Quit video games and get off of 4chan, it would probably fix your brain's pleasure sensors. I quit video games when I taught myself Japanese, with the exception of Persona 4/5 which I played all the way through in 日本語.

lmao, well no shit it didn't work for you.
There are plenty of people who live in Japan that do NOT know Japanese. It is a complex and different enough language that it cannot be obtained through osmosis, especially the written portion of it.
Best case scenario, living in Japan would net you the same level of ability in Japanese as the stereotypical Chinaman has in English. As far as reading/writing goes, you CANNOT learn it without dedicated, focused study.
Understanding the written Japanese language is crucial to becoming anything more than a parrot of other speakers. If you want to learn to formulate thoughts and express yourself in the language, it can't be skipped.
