Isn’t it annoying to get all new mnemonics? And since you have to start over regardless why didn’t you start all over on wanikani?

> at level 28 I was far better at kanji recognition than I was at any other relevant language skill

Ironically that is what RTK recommends students. Learn all the meaning and readings of kanji and then start learning the language.

Kanji in Context targets intermediate/advanced students that already know at least a few hundred kanji, and it doesn't provide mnemonics or radicals or anything. It's fundamentally just a list of words to memorize, which through doing so teaches you the most common/jōyō readings. There's a bit more to it than that with the workbooks, etc. but overall it's much more streamlined that WaniKani.
