I am so sick of this easy and useless vocab and the repetitiveness of it all…I pass Level 3 tomorrow morning, please tell me it’ll get harder and more useful soon…
Some are repetitive sure, for some reinforcement early on, but I dunno if useless is a good word for any of it.
This set, though, featuring one word that uses the on readings and two basically exception readings is very much not even repetitive.
To answer the question yeah it gets harder, I don’t remember when exactly but you’re probably not that far from getting out of some of the simple ones at the start? I don’t say the above to be pedantic, but the reading differences are huge so if you didn’t offhand reach for that one without thinking about it, make sure you’re taking notice of that.

You’re starting with the most basic of kanjis so it will be pretty simple to start with unfortunately, but that also means you should be advancing relatively quickly! Daisoujou brings up a good point too, many visually simple kanji can be read many different ways when combined with other kanji, so it’s good to know as many readings as you can right away.
Depending on how much Japanese you already know going into Wanikani, it can take a while to find a new kanji you haven’t seen before. It took me until level 10+ to learn a kanji I hadn’t encountered, but! It took me until 水中 which is level 2, to learn a brand new vocabulary word and read it correctly for the first time which was super motivating.
Trust me, the more kanji you start learning it will get more difficult. Wanikani is assuming you don’t have any background in Japanese besides knowing how to read hiragana and katakana so it starts with the bare basics, but it will get harder.

There will be some more repetition with counters, languages, etc.
It sounds like you might have some prior knowledge of Japanese? There will be some Kana only words too. Just power through what you consider simple ones.
Do not worry, it’ll gt harder soon enough.

Plus you’re on a flash card site. “Repetitive” is what flash cards IS. That’s the whole point.
I mean, I get it. You’re not being literal, just expressing frustration. The good news is pretty soon you’ll have so many (repetitive) flash cards that it will seem less repetitive because you’re seeing so many. Hang in there a few more levels, at least until you start getting things in Master stage.

Yeah as some people have pointed out in this thread, I do have prior knowledge. I wish there was a way to go through levels faster. I have reviews set to 100 (the max) per day, I always get them right. It still takes like five days to get the amount needed to rank up which is annoying. I’m excited for when the difficulty will spike and I’ll learn new Kanji I haven’t seen before.

Ahh, yeah that part makes sense then. I do think it’s a flaw of WK that you can’t skip things you already know. So much so that I don’t know exactly where I’d draw the line, but if someone had enough of a start on kanji, I’d advise not bothering with the site. You can look ahead on your own at what the levels contain and see how soon new things will show up.

Can’t you just do all reviews like always?
Afaik the limit is just visual.
I don’t think this is possible. If it is, please tell me how
I’ve never seen a review limit. Can you show a screenshot? For as long as I’ve used Wanikani, there has been no hard cutoff on the daily review workload. It’s only been limited by how many lessons you did over the past many months and how accurate you were during past reviews, like any SRS.

To answer the question, at or after level 5 or so are where the most basic elementary items start giving way to less elementary ones.

The limit for 100 is probably the lessons limit, not the reviews.

In my case level 5 for me was still quite easy. I guess it depends how much prior knowledge there is.

You have to do all the radicals and kanji to progress through the course, but in your shoes, I would skip the vocab I already know (as in, if you don’t pick it for a lesson, it will never become a review, and you can progress in WK as long as you do all the radicals and kanji). There is a lesson picker you would use for this. I am not currently subscribed, so if you haven’t discovered this feature maybe someone who uses it can help you.

It can be done like that, but it means, you can never again select the “auto-lessons”, as it will pick from the pile that you do not want. What is more cumbersome, to select the lessons you like for all the 60 levels or just do them, I do not know.
