Starting wanikani as an advanced speaker -- should I continue?

You should install the reorder omega script: [Userscript] Reorder Omega - #241 by Kumirei

There is a 1x1 mode that allow to always have kanji reading and meaning back to back, always in the same order. It speed up quite a lot the review when you don’t have to think about if it’s reading or meaning.

And in any case, as an advanced learner you probably need the omega reorder script to deal with the radical and kanji lesson as soon as they appear to be able to go max speed and climb level quickly, otherwise it would be quite boring. Also probably the WK double script to be able to never fail radical since it can delay harshly level up.

Edit: the torture by counter is almost over by level 5 fortunately. Also the interesting thing about WK is that they don’t limit themselves to beginner vocab, they also mix in less common vocabs if it help remember some kanji reading, so you may be able to learn new things earlier than you thought. (probably not in the 10 first levels though)
