thanks for that post that’s helping a lot!
I had no idea this scripts existed and the typo one will be so useful to me. I am not an english language native (obviously) and for now 99% of my mistakes are either typos or english vocabulary issues (few words I am not familiar with like “sickle” or nuances I may misinterpret).
The reorder script sounds great also.
I also am starting to feel the questionnable vocabulary you mention, also I have some radical names that I am not fond of as I can recall different ones I learned with RTK (but that isn’t too much of an issue as I have forgotten most mnemonics now), and some keywords also are not the best and can lead me to mistakes despite completely mastering the word in japanese.
I’ll keep going at least for 10/20 more levels as I still appreciate the routine I have gotten in.
Then I’ll decide if I should change route, it’s alright for now. Having a lot of reviews isn’t so much of an issue when the answers and especially lessons are obvious but that shouldn’t last too long I guess.
I thought of sharing a little update as I am now a bit further at level 23.
In short I am very happy I went with WK and don’t encounter any volume issues still.
A lot more reviews now but the difficulty kept low enough that I don’t mind at all.
I actually feel going through WK later in the japanese learning journey is probably a much better idea than at early stages despite sounding counter productive in a way.
The use is just different, I don’t learn as much but I solidify my knowledge and the time investment is not as important as someone who would go into it earlier. It gets to be an added exercise that isn’t too demanding but I think very efficient.
A beginner would have his/her headspace way too occupied by wanikani in my opinion, by quickly accumulating unnecessary knowledge that will be filtered by time anyway, coming to it later avoids this altogether. I usually already am familiar with the majority of the vocabulary so the difficulty is purely the kanji, which is what I am supposed to learn with WK. Vocabulary learnt out of context never sticks anyway.
The main negative of WK in my opinion is that most mnemonics are pretty terrible. I often think it would have been hell as a beginner with these, it is unfortunately full of non-memorable nonsense.
As someone that already has a lot of familiarity with kanjis beforehand, another advantage is that I don’t get affected much by this and get to just ignore a lot of the content issues which would have been much harder if I was earlier in my path.
I use a mix of familiarity with the kanjis for which I just don’t need any mnemonic, and recollections of past RTK mnemonics I learned then which were WAY better (using Kanji koohii at the time for RTK which gives user shared/rated mnemonic propositions).
I just get the benefits and I think I am improving a lot more than when I am only reading and sentence mining.
Anyway rambling a bit but actually super positive about doing WK 
yes, i agree with all of this! glad your journey is going well 
i sometimes wonder if the quality of the WK mnemonics is secretly a prompt for us to try making our own, better ones 
indeed, the mnemonics are key!
When I did RTK I spent quite some time making my own for some kanjis and these are the ones that stuck years after (as I relate personally to them) along with ones from the koohii database that had a strong comical effect. I see nothing very catchy in WK ones 
I have tried to approach wanikani with a blank mind regarding mnemonics as I didn’t want to go in the way of the process in any way for it to work as good as possible… but I realise now it was pointless and I stuck to this way too long. I wish I immediately mixed in my own.
Now I literally don’t use any reading mnemonics (never make any sense whatsoever to me), almost no radical ones and probably 1 or 2 out of 10 meaning mnemonics.
That would be a nightmare situation as a beginner especially as you rely so much on the radical mnemonics.
