I feel you
I was also busy with school
Certainly reset… that number of lessons is also abnormally high
What do you mean? It’s only 140 sets of 10 reviews!
Happened to me too, twice actually… I got up to 2000 reviews because I went on a break and came back to find the impossible challenge ahead of me.
The first time I tried getting past the 2k reviews I failed because I didn’t keep consistency. I tried forcing myself to do ~100-200 reviews per day but I only lasted a few weeks and it was very demoralizing because my actual knowledge was rusty (which meant that my accuracy with SRS up/down was about 60%). Every day I would do 150 reviews and 70 of those items would be back in my review queue in the next few days. This meant that I actually had to effectively do around 3k reviews, just to re-learn the things I was still learning before going on a break. I went down to a 1.2k review queue.
When I came back about a month ago, I found success by changing my strategy slightly. I no longer prioritized getting a lot of reviews in a single day, but instead aiming to progress a little every day (regardless of whether I was doing 50 reviews or 250). I also changed my WK settings to order items in review queue by SRS level (such that the items I got wrong would be back at the very front of the queue, allowing me to re-learn them faster). I was actually keeping a decent SRS accuracy of about 70-80% with this method. After about a month of steady reviews, I just barely managed to hit the 0 review queue! This is purely momentary pleasure though since in a few days I’ll be back at 400. Damn you, WK.
Good luck soldier. Remember, there’s no time limit.
I have 141 lessons because they keep adding new stuff and I never got around to doing any of them.
Btw, this is the sole reason I created WK Distraction Blocker, it’s meant to force your hand to do your reviews instead of putting it off, because it’s uncomfortable
shameless self promotion is on point
I have 1797 lessons. Should I be worried?
Yes, you are clearly abusing reorder script
I would reset to level 30 and try if I could manage that. Then reset to lower levels if it doesn’t work.
No, it can be fixed with reorder script, if you aren’t aware of it yet.
I am? Damn. I’ll keep wading through it all.
If you skip vocab, your level means literally nothing. So you’re more or less gaming the system and get very little out of it. If it’s a problem to waste time, then you should be worried, if not, continue wasting your time.
Well, to be fair, your level still doesn’t mean a great deal even if you don’t skip the vocab.
So true. I don’t think levels matter much.
True, but the point of WK is to learn how to read, if you skip the vocab you don’t really learn how the kanji is used, more like a description of them. Which in itself is a waste of time.
How do you put things on vacation mode? I think this may be a good thing for those of us who needs a few days or weeks off for one reason or another.
Well, I’m not going to skip vocabulary, but you are probably right in that the vocabulary is important to consolidate the kanji. I’m getting a lot out of Wanikani, thank you very much, but maybe I should get shot of some of the scripts.
