I usually worry more about my apprentice items than I do my Guru or others. As long as it’s not effecting your estimated daily reviews, you should be ok.
Yep, got it today 
So what are levels 50-60 about? Are they bonus levels? Am I actually half done with “basic literacy” now? Or not?
This is the best one yet!
Congrats Mikey san
You are almost there.

As for your question related to Guru items, I agree with Aikibujin san’s assessment.

Level 25 Rocks!!

My understanding is that there were originally 50 levels and they added Levels 51- 60 after a few years. I don’t think they are bonus, I think they are essential. While I am not sure how we can measure “basic literacy” (measuring against Joyo frequent words etc. may not be the most accurate method.), it depends mostly on the type of medium you want to consume like Manga, anime, Japanese shows, News etc. Each has its own version of frequently used terms etc. So you can focus on those aspects by consuming those materials if you haven’t already started. 
Good Luck!
Would it be practically cheating at this point for me to join? (I should hit level 20 tomorrow)


Come join the troupe!
I just reached level 20^^ I hope I will make it till 21 until the end of the year
It is never too late Danchou
Join the party 

Note: I didn’t see you on the list. Please feel free to edit the first post (wiki) and add your name under the appropriate level. You can copy one of the existing lines and modify it with your details 
The word troupe reminds me of Phantom Troupe from Hunter X Hunter 
Hearty congratulations Esutasan
Only one more level left for graduation
You can do it 

Added myself 

And I leveled up lol
So… lol… Confession. I reset to level 11 last week.
The reviews were just getting over whelming and not fun, and I absolutely have to keep WaniKani fun. But I just leveled up a second time to level 12 today. And WaniKani feels good again.
I don’t know what my next goal will be. Will I keep up a quick but resetting pace.
example.
Get to 30, reset to 21, get to 40, reset to 31.
Or should I regain the levels that I perviously had and then drop down to a two week per level rate for all the levels after that.
Time will tell… whichever one feels the best I guess.
Good luck with it!
Let us know how it goes
