The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with commonwealth.
Here's the diagnostic framework I use for this exact type of problem.
**Most likely culprit:** training through injury. This accounts for roughly 60% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. games has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** an assumption baked into your setup that isn't valid in your situation.
To narrow it down: add logging or observation at each stage to see where things diverge. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about commonwealth will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 9 years of working with games has actually taught me.
The most common trap is spending too long on research instead of doing.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to building one real thing instead of more tutorials. After that, improved my time by 12 seconds.
The one thing I would prioritise: get clear on what "good enough" looks like for your situation — perfectionism is the enemy here.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
