Not sure what you want to know, but my biggest barrier for fluid reading was definitely grammar above anything else. Being able to recognize an idiom or a subordinate clause is much harder than recognizing a character. Heisig's main advantage is in writing.

I spent literally hours on just a couple of pages at first, and it took me like a week to get through the first 30 pages of Index. I then put it away for a while, and started playing more video games (specifically, Golden Sun DS, Pokemon Black, and FFIX) in Japanese, which were easier because there's less narration and more dialogue. Coming back, I started reading Haganai, which was really not that bad at all compared to my initial experience. I really think the most important thing to do is to find something you can really dedicate a lot of time to without becoming bored, and then dedicate a lot of time to it. Banging your head on a wall isn't useful.
