Before I read the 2 books mentioned, I hadn't read an actual book since I was 18 (I'm 21 now). I've read plenty of manga since then, but I'm not sure that counts. I'm not exactly sure what my reading level is tbh. I read "The Rise of Kyoshi" in 3 days with many breaks, which has 442 pages and is marked as Young Adult. Not sure if that helps.
good for you for trying to get back into reading, it’s super good for you at keeping your mind fresh.
manga def counts, there’s tons of manga with complex writing behind it but it’s always good to stick to a variety of stuff. you should try some light novels if you haven’t, they’re a good halfway point between manga and conventional literature and are made to be easily digestible. some of my favorites are “zaregoto” by nisio isin, and “the empty box and zeroth maria” (hakomari for short) by eiji mikage
