Readings struggle: Kunyomi....onyomi...and exceptions!

Your accuracy is not bad at all, but I do think your worry is justified in the sense that you might have leeches going on from guru to apprentice and working on them would make your life easier (and your accuracy go up).

I advise you to use these 3 scripts:

@jprspereira

• ConfusionGuesser: Do you ever feel that most of your difficult reviews are just because you’re mixing items up due to how similar they are? This script helps you fix that. Every time you get an item wrong in your reviews, this script will display the possible items that you’re mixing up with, so that you can see all the visual differences without leaving the tab at all. It’s great to bring those difficult kanji and vocab down
• Self-Study Quiz: Have you ever wished to review a certain type of items from a specific level? This is it. This script allows you do an extra and personalized reviewing of any items you learn on WK. Do not worry, as this script will not influence the SRS level of items.
• WaniKani Open Framework Additional Filters: This script serves as an upgrade to the Self-Study one I mentioned above. Basically, it will add filters such as “most recent items learned” and “leeches” (most difficult items for you) to your Self-Study script. For the distance of just a couple clicks, you can get all the extra reinforcement on the items you need the most

If you’re using another SRS platform to learn vocab not on Wanikani, I advise you to actually add your leeches as cards there. This will give you a 2nd chance to learning them and it will feel like as fresh start. For me, this was what worked best when it comes to working on those items you’re struggling with.

Good luck
