That’s pretty much the question, what resources do you use to learn vocabulary that doesnt use kanjis.
Well, reading. But there is also this nice spreadsheet that I get words from and put into HouHou

Back when I started, mostly textbooks.
Nowadays, mostly exposure.
The core 10k @Vanilla mentioned is pretty good too.
@Vanilla I know. I saw it coming.
It’s hard to type fast with a half-broken hand.

I just read, mostly because I don’t like anki and wk +kw is already all the SRS I want to make time for.

LingQ. Their platform is good for upper-beginner and above Japanese learners. They also have a ton of other languages.
Here’s an introductory video.

I’ve recently started using Houhou properly. I just add interesting words I come across when reading / watching stuff. I worried it would build up to an unmanageable level too quickly, but that’s not the case. I rarely add more than 4 or 5 words a day (and frequently zero) so the workload remains very small.
Something that’s made a big difference to me recently is I started adding a little note about where I saw each word. Previously I’d sometimes get a word come up for review and not understand why it was there - why would I ever need this? I’d wonder - but that little context note helps me not just recall why I included it, but by connecting the vocab with an image or situation helps me actually remember the word better.

@Sedrak0071 Another option if you actually want to pay the people who made the “core” vocab deck (6,000 of it at least) that people always talk about:
