I'm loving this new course structure because I now can get through a lesson much faster now (characters and words/vocab), which is an amazing feeling. But then I get to sentences and with 50 new sentences it takes days to get through! I know there's no way around this. It definitely changing the pacing of a lesson. Before, with the pacing being very consistent (character, vocab, sentence), the overall progress of a lesson seemed very slow and sometimes demoralizing to the extreme. But now with this pacing, there are just 2 parts: the words that can take 4-5 days depending on how many I learn a day (which is reasonable for me) and then I feel another 3-4 days just to learn all the sentences. The pacing is split, with a 'bursty' start (vocab) finished with a sluggish end (sentences). Anyway - just my experience thus far!

Interesting feedback, I'll be curious how this continues to go for you. Of course, you're welcome to mix up the previous levels sentences with the next level's Hanzi & Words if you want. The two tracks don't necessarily have to move at the same pace.
