I just started the book from the beginning after a long hiatus about a week or two ago, and I'd say I've solidly learned 300+ kanji in that time. No readings yet, but it's not hard to connect vocabulary words you know with kanji after you've been through Heisig's method. AJATT: Learn Japanese through immersion anytime, anywhere.

Oh, my dear savings. I have a book called "Easy Kanji", but I don't like it very much.

But I agree with you that learning kanji is useful even tho time consuming. I have just added 10 extra flashcards so I got to 140 kanji learnt now. Many people think learning kanji individually is a waste of time, better learning them when met in phrases or in compound words...but I personally do not agree. Yes when you meet a compound word you will learn those kanji with 1 reading anyway, but thinking that will be enough is, in my opinion, not enough. Like digging out a little pebble of gold out of a mine and call yourself satisfied. The satisfaction I have when I look up for a word and see the examples and I can read those kanji in the examples or I can look up for a compound kanji by its reading only coz I know the individual kanji is huge. For example I had always met the verb "eat" and I had always ignored the existence of other readings (such as はむ、くう、くらう). The one you find most is taberu and you live happily with it. The first time I met 朝食 even tho I didn't know what it was (well, guessed it knowing individual kanji), took me like 10 seconds to grab my dictionary and look up for the exact reading. 暗闇の中 歩くしかねぇ everything’s gonna be okay 恐れることねぇ 辛い時こそ胸を張れ

its hard sometimes when your trying to decide where to go next in studies.. i hit "the wall" a while back, but when you wanna be fluent, you gotta go on no matter what! AJATT is a good resource for learning but getting around that website is like trying to navigate around spaghetti.
