I am now a midstakes online cash game player (and highstakes live MTTs, midstakes cash), but played MTTs for 3 years a while back (50$ ABI). In my 8 years as a pro, I had to adjust a TON in order to survive. Like a lot. So not sure if you are just playing Stars and Party, but I would suggest to spread your roll around, especially on softer European sites (Unibet, for example, which is focussing a lot on micro/low stakes tournaments recently) and Bovada. Especially now that you seem to be in a B/E-downswing stretch, softer sites with smaller fields will considerably lower your variance/increase your confidence. Also, I use to crush Party and 888 MTTs, but had a lower ROI on Stars (tougher fields and lower RB).

Yeah dude, definitely not an easy game to catch up in haha. At peak I can play like 12 tables, I think 10 and lower is my comfort zone, been averaging anywhere from 30-40 MTTs per day this month. I know I need to get more volume, but my BR is too small so I can't get into the softer, bigger BI tourneys.
The CFP program I'm in is recommending only playing Stars, Party, and 888, I think mostly because of security concerns. I have definitely had more success on Party and 888 as well, Stars it feels like you're basically playing a lottery to try and get top three haha.
Had the podcast Joey Ingram did with Barry Greenstein on in the background for last couple hours of today and it definitely inspired me to maybe consider doing cash games. Obviously I'm gonna tough out the MTT streets for a while yet, but I am open to playing different variations if I think I can do well in them. I know firsthand how soft casino cash games can be, so I can always try other avenues if MTTs don't work out.
That being said, I finally had a score today. Second in a bounty tourney for $415. Really gutted it out on the FT, thought I played super ****ing good, and maybe got a little unlucky not to win it. But I got to heads up, which was lucky enough in itself. I was basically a top 10 stack in the tourney from the very first hand, so I had some good cards and I played smart and I ran good. Had two other deep runs today, one final two tables and one final three tables. Really encouraging to see some results so short into my renewed emphasis on study, so the MTT dream isn't dead yet
