I actually reset to level 46, not 47. It took me over a year to get back up to 47 thanks to having to whittle down the massive review pile, and I’ll hit 48 any day now.
Also as far as “outpacing me” goes, it’s worth nothing that I went from level 1 to 60 in only 353 days on my first time through WK. It’s not that hard as long as you’re willing to just power through the reviews. But that doesn’t mean you’re actually learning anything.
At this point, I could just burn through my review pile and speedrun back up to 60 if I wanted to, but I don’t.
