Drawabox has no real prereqs, but its perspective explanation stuff is very basic for beginner level and his explanations really aren't the best...and can be confusing. If you aren't understanding the concepts of VPs and 1,2 ,3 point perspective definitely read up on that in tandem. Any of the resources we've mentioned have enough decent perspective information presented with better explanations to learn from in order to continue with drawabox, without dropping it per se. Some of them go far far beyond basics, such as Scott's How to Draw. Going through that book will take time and will give you all the understanding in depth about perspective technical drawing that you will likely ever need, but it is good to balance this with the more freehand exercises that are in drawabox once you have more of a handle on the technical side imo.
A lot of time you might not 'feel' you are getting any benefit which is why getting feedback is good. I can already see much more confidence in your basic lines from doing those basic drills, and your second attempts at the cube exercises while still needing a lot of work did improve slightly. You cannot rush through and look at outcome alone. Try to enjoy the learning process and be less negatively judgemental about results, instead be honestly (but positively) critical to identify issues and then work on them in a focused manner. This is how you can make improving less frustrating.
