I'm back!
I had stepped back from practicing writing in English for a while. I thought it had been maybe half a year, but it’s actually only been one and a half months since my last essay. Before I stopped writing, I had maintained a streak for 67 days, so I guess I was a little burnt out. After a month of recharging, I finally feel ready to get back to writing! But this time, I will do it at a smoother pace to avoid burnout.
Recently, since I’ve done less output practice, I have been reading a lot of English books. I subscribed to an app called LingQ, which allows me to import my own eBooks. Whenever I look up words, it saves them and automatically creates flashcards. The downside is that the user interface design is quite unintuitive, and the app is sometimes buggy. Since it costs $14.99 USD a month, this is annoying.
But LingQ does help me read English books more efficiently. It records the word count I’ve read, generates audio from the text, and can be used as an Anki-style flashcard app. So overall, the advantages outweigh the inconveniences for me.

Welcome back, I hope you'll have a much longer streak than last time :)
Even though I haven't read your previous entries, you've improved greatly.

I had stepped back from practicing my writing iten English for a while/some time.
I thought it had been maybealmost half a year, but it’s actually only been one and a half months since my last essay/entry.
Unless your last entry was an essay, I would refrain from using that term.

Smoother pace sounds unnatural. I was assuming that you're going slower to avoid burnout.

You're welcome.
But this time, I will do it at a smoother pace to avoid burnout.
I think I'd say 'a more conservative pace', but what you've written is correct.

I'd say 'is not intuitive', but what you've written is correct.

This is me being very picky: in a short text you repeated 'since'. If you were concerned about repetitions, you could change one of them, e.g. 'As it costs $14.99 USD a month, this is annoying.' 'Recently, because/as I’ve done less output practice, I have been reading a lot of English books.' You have used 'since' correctly - I only mention this in case you want to vary your sentences more.
You write extremely well - I would assume you were a native speaker. I also use LingQ/Anki - it's an excellent combination! I hope you find some good English books to enjoy :)

The advice on replacing repeated words is very useful, thanks!
