I can write fast in the English/Roman script, in the Devanagari script, in the Arabic script, and very soon, in Hiragana and Katakana, but I can’t fathom how one can write Kanji fast. It’s like asking someone to draw rapidly, and Kanji are literally logograms that are drawn.

1. I think your perspective of writing fast is how much space you cover and not by information encoded.
   Hence, writing kanji IS slower in terms of space covered but not in information encoded.

   also kanji are made of radicals that are basically written as if its a individual character, and for example 2 radicals positioned correctly are a full word.

2. Why do you consider scripts such as the Arabic (Abjad), Devanāgarī (Abugida), & Roman (Alphabet) scripts to be “written”, but Chinese Characters (Phono-Semantic Logo-Syllabograms) to be “drawn”?

   “Drawn” certainly sounds a bit more daunting than “written” in terms of speed, but perhaps changing your mindset here would be a good place to start.

   As for your question, perhaps 行書 is something you will want to study

The examples I showed there are taken from samples for the semi-cursive section of a handwriting exam. Its standards are based on calligraphy, but your average person will also intuitively connect strokes in a similar way to gain speed. This is because they follow stroke order, but just lift their pens less.

4. You said you’ll be writing in hiragana and katakana soon… you clearly haven’t practiced Kanji so it’s okay just practice them lol 😝
