this is relative
what I paid for one year in WK, something that I use every single day, more than 1h each day is the same price of a release game on ps4 here in my country and mostly a game that you can beat in 15-20h tops and then you forget all about it later
WK is worth every penny IMO.
I mean itâs cheaper if you rush
Iâve reset multiple times, usually only around 10 levels or so but most recently from level 60 to level 1. The way I see it, mastering Japanese is a life long goal, and you will always be learning new things and refreshing your memory on old things. I think consistency and not getting overwhelmed are more important than speed. Going too fast, getting burned out, taking a break, then having to reset will likely set you back further than if you had just gone slow and steady the whole way. 
Doesnât really matter if one fail. You learn through failures anyway. Besides, you have learned plenty already, so you didnât really lose any progress, you just postponed the date when you are done with wanikani. You might have reset your progress on wanikani, but you didnât do the same with your brain. I would recommend to implement WK into your daily routine somehow. The hardest thing is to get started, but if youâve so used to doing WK you just do it without thinking about it and it makes everything much easier. Good luck. Youâll get through it eventually, we all will, just at different pace and end dates.

Well, that was kind of the point of the reset. Originally it was very much integrated into my routine as my routine was built around it. But after I switched to conversation and grammar focus it fell by the wayside. I figured if I just reset it it would be easier to rebuild the daily habit all over again. Itâs hard to build a habit when youâre frustrated getting reviews wrong all the time. Plus, resetting lets me review everything while keeping my main focus on grammar and communication study.
Well, here I am back at level 5! Whoo-hoo!
I totally forgot how slow WaniKani is in the beginning levels, and itâs even worse when you already know everything. Oh well. Cruising along crushing kanji with the occasional typo.
A little bored⊠part of me regrets this, haha. But I suppose once Iâm back at my true level it will be without those pesky leeches and Iâll have a lot more grammar study out of the way. Back up the mountain we go!
Sorry for the late call, but I see youâre already level 35 (30 + 5)! Nice nice!
I mean, now you donât have to worry about WaniKani for a good couple of levels and can easily redirect that energy towards books or manga, right?

Thatâs the plan!
Just hit my first burns of Round 2! My new schedule wonât let me speedrun at full blast so my pace is a little off. Wish I could go a bit quicker since this is all just review anyway⊠but Iâll get back soon enough.
I did the same thing, except I got nowhere near level 30 before falling off the wagon and then having to reset.
Iâm now slowly making my way through WK. I only advanced 5 levels in all of 2021, but I did reviews every day. I could beat myself up about or I could just slog forward. As long as every day I get my review count to zero at least once, and most days I accomplish that goal, nothing else matters. 700+ consecutive days and countingâŠ
Youâve done the right thing by backing away from the monstrosity!
I recommend staying away⊠these are not the droids youâre looking for anyway.
Practice throwing grizzly bears instead!
