Not that I have even started past lesson 2 in RTK. I have the general idea of how they work but is it easy to add kanji to each on reading? To clarify let's say I use kanji chains and achieve KanKen lvl2; if I decide to go to lvl 1 will all the new kanji be hard to learn or how would that work exactly? Or would I be good enough to just be able to learn them without kanji chains, just be encountering them in reading jbooks? Sorry if this doesn't seem clear but I'm really far away from this and attempting to lay out some kind of path for learning.

I admit I don't have much experience with "extending" chains I made previously, however based on the memory palace principle, there's no reason why you couldn't add more to an existing chain. When you more elements to the chain/story you need to take a moment to look at each one and find relationships with the ones already in the chain. I think it will be easier to add "junctions", or to extend rather than trying to insert new elements in the middle of a story, if you already created links from A to B, it will be easier to add C at the end or beginning than in the middle.
With that said, once you are familiar with many signal primitives, you may not need to come back to the chains/stories you've created. If the chains/stories exists already and you have the onyomi mnemonic setup for each, you can also add characters in a group purely in the mind's eye without writing anything down.

I've got a quick question about them.
Why?
It seems like such a waste of time. I tried for a little while but I ended up feeling that reading/watching/listening and then doing the sentence method with unknown vocab I pulled seemed like a much better use of my time.

Well I think the only thing people can agree on is that no one method works for everyone. Perhaps the chains work better for people who are visual learners, instead of aural or kinetic.
If you've tried it and it didn't work for you, then try something else. But don't be-little them to everyone else, possibly turning someone off a resource they'd find really good.
