Effort is the determining factor. Effort and consistency that is.
During every session you need to concentrate. You need to push yourself mentally as hard as possible to concentrate 100% on the task at hand. And when you lose focus take a break. Repeat this until you can concentrate on the N-Back task for about 45 minutes straight.
Don't worry about increasing your N-back or whether your training will yield results. Stick to this and see for yourself.
Stop worrying about whether it will be worth your time or not and being indecisive. Try it out for yourself first, stop asking people whether they have made any gains or whether it is worth it. There are several people alone who have reported massive benefits and that alone is enough to make me want to try it.

There have been some recent studies by Jaeggi et al showing "growth mindset", "effort" etc etc are indeed important factors. But these are minor in effect size at best, based on my interpretation of their graphs. For a universally highly effective approach like 2x or 3x rate of normal progress with equal training dose, there has to be an incorporation of strong dopaminergic stimulus through truly remarkable game design(which arguably is much, much more difficult compared to programming the actual task itself), along with a combination of additional interventions which are shown to improve neuroplasticity/learning rate to some degree(HIIT, HIFT, NSDR, tDCS, rTMS, tPBM, balance training based vestibular-neuroplasticity activation, juggling based PFC-premotor circuit activation, closed eye mini-rest periods for better encoding, sensory gamma stimulation, nootropics, etc etc).

N-back does work very well in my experience. But only if you train for 1+ hour a day for a month minimum.

"Try harder" is not an argument in this context, albeit interesting to know how it would change someone if they trained after 10+ hours of training per day for a whole year. Though, not necessarily more interesting than creative alternatives.
You guys need to think more outside the box.
Peace and best wishes.
