Nice! Good luck, and keep us updated on your progress. 😃

My 2 cents on Kanji - which I know you might not need - follow a method. I think Remembering the Kanji is extremely valuable, even if you don't follow its exact order or keywords. Kanji Kohii is a companion app that's extremely helpful. The basic method is assign each Kanji a unique keyword, then use flashcards to write them from memory. Building up each one from meaningful parts.

For readings, I'd recommend skipping memorizing them. What you really want are words. JPDB and WaniKani do pretty good about surfacing this, and are viable RTK alternatives or companions.

Kodansha Kanji Learner course is also out there, along with a senhence-reader set of books. I don't like this option as much, but it's there. Having common Kanji at the beginning at least makes sense.
