I'm not saying "don't do RtK!", but it's ok to try the method CureDolly suggested. But this is not to say that Rtk is useless, I did it myself, but only the lite version, and without it I'd been lost! But if I could go back in time I would pick the kanjidamage set, and learn all the other kanji as I learn new words with them. But this is only IMHOAh right. Yeah I guess limiting factors to learning kanji in context would be complexity* and how frequently you re-encounter them after the initial learning. Which is why I was surprised by your choice of kanji ( 挨拶, 颯爽, 咄嗟に): 挨拶 is maybe not complex but (as one of my leeches) I find it counter-intuitive, anything with 爽 feels rare, and I think this is the first time I've seen 咄嗟に in kanji.
*for example even if I've seen 蜘蛛、蝙蝠、菠薐草、憂鬱 a few times, I still can't produce them.
