Is my juniper on the way out?

Originally for the first week per instructions, I kept it inside and misted the foliage regularly and checked the soil wetness for watering. After time I realized it was best to put it into good sunlight and yet over the past weeks I've seen that the Browning hasn't progressed, but it hasn't improved to a lush green either. Ive made sure to water once or so every two days when the soil feels wet, but I worry it may be over-watering. Not mention some shoots are brittle and snap off to the touch.
If it's possible can I save it? I'm really in love with the look and feel and I desperately want it to survive, being my first bonsai and all (though I'm told the road to bonsai is paved with dead trees). I'll post a few before a current picks, any and all advice is welcome.

Junipers belong outdoors. The instruction is wrong.

I prefer bonsai, but hey, to each their own.
These plants aren't meant to last. It's dying, which is to be expected.
You could try and do an emergency repot, put it in proper soil and take it outside.

Sorry, I think quite the opposite. These pots are so kitsch and so off 名媛直播. Its my opinion, no offense is meant, sorry.

Hm. I disagree. They sell seriously overprized sub-standard plants and standard pots, that too are overprized.
