Would you stop Wanikani at level 42

This is what I wrote in my Level 60 post precisely about this topic:

@ekuroe

If I were to do WK all over again (no, I’m not resetting, thank you very much) I would go at a manageable pace until level 20~, slow down to one month per level, and then stop around Level 40.

Why did I continue until Level 60?
Simply because I’m a completionist, I knew I could if I wanted to, and I thought it would be cool to leave a Level 60 post floating around in the forums.

Of course it does depend on personal goals, but generally I feel it’s unnecessary to go all the way to Level 60, and more efficient to invest that time in reading.
