Fishing Boat Exploration Update
A new fishing boat has been added near the cave area, allowing you to travel to new locations and explore beyond the main paths.
This is the beginning of a larger exploration system planned for future updates. A bigger ship is also planned later on, which will allow travel to even more distant areas.
For now, the fishing boat supports:
Exploration
Fishing
Item collection
Battles while traveling
More islands, battle zones, and hidden areas will be added over time.
Boat Controls
Press the “Enter” key to board and exit the fishing boat
While inside the boat, move near dark water shadows and press “Enter” to fish in dedicated fishing zones
Additional fishing spots and respawning fish locations are planned for future updates.
JLPT N2 Update
50 new JLPT N2-style questions and answers have been added to the JLPT N2 Room.
Includes:
New question formats
Explanations for answers
More N2 content is planned, along with future N1 and additional JLPT level expansions.
Battle System Expansion
New Enemy Type: くも = Spiders
While exploring with the fishing boat, you can now encounter Spider enemies.
Unlike previous encounters, spiders can appear in groups, allowing use of “ATTACK ALL” cards during battle.
New additions include:
Group enemy encounters
Unique spider attack animations and sounds
Stronger and alternate spider variants planned soon! ;D
When facing multiple enemies, challenge prompts can now display:
チャレンジ×2
チャレンジ×3
And more
Special surprise encounters will continue to appear simply as “Challenge”.
Additional Combat Improvements
Enemies can now appear during battle dynamically
Some enemies may evolve into stronger forms mid-battle
Losing while far from home using a boat or spaceship now returns you safely to your vehicle instead of leaving it behind
This allows players to:
Heal
Retry battles
Continue exploring more smoothly
More content and mechanics are planned for this new exploration area.
New Area Preview: Kanji Tower
A new Kanji Tower map area has been added.
Players can currently view the tower from a distance, though entry is not available yet.

Special thanks to user “Apoc” for suggestions related to the Kanji Tower and other ideas added to the game.
More updates to this area are planned.
Music Room Update
New songs added:
存在 = そんざい = Existence (Advanced / JLPT N1)
