Welcome to the WK community @amphidora
Since you are new, you’ve probably missed some of the very important guides that members of the community have written. Check the second post of this one for example, it’s a famous guide (written by a famous member of the community):
https://community.wanikani.com/t/my-journey-of-368-days-the-ultimate-guide-for-wk/31318
I know…it’s a long guide 
At least see if there’s anything of use to you…
I think it’s important that you find out about the Srs spacing and about the Userscripts
Anyway, I’m adding you the leaderboard. (Speed is something you’ll be able to fill after you level up so I’m leaving it blank) I’m writing lv 60 but it’s gonna be very hard since you just started. Feel free to downgrade the goal to lv50 or something if you change your goal
