I've recently started to feel the need to improve my vocabulary. What would be the best way to do it? Should I just keep a word book and try to use them as much as possible? I'm curious to try other methods

I am an international student and learn many words in English over time. I find reading novel is most helpful to me.
I also have a vocabulary and grammar guide for international students that I read once every 1-2 years. I know I am not fluent English yet but have add many word to my vocabulary. I also find most conversations do not need complex words, especially in person
I am also open to continue to improve and would like to hear other people’s advice on this
Download a dictionary like wordweb & lookup each & every English word you come across, for which you're not 100.00% sure of the correct meaning (how my vocabulary became better than literally anyone else since 2002)
Does it save your search history so you can scroll through and revisit words that you had looked up? I feel like a dictionary with this feature must exist so one can "refresh" on words that they'd looked up but may have forgotten after a few weeks.
Never thought of such an idea (as I'm a native speaker)
Read more books. Very simple. Any kind will do - just read them. Look up every word you don't know.
Find an author you like that has a bunch of books and read them all. An author will have a consistent 'voice' that comes through in their work so you'll get used to it and invariably they'll stretch their vocabulary, too, and then you'll have a sense of how it fits into language by being familiar with their 'voice'.
Reading lots of books and looking up the definitions to words you don’t know.
