Why does hitting 500 Japanese kanji flashcards in Anki 2.1.55 feel like a breakthrough?

Just logged my 500th kanji entry in Anki (v2.1.55) using the Joyo‑2136 list with SM‑2 intervals tuned to a 1.3 factor.\n\n- Set up Cloze‑type cards for onyomi/kunyomi combos, added mnemonics from the Heisig "Remembering the Kanji" 3rd ed.\n- Switched the lapse multiplier to 0.35 after noticing the default 0.5 was too aggressive for my retention curve.\n- Integrated the new "KanjiStrokeCount" add‑on (v1.4.2) to auto‑populate stroke order diagrams.\n\nI know 500 cards is peanuts compared to native fluency, but the retention rate jumped from ~68% to 84% in the last two weeks. Feels like I've cracked the optimal spacing ratio for my brain.\n\nAnyone else think this is just hype? Or have you hit a similar "milestone" and still feel stuck? Let's hear the counter‑arguments – I’m ready for the reality check.
