Touhou sucks. Fake difficulty and underage girls do not make a game good.

Well first and foremost because reading dictionaries is insanely dull. Reading the DoJG books as books, starting at page 1 reading it straight through to the end, using it as your primary learning tool, I can't think of a duller way of learning a language. It goes against everything CLIL has shown to be effective ways of learning.
That isn't to say you should neglect books plant yourself in front of anime 24/7 and simply hope you turn into a language amoeba absorbing everything through osmosis. As I said, DoJG are great books and I have used them extensively. I am also sure there are people who indeed can sit down and read through the entire thing as if it were a novel. However, in my weightless opinion anyway, telling a beginner to "lol just read DoJG" is bad advise. You wouldn't tell an Asian person to "simply read the Oxford dictionary of English grammar" and think that was good advise either, that is terrible advise. You would tell them to buy the book, to use it extensively, but you would never tell them to use that as their primary learning tool, to read it front to back. If anything that is why Asians are terrible at English, because that is what a lot of their schools are basically trying to do, ram in grammar rule #1 through #9999 without ever exposing the students (or teachers for that matter) to the language.
