I feel like furigana is a liability for my long-term success so I am going to rip it out of my Japanese studies where possible. I know it's handy but in the back of my mind the thought of one day turning it off, and my reading plummets, puts me off it.

Also in my grammar studies (thankfully, I am new to it so it won't ruin my SRS too much) I am disabling furigana there and also the nuance hints (e.g. it tells me I need an object marker there). Well great, that's most of the learning taken away.

Bunpro pretty much tells me the answer and I didn't even read the sentence. I can't see how this is helpful at all to be honest.

That's me not throwing shade at Bunpro - Bunpro is excellent! It lets me disable things I don't like which is perfect. And if someone finds the things I disable useful then that's also fine!

Actually, thankfully I was only 30 or so points into grammar on Bunpro and with hindsight their default hint levels were way too generous for me so I have reset my progress and will start N5 again. Now I have it strict I can use Japanese more to learn Japanese.
