I started Korean a few days ago. I am still in the "learning how this all works" phase. I'm frustrated by my slow reading speed and inability to find something to help that readily.

... why on earth would anyone want emails in their notifications to begin with?
Well, it was an old way of pronouncing it: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/people-have-been-saying-ax-instead-ask-1200-years-180949663/
I've said that, if I had it to do over again, I might choose to move to Norway or Finland instead of Japan, but birth? I don't know that's possible to answer. Even if my family were the same people, they'd probably be culturally different having been born and raised somewhere. Even if we assume my parents were just plonked down there, I probably still wouldn't be the same person due to my environment. Some of that almost certainly for better, but I wouldn't be me.
Dragons of Autumn Twilight was one that set me on quite the Dragonlance collection and reading journey
Yeah, I'm not a fan of those. I'm fine with licorice.
Peeps. I've never like marshmallow anything, really, and definitely not those abominations. Most cinnamon-flavored things. Edit: forgot one: chocolate-covered cherries. I don't know why. I have a cherry tree and will eat the cherries off it and don't even mind most artificially-cheery-flavored things. I also eat other fruits covered in chocolate (even durian).
Taiwan is just barely visible on a good day from Yonaguni (it didn't even really show up in the picture I took as anything). I don't think the reverse is true; nothing on Yonaguni is all that tall whereas Taiwan has mountains in the east. Those ancient navigators were amazing at their trade.
Mosquitos: jackpot!
I live in rural Japan where it's 04:30-05:00 instead (it's quite light out already in east Japan by then). Trying to work past like 11am in the heat and humidity is miserable and dangerous
This has nothing to do with speaking. This is just the government deciding which system to use (or at least favor) for transliterating things into English when writing (street signs for example). If you want to speak/learn Japanese, skip romaji altogether.
Pokemon. I was in highschool when it came out and had no time for it followed by being too poor and busy trying to survive directly after it. With no nostalgia for it, there seems to be no reason to try it. I gave pokemon go like 20 minutes and I was over it (though I did play dragonquest walk for around a year)
