Why bother with volumes? Let's just write one big book, like War & Peace.

When I graduated high school, I burned many of my old notebooks. Specifically the ones involving Chinese literature. One lesson was: read a piece, memorize 200 vocabulary words for the piece (!!) and memorize 8-10 questions & answers about the piece.
MEMORIZE. try to answer in your "own words", you'd invariably miss part of the definition and get docked a ton of points
I was so exhausted by graduation... and I barely remember anything I studied in the last 4 years anyway. Most of the Chinese I retained was from the first 6 years out of 13

Cramming things into your mind over a short period, is counter produtive. From it all simply being dumped out of shrot term memory, thtrough burn out, to being reluctant to engage with teh subject in future.

I'm the person you agreed to give all your Venturian walking money to.
Yups. Not healthy education. Such things can impact years later in seemingly unrelated topics. Just the thought of having to take onboard lots of information, can be intimidating as memories of doing it on shorter timescales bubble away.

That's the spirit! Nothing a few life affirming experiences can't help with. Or electro shock therapy. Either way!

Life affirming for the nasty genie; life ending for the nasty genie's victims.

No, though one could argue that bumbling genie types are even more dangerous
