The fastest way to improve your reading speed, coming from someone better than every single one of you losers (especially quizslave), is to develop an innate sense of familiarity with the language such that you can skim your eyes over the text and pick up the majority of relevant information from a glance at the words without slowing down to sound them out, piece together grammar, or any of that shit. Just live and breath the Japanese. It's that simple.

Oh, I see. Sorry, been away for a while now. I see Jamal is still tanking the signal noise ratio.
Honestly this MIA method isn't that bad, all things considered. The passive learning bullshit is acceptable overhead if it also gets a person to read more.

I miss the Steve memes of classic DJT. Now it's all just this Matt guy.

Genki's not bad, college courses are usually shit only because of their pace (designed to be passed by children who don't even really want to be there)

You are right about learning kanji meanings, it will make vocab easier in the long run.
But you don't have to do all 2032 at once before you even start anything else. 1000 kanji is enough to read easy stories.
Reading is the #1 way to get good so you should start doing it asap
