The radicals are mostly to help you get better at chunking the kanji into smaller parts and also for the mnemonics. As the kanji get more complex, the mnemonics are more helpful imo, at least for the kanji and vocab that don’t use the phonetic composition. I wish I had used this script from the beginning. It tells you if a kanji is made of phonetic components or if it is a phonetic component.
