So, I tried a thing where I’d take on new grammar points for 30 minutes. I massively underestimated the time it would take to internalize and comprehend these grammar points. It’s not like Wanikani where SRS on a single point of kanji is straightforward. A single grammar point on Bunpro may very well have casual, polite, casual negative, and polite negative, have different forms based on the final mora, etc.
It’s taking days and days to get the SRS to kind of sort itself out where I’m seeing the stuff I’m still struggling with and not really seeing the stuff that I got more easily.
Next time around, I’ll make it a point to take fewer and study them much more intensively, and make heavy use of the Cram feature to keep hammering on those points.

…then beware of the Balrog 😉
The thing about Bunpro, is that it’s totally customizable. You can do as many points as you want, in any order. You can remove points from SRS if you want. You can turn off ghosts. Etc. I generally find that reviews on Bunpro aren’t too bad – I mean, there’s fewer than 1000 grammar points total there. And ghosts I find that I remember the sentence very easily.
But I generally find that if I leave ghosts on, then grammar points I don’t learn the first time around quickly get hammered home. If you’re getting overwhelmed for reviews, you don’t have to do all of them at once, and definitely just stop adding new grammar for a few days.
You’re telling me, I’m on a mad study spree and I’m averaging 100 to 200 reviews a day in bunpro. Send help
I had this same problem LOL It’s a really good site for learning basic grammar and a good review tool. For more in-depth nuisances and difficult grammar I find it lacking. Always had to end up searching for stuff outside of the site.
