No, reading Greek and Katakana scripts is very easy to learn.

I can also read Cyrillic (Russian) and Hiragana fwiw. Not that hard. I just can't deal with Arabic and Hebrew scripts, not because they read right to left, but because they normally leave out the vowels (and Arabic is complicated as fuck, with each letter having four different versions, depending on whether it's at the beginning, middle, or end of a word, or standing alone). But yeah, in Hebrew and Arabic, "BRADON" would effectively become "NDRB".

I could probably also teach myself Devangari (Hindi) , Thai, or Hangul (Korean) scripts as well, but I cba atm.

But Chinese is the king of writing systems to learn. Japanese too, actually, since it borrows many of the characters from Chinese, along with using the Hiragana and Katakana "alphabets". You need to know around 2,000 of these ideographic characters to even have basic literacy in Japanese, and probably even more for Chinese. A well educated Chinese will know about 10,000 of the characters by heart, iirc.
