Last year, I raced through Wanikani and then stopped when my subscription ended. However, I was worried that I had forgotten everything, so four months later, I resubscribed. Additionally, I was worried that I’d forgotten even a lot of the things I burned last year, so I decided to resurrect every single burned item, except for radicals, 2670 in all, bringing me to a total of 6218 reviews outstanding.
Unfortunately, I made little progress on the 6218 review mountain, and then I went on vacation for a week, during which time I wasn’t able to do any reviews. I’m now back from vacation and ready to do reviews again, but the pile has now grown to 6498 reviews, even more than when I first started.
Since my review pile is actually higher than when I originally started, I figured that it is basically like starting the challenge from square one all over again and I might as well make a new thread for it. Hopefully, this time will go better than the last.
I vaguely pondered burning everything, and then unburning it all again so I could see what it looks like with every item in the queue, but I don’t think it changes once you’re past the 2000 mark. Or thereabouts.
I genuinely recommend limiting your maximum amount of reviews per day. If you do 1000 in one day for example, large groups of reviews will come back at the same time, especially if I look at your apprentice count. For some it’s such a huge slap in the face that it kicks their motivation into oblivion. So even though you might want this finished asap, it is better to take it slow but steady.

Interestingly, there is a picture for 500+ undone lessons, though nobody should even see it without the reorder script (or unburning a ton of items? Not sure how unburning works, like if the unburned items just end up in your lessons again)
This is the 500+ picture. I don’t think there’s another one for even more lessons
I spent a lot of time (over an hour) on reviews today, and also had a much higher than normal accuracy rate this morning. Hopefully that’s a sign I’m making progress.

My accuracy rate stayed high today. Hopefully this is the new normal.
As with yesterday, I spent a lot of time on reviews today due to the weekend. However, the dent in the review pile will be small and temporary as reviewed items will mostly come back up soon.

I skipped a day recently for no other reason than I just didn’t think to do it despite being pretty consistent, and I thought the just over 100 reviews waiting for me was a scary amount.
