I finished both Genki volumes, and now I feel like i am stuck in a rut, not knowing where to go next. I love the format of Genki, and how it gives you lots of exercises to practice with. Any textbooks that are a level up in difficulty, that has a similar format?

Tobira or the “integrated approach to intermediate Japanese” which is made by the GENKI folks
I also bought tobira (both the workbook and textbook) after finishing genki 2, but i never really got past the couple first chapters and dropped it before starting immersion. Tobira is a useful resource, but i think genki 2 puts you around a level where you can start learning more complex grammar/vocab from exposure and making flash cards
The 2 book Quartet series was recently released by the same publisher as Genki and is essentially the direct continuation.
It’s a slightly easier transition to Quartet than Tobira etc and is highly recommended.
日本!
The Quartet books are pretty similar to Genki! There’s 2 of them.
