Always at 0 reviews and 0 lessons, will workload pick up?

I’ve sort of been doing the same, except without the script. Whenever I level up, I paste something like this into the browser console, which lets me just do the radical lessons plus the first four vocab.

$.jStorage.set('l/lessonQueue', $.jStorage.get('l/lessonQueue').filter(r => r.rad))

It’s mostly because I don’t want to install any browser extensions, but I suppose another advantage to not having a reorder script is that there’s less temptation to use it all the time. I also only do this when leveling up. For the mid level kanji lessons, there’s no issue because I’ve already cleared out all the vocab lessons over the last 3.5 days. The problem with levelups is that it gives you a large amount of new vocab lessons at the same time as the radical lessons, so it is very helpful to be able to defer those to a more convenient time.

It will definitely pick up. As a couple others have mentioned, there are a few big load jumps over the course of WaniKani, mostly when items start reaching master, enlightened, and especially burned. This is because these reviews will start to add up with the apprentice to guru stuff that you’re already reviewing on a daily basis. It’s a long journey out from level 10, but the fast levels around level 48-60 are the largest jump in load I’ve gotten so far.

I definitely understand the feeling though, but nowadays I sometimes wish it’d slow down a bit

Good luck!

Supplement your learning with grammar and join an absolute beginner book club! Bunpro is pretty good if you’re at work and want to do some learning on the computer, and it is also a SRS system. Some people are into Torii for additional vocab.

Basically diversify your learning, remember WK is primarily for Kanji memorization.

Since you mention always having 0 lessons, am I right to assume that so far you have been doing all your lessons as soon as they come in? You also mention having new reviews at many points throughout the day. And having about 10 day level ups.

Doing all your lessons at once should already enable you to go near full speed (assuming you don’t set your alarm to do critical reviews in the middle of the night).

So I think you are getting either some radicals wrong in review (which would delay the unlocking of kanji, which delays getting to 90% on the level’s kanji), or getting kanji wrong a bunch (especially on the second wave, which delays you getting 90% of kanji to guru within 7 days).

Why not try to pay more attention to your lessons? Take a little more time to get your radicals and kanji correct in reviews? Or make sure you aren’t making silly typos on your kanji and radical reviews?

Also, keep in mind that full speed is not the be all, end all of kanji learning. Make sure that if you go this route, you also don’t compromise your learning and retention. Though some might argue that learning the kanji quick and then diving into reading and consuming native materials is a very valid way of learning as well. Assuming you don’t skirt on grammar studies, I guess.
