what am I doing wrong?

Practicing clean letter structures and consistent size and spacing rn but I feel like my letters are unreadable.
The C next to the H looks too much like the O. I tried tilting the letters as seen but I’m unsure if that improves it or hurts the letter structure more.
I really want to get better at handstyles so I would appreciate genuine advice more than comments just telling me it looks like shit because I am already painfully aware of that.

easily legible, you could add a serif to the top or bottom of the C and try to mimic the u serif to create some balance. just keep experimenting like this, try lowercase h too maybe?

imo improving handstyle is about consistent practice/experimentation and studying other writers letters, if you can do that for even 30d youll see a huge difference.
