articles you put out every so often, they only inspire me to learn more!
I admit that I haven’t been the best student, and I’m sorry for that. I’m also sorry that we here on the forums haven’t been very good about showing that appreciation. I feel badly for all the accusations I read about you and the team. So, I’m sorry for that too. I don’t think you deserve it. It’s very hard and time consuming to rework an entire site, and not easy fixing any glitches that result in such changes.
So I just wanted to say THANK YOU and that I will do better by you all- by being a better student from now on!
You are doing seriously amazing work here! You inspire so many of us to continue learning Japanese.
From,
Misty HayesI very much agree with Misty Hayes.
As a rookie here I envy the students who have survived long enough to bump into the boundaries of the course and salute your zeal in wanting to learn more. I only hope I make it that far someday.
I purchased the eBook and go through a chapter whenever I need a break from studying vocab. I have already found it useful for improving my studies.
I just started ‘day one’ seems promising so far :] Thanks koichi!
