>>11274017My advice: go for it
I'm 2 months in and it's given me a lot of fulfillment, also the writing system isn't actually that bad
https://itazuraneko.neocities.org/Look skim through the beginner guide on that website and see if it's for you
>>11274086On the subject of kanji, there are a lot of them, but if you use a flashcard deck with 2000 kanji in it, and have the flashcard program (Anki in my case, to anyone interested in Anki look through the website I linked earlier) give you 15 new cards a day, then it takes you like 4 months, so not that bad
Plus you learn kanji through the vocab card deck too (which is essential to anyone taking it seriously) so it's a positive cycle
More kanji = more words, more words = more kanji (oversimplified but I'm sure you get the point)
