Had a rocky end of 2021 and lost the (mental) energy to keep climbing. I could not keep up my pace (roughly 14 days per level) and I’ve been stuck on level 40 for a while now. I’ve decided to reset and I’ll try new strategies to avoid 200+ reviews per day (which right now I cannot handle).
I’ll reach you guys “a little” further in the future. Have a good climb and/or enjoy the view at the top ;)!
DUDE, the early 40s are notorious for exactly that. I was definitely there. I decided to power through, but I think maybe reseting would have been better.
Instead, now that I’m at 43, I’m just going the speed level up route. I should be 44 by tonight. Fingers crossed.
Edit: LEVEL UP
Made it to level 45! Second observation deck
The early 40s felt like hell. Are those levels cursed? I literally almost gave up lmao.
Still, I feel very motivated right now because I’m getting close to 60. Only 15 levels left!
Good luck everyone, let’s keep climbing and doing our best 
And I somehow managed to get to level 42 before the deadline. And now I stop 
.
Oooooh no, I’m aiming for 45 by the deadline… Only 19 weeks left. This is going to be fun 
Nonono don’t worry 
those levels felt like hell because my brain was not willing to cooperate, but I believe in you, you can do it!
There’s some really fun and helpful vocab, just try to not get overwhelmed during the fast levels.
Good luck Voi, and have fun!
No shame in coming back later. After I hit 60 my motivation went bye for a long time. Im back now. Just did 1400 reviews today and am still about 1100 out from evening things out. Heres to burning most of wanikani.
Fight everyone. Fight. Even at the top of the tower keep fighting.
Down to 650 reviews to catch up on (just to keep it moving) I forgot a lot in my long absence and am hovering around 60-70% but honestly. After doing nothing for like 3-4 months thats OK retention. If I Remember 60-70% of wanikani for the rest of my life that seems more than adequate.
Sorry I keep updating. Officially back to 0. Not to say I dont have a lot of reviews ahead of me. I pause wanikani on the weekends so on monday ill have 264. Followed by 320 on tuesday and 210 on Wednesday. But, knocking things back down to business as usual. 68-75% on the last bit so I improved. yay! Until the end of the thing ill be aiming to burn as much as I can now and run with you guys actively! Good luck tower people. YOu still got a pretty good chunk of time!
Between Christmas, work, studies and other big C related events, I fell off track a little… but am back, got to level 15 and even burned my very first items this month!!
@TheVeggieMunch i see u went up 3 levels already…
How does it feel upstairs? Is the air thinner? Getting your “breathing” under control is essential i think.
Hi!
Reached level 37 yesterday.
I am on track for level 45 for May and and level 60 before the end of the year.
Woah, I’m Level 44 now 
I’m used to having more than 120 lessons upon level-up due to undone lessons from the previous level, but I only have 94, huh.
First level completed within 10 days for a while! I’ll be going fast-ish until my holiday ends, then pace myself and probably aim for around 2 weeks on each level. Hopefully the workload will decrease then until it’s easy to keep up with WK.
あけましておめでとうございます❕ Happy New Year!
Congrats to @febley & @sansarret on reaching level 60! You did it! 
Congrats to @vizi you’ve surpassed me on the climb up, keep it up; And congrats to @amagi on your level ups!
I hit level 53 this week, hoping for a slightly faster pace now that I’ve finished my licensing exam
(´・ω・)
Whoa, you reset all the way to level 1? I would die. I always only reset 10 levels. Well… hope it all works out.
Hi all! I’ve got to the top of the tree on December 31st, as planned. Now I’ve gurued the last bunch of kanji, and almost done with lessons.
Here is my Level 60 post.
I’ve very grateful to @Marifly for starting this thread, and to everyone posting their progress and encouraging folks along the way. Some months the need to report here was really helping me to get my motivation back.
Best wishes and good luck to everyone in 2022!
I haven’t been here since October, but I’ve been studying everyday! Realistically it’s impossible for me to make it to level 60 by May 22, and at my current pace it’s unlikely I’ll make it to the 2nd observation deck either. I’ll try to make it as high as possible though! I’m keeping my goal at 60 because that’s my ultimate goal anyway. Now let’s see if I remember to come back here again before level 40 lol.
life is messy at the moment so i doubt i will hit my goal (it was a hefty goal in the first place), but i kind of like taking it low and slow. i feel like if i stress too much about it, it’ll only discourage me from keeping at it
@sansarret Congratulations. I cannot agree more. I hope that @Marifly makes it back sometime, and just knows that they helped me stay on track with my goals, and I’m very grateful.
@Brasa Welcome back! When in doubt slow and steady. It’s taken me 1.5 to get to this point, but it’s better than not at all, and it’s better than going quicker but forgetting more things as well, imho.
Good luck Valerio san 
Cruising!!
Congrats Amagi san
