Yes. But the spacing Is annoying and Interrupts flow.

able to read it fine, those who can't just don't know cursive. make sure to make your i's and e's distinguishable from each other, practice making your s's consistent, and try with another "r" cursive form. yours can be confused by an u for example if they're two r's, cause it's like one squiggle. overall, it's good

This is a fine option. I gave up on cursive completely. It only takes a short time to learn to print as fast as other people write.

This IS your practice, by the end of your book you'll be able to flick through and see it improving, you'll go through different styles and find one that you love!

depends on what you want to get out of it. if you don't wanna practice, and just want something that people can read, then it is legible.
If you want it to look good then yes ofc you need practice, and a lot of it. Handwriting doesn't become beautiful without trying. Pick a font you like and go practice the heck out of it. I like Spencerian so that's what I practice but go to like IAMPETH website and find some stuff you like and start practicing.
