I can share what worked for me, although I am by no means a pro

I found the book "Reverse Engineering for beginners" quite useful. Its a bit tedious but if your serious about it and go through it a bit it'll give you some solid practice.

Also, write, compile, and reverse own snippets of your code to get more intuition about how things work.

Finally work on a actual target, not something crazy like Photoshop or Word but at least something real to get the practical experience. It might be a bit of a grind but when you do manage to crack/hack whatever it is your trying on, its an euphoric feeling

I learned by jumping head first into a program that used blowfish encryption to calculate a license and etc. the company was gone so this was the only option.

There is definitely a “clicks” moment. It took me three weeks from zero to key generator. Absolutely time worth spending.
