That feel when you get past frame 500 only to find Heisig rickrolls you and gets lazy with 3 letter word stories that aren't really helpful. That feel when you have to resort to Revrtk for the rest of the kanji. That feel when you feel like giving up.

Yeh it does start off fun, but it starts getting hard around the "fiesta" primitive. Don't worry though, stick at it and it gets easier from frame 1000 onwards.

The satisfaction of completing the book is immense!

Good luck, it's quite a journey to get through.

I do have a few suggestions for what worked for me. Obviously your going to have to find what works for you.

Don't worry about learning all of the kanji. If you have lots of trouble remembering a particular kanji, just skip it. You can always come back to it much later if needed.

There is a smaller set named RTK Lite, which focuses on the most common kanji, that is about half the length, something to consider if you feel things are going too slow.

Also, since you know Hiragana, I highly recommend a Japanese keyword along with the English Keywords. This helps a lot if you start to mix similar keywords up. (Just for example: I=吾, oneself=自, self=己.)
