I reviewed my first 100, and then what?

So, after 100 reviews I was approx 38 % en route to an upgrade. This number is still growing as I guess I am rewarded as being part of concluded nominations, and I am now at 52 % without any further contributions on my side. Currently I am part of 28 accepted nominations, and 10 rejected nominations. A 3:1 acceptance ratio, which I guess is a bit more generous than others I have seen. I also am agreeing on 1 duplicate nomination. I also dropped from Good to Fair in Wayfarer rating, which may be due to deviance from other peoples ratings, or my lack of interaction with the map. (I browse the Wayspot locations in a separate window, and also look up locations in highly detailed Land Registry maps for far better assessments.) Now, are 100 reviews enough for an upgrade? Can I sit and wait for more agreements to tick in? How did it work for you?

I would just keep reviewing. It could take longer for the other 48% to come in. That way, you also get more upgrades.
@KGBc00L-PGO keep reviewing
Are you reviewing for the upgrades only. Just wondering. Am always interested in why people do it. I rarely use upgrades and turned off auto upgrades when I realised I see little point in them. They never really increased or improved a nomination chance.
100 reviews are not enough for an upgrade. You need 100 agreements. Reviews where you disagree with the majority of the reviewers don't count.

I am not reviewing for the upgrades only, but the the chance of getting an upgrade certainly incentivises me to review a lot more of them! (Even though your experience is a bit discouraging.) Then there are two other reasons I want to review: First, to get more Wayspots in non-urban areas; and second, to get better Wayspots in urban areas. Urban areas have both two many Wayspots, and also too much low quality Wayspots. So, what I deem as a good Wayspot is not following the same standard for non-urban areas as for urban areas. I am much more lenient in judging rural nominations. Even so, I guess I am rejecting mostly rural nominations, as some of them obviously are just to have a Pokéstop nearby where the nominator lives, without even remotely qualifying the Wayspot criteria.
They don't improve chance, just voting speed, haha.
You must not be nominating in areas where without an upgrade it takes more than a year to get a response.
If you want more agreements look for a area to set your Bonus Location too.
You'll need 170-200 reviews to get 100 agreements. But it could take a few weeks to resolve nominations you reviewed. So if you want the upgrade faster, do more than 200.
what is a bonus location?? if i set my location to a country filled with reviewers? would this make it easier to get 100 agreements?
Ideally, yes but you also must have a similar idea of the criteria and votes from local reviewers.
If you follow the Niantic Guidelines you should be fine, probable more nominations than your local region (because you are new there).
Your usual-place-of-play, home-location, and bonus-location should all be 250+miles apart. Then they'll pull in more geographic regions, and you won't hit the "no more to review" message.
