Way back when in 2008, I finished RTK on RevTK in about 4 months with another milestone a month or so later where 80% of the deck was in the last column (1 month or more spacing). It was this excessive time dedication for self study (about 1-2 hours per day) that made me suggest the RTK Lite and later advocating using 2001.Kanji.Odyssey in RTK order.
Now in the Suggested Guide to Japanese Literacy group of courses I've been posting on Memrise, the RTK+2k1KO is pushed big time so people can get into grammar, vocabulary and most importantly the Japanese Drama Immersion which is where the real learning will take place eventually.
Don't get me wrong, kanji via RTK is very important and super useful. However, unless one is learning Japanese full time at a language institute or equivalent, it's better to have a divide and conquer approach that gets people into actual Japanese sooner than later.
