Is it normal for retention to get worse as you learn more words?

Currently learning Japanese, working through Jalup beginner and Kaishi 1.5k. Am ~2/3 of the way through Kaishi, and I'm finding that my retention has been getting worse lately, especially struggling with words that have similar/overlapping kanji and meanings, but I don't have that problem with Jalup.

Why is this, is there a hack to fix it or just keep going and it'll work itself out?
