That being said…
Progress Update:
Been working on reviews on and off. Down to 1296 reviews currently. Around 450 of those are burn reviews, so I’m not worried about them, so that leaves around 800 reviews. 250-300 of those 800 are for enlightened, and I’m mildly confident on those. The remaining 500-550 are guru and apprentice, most of which I’m guessing are leeches and stuff that I just learned before my break. Those are gonna be the most painful to get through I’m guessing.
Anyway, I’m staying optimistic. Let’s do this!

Currently down to 1046 reviews. For the first time in many months, I think I’m going to be dropping below 1000 reviews!
Still, the 327 apprentice count is scaring me, especially because I know a lot of those are leeches. Not sure what I’m going to do about it yet, right now I’m focusing on just burning items and getting all the reviews I’m confident on out of the way, so I can get a better look on the things I wanna work on.
Renamed the thread to reference l_l’s thread, because I think what I’m recording here at this point seems similar to their experiences right now.

For the first time in months, I’ve finally dropped below 1000 reviews. I’m not gonna lie, I’m feeling pretty proud of myself. Gonna use this as fuel to keep me moving forward. 日本語を勉強する時間だ！！
(Though I’m pretty sure 「日本語勉強時間」would’ve sufficed. Let me be overrexcited about grammar!)
I reset to level 10.
Why?
I’ve been insisting to myself that I wouldn’t reset and that I could get through the giant review pile (and I know I could, I was making substantial progress,) but I really stopped to think about it. There was no reason except for my pride that was making me insist on not resetting. I think I could benefit from freshly learning the items I’ve forgotten at a more sane pace, instead of trying to relearn them in a sea of reviews.
Really, I should’ve been thinking of it in a more logical way. I looked through my items and looked for what SRS level I started struggling, and while I could’ve reset to lower than 10, I was a bit scared too reset too far back, so I just decided on a less scary amount, only 4 levels back.
This time around, I’m thinking of taking things at a slower pace, because last run I couldn’t manage WaniKani and all my other obligations at the same time. Now, I’m more confident I can do it as long as I take it slower and actually use vacation mode properly.
I hope that this will help overall and make getting back into WaniKani an easier experience.
勉強しよう！！

I’m now a lifetime user! I bought during the sale but decided I should make an update post about it. I think it was a good decision now that I know what kind of pacing I’d like to take.
