My advice: Don’t stop, go slower. Practice recall. Are you using iOS or android? There’s an app called Kakehashi, use it to study context sentences and kana to kanji, use it to practice recall, that is to write the kanji, preferably use the Japanese input where you have to write the Kanji, rather than using the keyboard. Ringotan would be good too.
Although I can recognize a lot of Kanji and meanings, I can’t write it on the fly so I using Wanikani plus Kakehashi to do so.
Keep in mind that WaniKani doesn’t have English to Kanji which is another useful skill. The app Kakehashi does have it. Another app could be KameSame.
If you decide to stop but end up leaning a lot of kanji on your own, you can always go faster afterwards. The trick is to do all Radicals and Kanji, leave the vocabulary for later, with the setting lesson picker. You can level up in around 9 days. Don’t worry about being slower, you can always later speed up. Though, I think as a beginner, consistency is key.
