Because I'm terribly bad at that, and it seems like the idea is to do all your reps by promising yourself you only have to do one, because you know if you can get started you'll do them all. But I would go, "Just do one. You only have to do one!" and then I would go "I don't believe you! If I do one you're just going to keep telling me to do another, no matter how many I do! I am going to do something else instead!" Is this self-deception?

So, in a way, it's good, it means that you're doing nice things and "being recognized" for that. On the other hand, it really shows lack of creativity. Maybe the author should go through Heisig's book more profoundly and start making nice images to improve his creativity. :D In my opinion, only when something is good does it get plagiarized or copied in some way.

Remember that if learning Japanese becomes addictive, you may need to put some limits on it to keep it in control. For example, with Kanji, I reviewed more than 100 in a day and studied (missed or new cards) no more than 30 a day to force my workload to spread out. Reason I add caution is that many here probably have other things going on in their lives. It’s very easy to let other (important) things slide to get extra Japanese study." lol, totally get you. If you start doing more than 7 hours of reps a day, that's going to consume a significant part of your life outside japanese. That jjtfblog seems to outright copy large parts of the formatting and the text of this site.

I don't know about Dholuo but we are taught at least the 4声 in Chinese, there's no way a native speaker wouldn't know about those. “I have to add caution on the other end of the spectrum.
