Tips for JLPT N2

After studying for N3 for the longest time. I passed N3 few months back with just 96 marks. I really want to continue with passing N2 now but I’m already demotivated that it’s far difficult than N3 as said by most people. Due to which I did not prepare much for N2 dec attempt (did not even complete Soumatome series). I’ve covered few chapters of kanji, vocab (no goi at all) & I’m currently practise only Soumatome reading book. Ig I’ll just wing the exam now, but I need your suggestions as to how I should prepare for N2 in an interesting way. And any advice related to the exam is also welcomed.

Any suggestions/ recommendations relating to N2 books / shows / novels is appreciated.
