I admire how you keep working on your Japanese even with a big review queue. It’s easy to get discouraged, not so easy to keep going. So, good work!

@KanjiOzeki It’s hard to keep being motivated when I’m struggling to rise my accuracy and seeing it actually drop. It was fine initially but as I was adding more and more lessons, the leeches accumulated, so I was experimenting with different approaches.
On the other hand It’s fun to test new tactics - people eventually are able to learn Japanese, so I believe that if I just put work every day, eventually something will work for me.
Currently I’ve set my goal to try everyday do some leech training - recent mistakes, and anki for the failed answers in the recent mistakes - I have a list for those and I used GPT to generate some anki cards with sentences containging those words.
We’ll see if it’ll produce better results in the coming months 
I’ve produced some more graphs to indicate reviews distribution based on their overdue %value
I’m currently trying to keep Enlighted under 150%, and getting out of 250%+

Today first time in forever I’ve hit my target accuracy (80%)
I’m even more happy because today I mainly reviewed most overdue items. Grain of salt is that there were only apprentice and guru items there, but still 気持ちいい (those were over 2,5 times overdue)

I’ve made some additional statistics to help me understand where I’m struggling the most, because for the last couple of weeks I seem to reach a plateau.
Also I’ve built a forecast for where I can input reviews per day, mix of items based on my reorder omega custom review mix, and some other stuff (taking into account that the more overdue and higher srs stage the item is, the harder it is to recall, etc). Based on that it seems that nothing replaces doing more reviews per day (duh). It may be painful but should cut those most overdue items faster.
Keeping only 100 per day left me in a state where i’m hovering around 65 accuracy, but even with a 70 accuracy it would take me two months to go under 2000.
with 200 a day and assuming I’ll sustain 70 accuracy I would reach zero review in little over a month (hard to imagine it being true )
Of course I might have got something wrong in the calculation of the forecast (when I start to do more enlightened I might hit a brick wall) but still it motivates me more to increase the number of reviews for at least a month, and review the new statistics to improve the the simulation (or hopefully I would not need that upon seeing 0 on the reviews for the day 
)
