(Problem solved) Userscript that shows what kanji are needed to progress

Haha, no problem. It happens

Here’s a quick explanation of the whole thing

@jprspereira

The 2 types of levels on Wanikani

• Normal levels, where the fastest speed to level up is 6 days and 20 hours (~7d).
• Fast levels, where the fastest speed to level up is 3 days and 10 hours (~3d12h).

The fast levels are 1, 2, 41, 43-44, 46-47, 49-60.
The normal levels are all the ones left and represent most of your WK journey (41 levels total).

If you’ve read How Do I Get More Lessons? you’ll know that “guruing” radicals from x level will unlock the lessons of kanji from that same level, which then will lead you to “guru” those kanji and unlock vocabulary from this same x level. In order to level up, it’s necessary to have “guru’d” 90% of kanji from a certain level at least once.

Usually right after leveling up, you’ll unlock all the radicals and the 1st batch of kanji from that level. This is the Part 1 of normal levels. Once you “guru” the radicals and unlock the remaining kanji lessons (2nd batch), you start with the Part 2 of the level. Eventually, you’ll reach 90% of “guru’d” kanji and level up, just to start this process all over again.

This is where the difference between fast levels and normal levels is. Fast levels are levels that unlock more than 90% of kanji right after you reach that same level. There are no two parts. All the radical and 90%+ of kanji lessons can be done after leveling up. This is why you can do them in half the time. Be careful however, fast levels are just as intense as normal ones. Just because you can do them in half the time doesn’t mean that you should.
