I’ve been cubing for over 9 months, but not even a year. Yet my average is 25 seconds. Good?

I took a similar time to get to where you are, If i recall correctly.
However it took me (more than) 2 years (according to image below) to get sub 20, with me being confident about it early this year.
I have gotten to sub 16-ish maybe 16.5, since then, so I have a really weird timeline when it comes to progression.

Took me longer to get sub 30 then it did for me to get sub 16-ish 😭 (sub 30 from when I started, sub 16-ish from sub 20)

really just depends on effort and time. if your not putting time into practicing improvement might be slow.

if you want to improve maybe finish memorizing algs, improve f2l, practice finger tricks. but if you don’t have that much time each day deff do more targeted practice

My official ao5 is 25.23 seconds. Here are the five solves.

31.71, 29.50, 23.43, 22.75, 17.95.

And that day, I was cubing for 8 months and 24 days. Right now, I have been cubing for 9 months and 14 days. Is this good?

Like I said, I use CFOP, know about 20 OLL algs, 10+ PLL, and good F2L and teaching myself lookahead.

The boring answer is that everyone improves at different rates and everything is subjective to how often and the manner in which you cube. Time alone is not a good indicator.

If the question you're trying to subliminally ask is 'am i progressing faster than the average cuber?' then my answer would probably be no, at least not exceptionally.

It's always important to remember what Theodore Roosevelt famously said:
"Comparison is the thief of joy"

Speedsolve for your own personal benefit, not in comparison to others. (Not at this stage, at least- it's different once you're getting to a podium level)
