Welcome to my [post frequency TBD] study log, featuring the one and only Hatsune Miku! (I need to come up with a better username, my name bit on Discord is usually joke name ft. 初音ミク)
Here I will try to remember to report my progress every so often so I have some form of documentation for where I was. I have three methods of study I’m focusing on right now, and might find more in the future.
Wanikani:
I have a 6 day study streak on Wanikani. I am currently Level 3, as of last night. In the last 7 days, I’ve done 695 reviews, with a 97.52% success rate. I have 111 Apprentice, and 169 Guru items.
This is actually pretty good, since I picked up Wanikani 6 days ago after letting my account go dormant for about 7 months. I was in the middle of level 2 when I left, and although I initially thought to reset to level 1, I did the 65 reviews sitting on my account and I was 85~ish% correct. So, I managed to salvage it and pick up where I left off.
I am slightly worried that I’m going fast, but I am a generally fast learner. In the last 2 days alone I’ve done 109 lessons. But, my correct rate is still “outside (above) the learning zone”, so I figure as long as I’m still retaining information, and my success rate is still this high, that I’m good to keep pushing. I also do a decent bit of extra study on recent lessons, so I am trying to re-enforce this knowledge, even if I am going fast.
Bunpro:
I have a 3 day streak on Bunpro. I am account level 9, with 117 items studied. I have studied 28 of 127 Grammar items for JLPT N5, and 58 of 1100 vocab items.
I checked out Bunpro a couple days ago and started my free trial there, and so far I like it. I wanted “Wanikani/SRS but for grammar” and so far it seems to do that well. Wanikani is my main focus, but I hope to maintain these two simultaneously. Bunpro is where I’m really telling myself not to push too hard, since that site will let you do as many lessons as you want.
Also, a couple days ago when I found Bunpro, I did a practice JLPT N5 test. I have a weird amalgam of knowledge I’ve learned via osmosis being into Vocaloid, and I’ve also reviewed the beginning bit of Tae Kim’s Guide to Japanese Grammar (3.1 ~ 4.8), but I’ve never explicitly studied for the N5. I got 43/67 overall (64.2%), with 71% on Vocab, 50% on Grammar/Reading, and 70% on Listening. The listening score in particular surprised me, since I felt like I did worse on that. Vocab makes sense, I pick up vocab words passively a lot, and despite having a pretty good grasp on N5 grammar, reading was pretty hard. Overall, my N5 score was higher than I thought it’d be, despite not actively studying much in the last few years.
Project Sekai:
The last activity I want to commit to is some form of listening practice. I don’t have the attention span for TV (I haven’t watched anime in years), and usually sitting down to read is hard, but I want to commit to reading at least 4 chapters of Project Sekai a day. I’m not at a high enough level to read it in Japanese, so I’m reading on the global server in English with Japanese audio. Some day, when I’m more advanced, maybe I’ll start a book club thread reading the Japanese version 
Yesterday I read 5 chapters of Project Sekai. For context, I’m currently on Event 25, “Wonder Magical Showtime!”, Tsukasa’s 1st focus. Events in Sekai are akin to volumes of manga, and take around as long to read in my experience. The global server is on a 1 year tape delay and is currently on Event 146, with the Japanese server being on event 183. There are 8 main chapters per event, and depending on the cards I own in-game, anywhere from 0 to 10 side chapters per event.
This probably isn’t the world’s best listening practice, but I’ve wanted to catch up on the game’s story to begin with, so using this as an excuse for Japanese study might be good. When I close my eyes and listen to the voice lines before reading, I usually can follow most of what is being said. Even if it’s not exact, I normally can get the gist of the message. I hope in time to understand completely, and someday re-read the story from the start on the Japanese server.
Thank you for checking out my progress log. Not every post is gonna be this long
