I started reading an LN which seems to be way beyond my level, but I found the anime really interesting. Should I refrain from reading it (I have to keep checking a word every line) or can I keep on going until I get bored/tired? I found that a lot of beginner stuff bores me, I tried reading Kiki's delivery service and despite understanding ~80% of the contents I dropped it out of boredom.

If there was something a little easier that still held your interests that would be ideal, but it can be hard to find stuff that's both interesting and easy in the beginning. If you're able to follow the plot of the story, even while missing details, I don't see any problem with continuing until you get bored or it feels too hard.
Actual progress is better than ideal progress, when ideal progress means you get bored and give up.

that makes sense, I'll continue reading while simultainously looking through the resources database for something easier then, thanks!

i+1 is also less about an entire work and more a discrete instance of "getting it" with something, where material just out of reach simply is more likely to give you opportunities for that, while harder works may have fewer of that or where you get half of it is still valuable
engagement is also an important factor in learning, and you will generally expose yourself more to material you find engaging (pages read etc) than material that is less engaging, so imo it sorta evens out
per page less opportunities but you will have more of those with engaging material

haven't thought of it that way, thanks

I+1 is important for mining cause you're not always going to remember the context for your cards way after the fact. It's also an ok way to avoid getting bogged down analyzing sentences with too many unknowns during immersion.
CI imo is completely optional. I think it's great for people who are very uncomfortable not having high comprehension but that's about it
I'm not sure it's optimal or anything like that especially since most of it is pretty boring and that actually does matter. You learn faster when you're interested, so "optimal" is always a balance between engaging and comprehensible.
