Be careful. Swedish and Icelandic hang out together and it'll be hard to hide. 'Hey why are you trying to inflect my adjectives?'

? (I just made up these sentences, I hope they aren’t somehow wrong and thus taking away from my point about the pronouns and word order.)
Sentence 1, hennes because it’s part of the subject, sentence 2 sin because it’s the object. Sentence 3, deras barn (and not sina barn) because it’s a new subject (och attaches the two main clauses). Sentence 4, sina barn because it’s an object. Here’s hoping. Word order! Understanding the word order lets the pronouns come on their own. I hope.

It doesn't help that the translator took some liberties in leaving out phrases, whole sentences, even a paragraph here and there, as well as playing with word choices for whatever reason. And I'm only a few chapters in. What else makes it un-fun is my vestibular disorder. (I'm not going into more details on that but if you're unfamiliar and curious, here you go.) I need a different strategy other than torturing myself for a couple of hours everyday to the degree that only LR seems to torture me.

It feels flaky changing course so early on, but I'm unapologetic. It's only me I have to answer to

Worrying about the details and not seeing big picture, probably. I have a feeling regardless of what I do with (or without) Anki, I'll be just fine and will make progress. It's a lot of mental work to get out of traps one sets for oneself, usually without even realizing they are traps.
In any case I've dropped it to 30 new words/day because I'm just not retaining enough of the 50/day to have that be worthwhile time spent.
