Three months, two medication changes and one monstrous fight against my mental health later, I’ve done it! I’ve been stuck on level 9 since the start of July, but I’ve finally managed to 0/0 my queue!
Lv 41!
First level on 天国 stage, many more to go. Still keeping my streaks. Fast levels are approaching, I’m undecided if I want to do it really fast at 4 days, or keep my 7 days pace. Probably will just see how I feel on the day. If I will do it in 4 days, somewhat tempted to focus mainly on the kanji/radical with some vocabs, and come back to do the rest of the vocabs later. But that means I will abandon 0/0.
This week I didn’t study enough new grammar at all, kinda got too addicted to gaming instead lol. Gotta try better to catch back up. At least I still kept up with the grammar reviews, no piled up reviews.
I kinda been using this 0/0 thread as my weekly diary at this point, didn’t realise it before somehow lol.
Oof 16 minutes left. Cutting it close.
Took me a long time (19 days?) thanks to lack of sleep leading to some 0 review days.
Anyway here’s to 31 → 32
And even though the screenshot is from Tsurukame, today’s reviews were actually done on Smouldering Durtles.
Lv 42!
Got my 0/0 about a day earlier than my usual. This level somehow felt easier than most of the recent previous levels. I also did some new grammar study, not as much as I wanted, but its not too bad!
If I’m correct, this is the last of the ‘normal level’, every level after this should be ‘fast level’. Will see how I want to handle it. Kanji wise, it looks to be barely more than before, I already do all available kanji in a level before the level’s radical reach guru anyway. Just a few more probably doesnt make any different. Vocab though, that seems painful? Will see.
To make up for the last one taking so long, I did this one fast!
32→33
This doesn’t show it, because it’s Smouldering Durtles (maybe there’s a way and I haven’t found it yet) but over on Tsurukame it says 13h51min left so I’m 0/0 within 24 hours of level up.
Waiting patiently the last reviews of level 7.
I am trying to not rush things, taking my time and doing max 10 lessons per day, don’t want to get overloaded with reviews. I still haven broke my 0/0 streak since starting a couple of months ago
Lv 43!
So this was actually from ytd, but I forgot. This level was the first of the ‘fast level’, somehow the amount of vocabs was pretty low? So it was not harder than normal level to handle.
Lv 44!
2nd of the fast levels. This time it hit hard, I had to do 42 lessons in a day on average to hit that 3.5days goal. I have a feeling this isnt doable long term for me. Might drop the speed down to 5 days instead. Still faster than 7days of normal levels. At 5 days that’s about 30 lessons per day, which is a lot more doable. And would not force me to do 30 kanji lessons within 1hr of leveling up as well.
Level 33 → 34 0/0
Really excited because I want to reach 35 for one of my 2025 goals, preferably before my sub comes up for renewal.
Lv 46!
Still amazed I can keep up with full speed even at fast levels. Still feel I should drop the speed and use the time / mental focus on more grammar instead. Guru items from the 1st fast level started to arrive, and there will be even more reviews than now. Will see if I can handle the workload. I don’t have to do this, but I want to get Wanikani over with and reach lv 60 this year. But at this point I might be addicted to doing Wanikani??
I started reading 雨と君と manga. Pretty easy to read and a relaxing story. There’s no furigana, so thats a pretty good way to practice and reignforce my kanji. Grammar is simple enough to not get in the way as well. I need to get started reading somewhere and I do feel starting with manga is easier than light novel, even if my ultimate goal is to read light novels. Build habit first, then focus on learning / retention, then advancement in the language skills.
