Depends on your IQ and willpower. If you're weak in both then don't even bother starting

How long would it take to be able to read it? I can pick up verbal japanese pretty easy but I mainly want to use it so i can play retro vidya which requires reading

If you go hardcore 12 hours a day you can do it in half a year. Still won't be perfect though

the characters dont take too long to learn, first thing i was able to do consistently is read. but then you need to learn the words and kanji which is an ongoing thing and kanji can get all sorts of fucked up. they say kanji aint necessary but i dont think thats true.
