The 0/0 Streak Challenge

^ I think this is everything you can see in the screenshot:)

Checking in for level 5, now on a 4 level streak.

Hid mid-level last night and so finished off the last of the lessons this morning.

8 days later, will slow down a lot from now since I’m pretty much caught up with where I got before. I studied radicals up to around level 10 though, so it’s easier to deal with unknown kanji during immersion.

Checking in for my level 4 progress, savoring this sweet 0/0 while I can before guru’ing 33 radicals and 14 kanji tonight, prompting another lessonpocalypse.
I’m getting the feeling that my vocab retention is starting to falter a bit. Had several guru’d vocab fall back to apprentice lately due to just drawing a complete blank during review… Might be from me going the speed demon route. May be time for a refresher via self study.

I had entirely forgotten about the number of radicals in the early levels

Right? They throw a lot of them at you. I have been looking at the future level radical list longingly knowing that soon it will wind down.
I think level 4 is where it peaks in terms of radical quantity, which is nice. It will all be over soon.

Level 5 is the peak in total lessons in a level at 197, after which there is a general downward trend. You also get more used to learning kanji as you go, so I feel like WK gets easier the further along I get:) (the only thing making it harder is that the number of visually similar kanji you know increases steadily…)

Level 6 0/0

We’re Level 16 0/0 buddies - nice work! This is my second level in a row at 0/0 after coming back from long, long break.

You are 16 hours ahead of me now :slight_smile: GZ :slight_smile:

Trading places :slight_smile:

If the start of my level 6 is any indication though, you might overtake me again.

Well 76 open lessons and i still got 100 items in apprentice so still need to work on some until i can fully clear all the lessons :slight_smile:

Level 60, streak 58. Yay! :crabigator:

Since it’s sort of a celebratory moment, let me add a screenshot of my whole dashboard for a change.

Thanks for all the encouragement! You’re all awesome! In the end, all that was needed to get here is a bit of persistence and effort, applied over a lo-o-ong time. I’m sure everyone will get there if you keep at it!


Thank you! :durtle_cat:

Wow, that sounds awesome! Good luck!

That’s just the beginning! Starting around 40s there are maybe 2-3 radicals per level, sometimes even none at all. That’s how the “fast levels” were born – in them, you can learn enough kanji to level up right after the level starts, so levels are doable in just ~3.5 days if you want to (although I’d say it’s not advisable unless you really want to go that fast – the amount of reviews would be pretty demotivating to most people). The overall number of items also goes down a bit in the later levels: it gets to around 120-140 items instead of ~160-200 that you get in the earlier levels.

Oops almost forgot to post my lv 17 #72 streak! ^>^ I got there some days ago. This is today’s dashboard. :slight_smile:

Getting new lessons tomorrow.

A blessed time, I’m looking forward to it. Although I don’t know if I’m actually going to go fast :thinking: I mean, with fewer items, you’re bound to level up a little quicker anyway, provided you keep your pace. Did you do the fast levels fast? If so, how was your experience? But you’re probably going to make a lv. 60 post anyway, right?

Just finished all the lessons and reviews :slight_smile: LvL 6 here I am :).

Here some stats :slight_smile:

Looks like i need 8-9 days to clear a level :P.

There’s a poll in the Heaven and Reality subforums from my last run where you can get some stats as to what people did when it comes to speeding up or slowing down during those final 20 levels. :slight_smile:

I think most people did speed up, but some just kept a steady pace. Some even slowed down a bit due to the amount of leeches you’ve accumulated throughout all levels at that point.

You’ll just have to adjust to your own situation I feel. Mostly regarding how much time you have to spend on WK reviews on a single day. Going fast means big increases in review numbers after all. Expect 250-350 á day or more some days. ^^; Not everyone’s cup of tea.

Level 30 – streak 30/30.

@BadWeather Congrats on reaching level 60 – your perseverance is admirable and it paid off! :tada:
Now would be the perfect time to treat yourself to some cake (provided you like cake in the first place). :cake: :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s true. Since we’re doing reviews every day for (probably) years, this journey is just bound to be full of adjustments to daily life, since routine changes from time to time as life changes. With the fast levels it’s not going to be different. I don’t think I’ll be able to do more than 200 reviews every day, but we’ll see. Honestly, I don’t know if I should look forward to this time or not. WaniKani has been part of my daily life for so long now, I can’t even imagine what life would be like without it anymore :rofl:
