I was already starting to feel annoyed because it made me more reluctant or resentful when reading "harder" books that take more time to go through (like books in foreign languages)

Yes! This is why I'm giving it up next year.

I think I'd like to try not to quantify my reading next year, I'm a bit tired of tracking too many things in life lately anyway.

Gosh, so much of contemporary life really is tracking stuff, isn't it? It's like we think that we can quantify everything.

Thank you! And I hope you can enjoy your reading more this year!
