Somehow, I’ve only just discovered this thread.
I’meowt of likes right now, but wow, this is quite a feat!
From 6583 reviews to 218…
I have an experience of digging myself through a large pile of reviews, but not this large (my biggest was, iirc, around 2500)
The Great Cat of Purrseverance has been walking alongside you – may it never leave your side!
Best of luck with your studies!
The fact that my review count bounced back so quickly is a demonstration I think of how the problem nowadays is mostly the number of difficult high level words bouncing around, not the fact that I failed to do an extra 100 review session that one time or went on vacation for a week a month and a half ago or whatever.

I don’t know - I think it’s a bit of both. I think it came down because you did some extra reviews when you level up. The recent new items will certainly add more reviews since they’re mostly at apprentice and guru. But you also do have a lot of high level items - your consistently high enlightened count reflects that.
I think all of us watching want to give hints to help you keep the pile down, me included, but ultimately you’ve been doing this for months and have massively knocked down the review count. So I figure keep doing what works for you.
That seems true. Every time I read someone giving advice on this thread, I’m like, maybe this person who has had a routine for like years? at this point? doesn’t want advice.
Guru’d my first three lvl55 kanji today. 30 more to go.
Unfortunately, the reviews today were also a lot harder than before, taking me 19 minutes rather than the 13-14 of previous mornings.

On an unrelated note, I unlocked 瓜実顔 (“oval face”) on the 25th, just over a week ago, and every single time it comes up, I think of the card Ovalchase Daredevil from Magic: The Gathering.

This morning, I unlocked two different words that are both read “shinzui” and both mean “essence”.
