Congratulations to @Alkivia , @SuperSnoopy , @here34 , @MissDagger , @avalia , @VictorLino , and anyone else!!
I finally started my level 10 lessons today… I’m just now realizing that I will have to be insanely consistent to reach the goal… but I’m still going to try!
I will shortly reach Lv. 30 and on that level I will take a break from leveling up to catch up and be confident about everything I have learned so far. We’ll see if I will still be able to make it 
@TheLastSwitch Congrats on lvl 15!
Thank you! Congratulations to you too, you’re flying through each level.
Thanks! 
Level 57!
Have been pushing those leeches down pretty well; it’s a slippery slope downwards!
Unfortunately had a pretty bad session with like 22 mistakes (which all become leeches of course), so at the end you see a little peak. However the lowest point up till now is 555 leeches. That’s almost 200 less than the peak in this graph. 
Great job at working so consistently on your leeches, @Pep95! I’m sure I would not be able to do that in combination with the fast level up times. Btw: is that a script that you are using or are you tracking this data in a spreadsheet manually?
And congratuliations to @victorlino, @_shiori, @here34, @avalia, @Alkivia and @thelastswitch! Keep on rocking everyone!
I finally made it to level 42. And while I was planning to go fast for as long as I can, I realized that my brain really needs a break now. A while ago, when I saw @Kumirei staying on level 42 for a few months or so, I always thought it would be so nice to also reach level 42 one day and that it might be a good time to take a break. And it seems like that is going to happen now - since this is the best of all levels, I might as well enjoy it for as long as possible.
Thanks! 
It is manual. I enter it all into a table and then plot it in Matlab.
In Matlab, obviously 
Oh man, I just love the Japanese learning community.
Also congrats on your level up! Only just refreshed my leaderboard
So many level ups, congratz to:
@Pep95
@emucat
@irrelephant
@_Shiori
@avalia
and probably some folks I don’t have on my leaderboard!
Thank you @irrelephant! Congrats on your level up too 
If you think your brain needs a break, I encourage you to take one - you deserve it! Especially since you had been working hard to prepare for the JLPT too.
And thank you again @MissDagger 
一緒に頑張りましょう！
Wow! How do you enter the data / detect what’s a leech and determine what to enter? Are you putting in all your hundreds of leeches by hand?
I finally started (and finished) level 17 lessons and am now at 0/0. I had quite a backlog of reviews so it feels good to have gotten through all those too. I think I lost motivation for a moment tbh. It’s hard to keep the momentum up when life gets stupidly busy. Anyway、almost one third of the way there、the desire to read along with the book club and of course、the Olympians have been my driving force to kick my own butt and get on with things. Lol.
I use leech list to count the amount of leeches. Then I just simply enter the amount of leeches into a table.
Another script I can recommend is the Leech and SRS Dashboard breakdown
Thank you 
. I’m trying to be relaxed about it since I had a couple of these breaks already and I’m somewhat confident that I will always come back from them. But secretly it still bugs me… I’ll just take that as a good sign: a part of me still wants to progress and I just have to wait it out until 90% of me wants to get back into it.
Well done!! And I really can relate to that – there’s only so much mental energy that we have available in a day. But as long as we keep at it, things will work out in the end. And I think it is normal, probably even beneficial up to some point, to have motivational ups and downs as a response to the current total amount of stress in our lives. As long as you don’t stop completely, motivation will come back when it is time, I’m sure.
Ever since I started with the leaderboard script I now feel bad about anyone I might have missed and that now feels like I’m intentionally ignoring them when congratulating people on their level up. Always great to find yet another tiny thing to worry about, what else would I be doing all day long 
To anyone I missed on my leaderboard: I’m sorry, it was not intentional 
Congrats on getting to lvl 20 @avalia. Have some fire blingee gifs

And congratulations @emucat, I just saw that you did indeed make it to level 44 as planned.
Yes… but now is terrible. Like 140 new lessons…
Deep deep in 地獄 of Level 37!
