Ghidra is reasonably simple to pick up at the entry level. I use it just for fun to make a keygen for commercial software from time to time. Just to flex the muscle.
My take aways are: 1/ You can do RE without knowledge of assembler (which I know nothing about) 2/ C decompiler is useful and you will need to learn some patterns of how things get disassembled 3/ There are many good videos on youtube on how to get started 4/ There is a debugger to see what the program actually does but I never managed to get it running. That would be awesome feature to use.
