that's pretty good, I still think anki is pretty good for initially learning kanji, since after that it'll be easier to remember words that use what you know just by reading them without having to grind them on anki. here's another pic that might or might not be accurate.

>Did you do RTK first?
nope, I just did some Core then just kept mining my own words and playing games/reading a couple of VNs and learning kanji through that vocab.
>How is your listening ability?
Lately I've watched some youtube vids in japanese and I found I can understand almost all of it, and I haven't even watched japanese live action shows or movies, mostly just got it from watching anime, which is still subbed, but I try not to pay attention to the subs most of the time anyways
>Do you have any regrets or recommendations after achieving decent reading ability?
I regret I haven't read any complex VNs or books or stuff like that in over a year and generally been slacking on japanese study besides from what I passively learn every day by googling and reading random internet shit. I think if I had read more intensively I could be reading Muramasa right about now.
And recommendations idk, english definitions from dictionaries are garbage for things that aren't simple nouns, you should try to understand japanese definitions in japanese dictionaries as soon as you can, the meaning will stick so much better than some word the people that made the english dictionary decided to stick on it.

actually some weeks ago I got put in a groupchat with 2 japanese guys, probably under the age of 15, and I've written stuff in japanese and it doesn't seem they've found out I'm a gaijin yet, one of my proudest achievements. I wish there were cool japanese places to talk in where they aren't super polite and also interesting, I've actually barely practiced writing yet I find out that I somehow passively learn how to do it, maybe because I tend to make up sentences or conversations in my mind like the autist I am. I used to do the same with english too until I could just think in english, I guess that helped me become fluent as well
