I agree there is utility in it (and have done reading at that level of comprehension and below), and it's more interesting than children's stories, and it's a great way to improve your vocabulary, I was just pointing out that despite sounding good 90% comprehension falls well short of comfortable reading and you're better off trying to read easier texts than struggle with more difficult ones.

In fact that was one of the reasons why I made a program called Chinese Text Analyser [0], so that you could quickly identify suitable texts based on your current vocabulary without needing to read the novel first.
