There you go, now you can read approximately 3% of all Chinese text (if I remember correctly). Congratulations!
But what is more important: if you've stuck around so long to arrive here, you've already completed the most difficult part of learning Chinese characters! I've introduced a lot of different concepts along the way: Pinyin initials and finals, mnemonic symbols, tone to location mapping, and so on. From here it is only getting easier! Don't worry if you don't feel like you've fully understand everything already. Just continue reading comics, and the picture will get clearer with each character you see. You've already seen all aspects of the system, from now on no new concepts will be introduced. And with every new character you learn, you deepen your memory of the components used in that character.

Sherlock Holmes (sh) feeds an elephant (勹) medicine in the aorta's kitchen (ao2). The medicine looks like a petal leaf (丶), and Sherlock Holmes uses a small silver spoon (勺) to feed it to the elephant.
