No doubt there's a few:  the strength of the original story, the point at which said kanji resides along the path to long-term retention, the slight changes wrought by novel fonts or unexpected forms in the odd character, and so on.

But the biggest hurdle, for this reader, is rapidly advancing presbyopia.   I've been so spoilt by all those big characters on the backlit screen, over there in the Review section.

Off to the chemist to buy stronger readers .... reckon being able to SEE 'em will help.
