I would probably add vocabularies in two ways.

  • By level as I go though WaniKani
    • I thought about stop doing this as well, but sometimes it’s just 許せない.
  • Sporadically from reading

Probably anyone can add, as I made every level a Wiki.

Really wish this one was on WK! Got very confused when I met it in the wild, that 天 could have another reading. I feel like it’s a common enough word that it’s worth teaching too, seeing as all the planets are already taught.
