Below is an excerpt from a post I made last year about putting WaniKani to rest:
Maybe if there’s a script that could reset terms to lessons, I might find myself redoing the ones I’ve yet to burn again from the beginning, but… there’s more out there to study. Guided textbooks, Bunpro, heck, just enjoying myself and consuming actual Japanese media are all possible options.
I’ve looked around, and it seems the only non-script ways to manipulate lessons/SRS levels are to either complete them, or hard reset your account back to a certain level.
And it seems that even with scripts, you can’t reset something back to a lesson nor can you burn it.
Is this true?
And if so, is there any way for a script to remove a term from reviews for all practical purposes? For example, it might automatically recognize terms you’ve marked as “burn” during reviews and automatically answer them correctly.
I was thinking about resetting to an earlier level and then marking off all the ones I have down pat in that level (a similar tactic to the one I’m using to great success in Bunpro), and then going from there.
Not a huge deal if not, but I do like how WaniKani sets up its studying, and it’d also be convenient to study things here and have it link up automatically to Bunpro as well, since I don’t think I want to study vocab and grammar in the exact same place.
Also side note: if it’s the case that we can’t manipulate SRS levels, do we know why not? I understand WK is all about forcing you to study in such a way that you don’t give into your base instincts and lazily skip things you shouldn’t skip, but… kinda feels like it’s limiting usability for people like me.
