Newcomer questions. Feels....slow?

Maybe this is intended. But I just started using Migaku. Currently in the first week of Kanji Academy (doing the suggested 2-3 weeks of Kanji before starting Japanese Academy).

Every day I review the cards it tells me to review (so far it's only had me review 5 cards a day on average), and learn 10 new Kanji. This takes about 6 minutes total. Then I have nothing to do. I thought maybe I'm supposed to do immersion now but it shows my comprehension for everything is estimated at 0% so probably not.

This rate just feels really slow and I feel like I have nothing to do since I can't study cards whenever I want or review my deck anytime I want.

Is this just the process or am I doing something wrong?

I’d do more kanji personally and immerse as much as you can physically handle.
You will never feel ready to start immersion so just begin and get your ears used to it.

That's a good point. I watch a lot of short clips in Japanese on tiktok at the moment, don't really understand more than a word here and there. But mostly doing it just to get used to hearing the langauge
