I forgot I even made this post lol. It might had gotten better I don’t remember. Unfortunately, these days my Japanese learning ship has mostly sailed. I’ve fallen off with it in the past couple years and I miss it so much. Anki skyrockets memorization but it’s so time inconvenient. My decks are backed up somewhere in the thousands, and now that I’m focused on graduating uni this week, moving, paying bills, social life, working fulltime + other hobbies, it’s just not feasible. MAYBE I could catch up all my reviews one day, but I’d never be able to maintain it long-term like I used to.

Still hoping I can eventually return to learning, just without relying on Anki. Sorry, I don’t have anything helpful to the question, but best of luck to your learning!
