Hey pals!
This is only… 2 years late. I managed to hit Level 60 in back March 2020 in a fashion I do not recommend to anyone and come with a cautionary tale haha.
A quick back-story, I started on WaniKani in March 2018 when I had just moved to Toronto in Canada from Australia and wanted to make some friends. I joined a few different hobby groups, one being a Japanese language exchange. They were all so friendly and willing to help me study I figured damn maybe I can actually do this. Fast-forward to 2020 and I had somehow found myself living in Tokyo and absorbing as much Japanese as I could get my eyes on. In the lead up to Animal Crossing New Horizons in March 2020, and my excitement to play it in Japanese for fun/practice, I used it as motivation to steamroll through the final 10ish levels of WaniKani. It was fun learning so much but at that high level and pace as soon as I got to 60 I burnt out and it sat sitting there for months. Reviews got harder and pilled up, I believe it was over 1,500 at one point. I would try and get through a couple a day but hadn’t retained enough so they would be right back + extra the next day and it was roooough. I finally pulled myself together in 2021 and had a steady review pace and made my way through all my reviews. Then I finally cracked open Level 60 and learnt all that, and am now well on the other side! I would have preferred to use that extra year on more grammar etc but I was determined not to hit 60 and leave it, I gotta burn them all, baby 
. You can see where I am now below.
So hope anyone out there hoping to gun through some levels just knows what they are in for haha. I am in a much more manageable place now and have moved onto other study while slowly burning what’s left.
Side note, I am already planning to take on another giant task I am ill-prepared for and am shooting for N2 in December, so if anyone has any tips or knows any threads I should be following I would appreciate it! 
Hope everyone is going well with their own learning journeys
