1500 characters should be more than enough for HSK-3 level reading. I just checked the vocabulary list for HSK-4 I downloaded in 2017 (but I guess it didn't change much in the meantime) and it contains only 1200 words. So my recommendation for you is to start reading now rather than learning another 1500 characters you won't have much use for until your vocabulary is much more advanced.
- _hao 7y agoThanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I've taken a small break from studying (just reviews since I finished this experiment). I might follow your advice while still going forward with the second book, but not with the 50 chars/day pace, I'll perhaps tone it down. You're right that HSK1-3 (or even 4 as you suggest) are very trivial in terms of vocabulary.
