I hate taking 6 months to write 45 thousand words.
My dream is to shit-write a novel every month so my chances of getting a hit multiply by 6.
How do I into writing faster, /lit/? I have countless ideas for novels but I just take way too long with my writing. My dream is to write a 800 pages master piece to explain human experience but that'd take me 5 years in my current pace.
What should I do?

Why is your writing to slow to begin with? Most slow writers write slow because they're perfectionists. If this is the case, then you just have to convince yourself that the first draft of anything you write is going to be shit. That way, you can just write and write without worrying about whether it sucks or not, because it's supposed to.
But different people have different creative styles. personally, i like to put my work through at least seven drafts, so an ~80,000 word book is currently taking me 3 years to develop the final manuscript. Writing slow may just be the way you're programmed to create things. If the final product lives up to your expectations, you have nothing to worry about.

I have read interviews and articles on authors who use a pretty efficient method. Ayn Rand, Ian Flemming, Tom Clancy, Jeffrey Deaver and Sebastian Faulks work this way.
Its all about lots of planning and research. Start with your plot and theme, what you want to say in the novel and how you will go about it. Then start your research and creating chacters to dramatize what you are trying to say.
Then you start your draft in the grossest ssence, begining, middle and end. From there draft the whole thing scene for scene giving two or three paragraphs to each scene. At this point you can work on your story beats to make it move in a logical and entertaining way, making sure everything works and hangs together.
Then at this point Flemming would write the scenes in he morning. Then going back to reread and edit in the afternoon, then look at his next scene in his notes to give himself something think about overnight.

write a shit first draft. go back and edit instead of editing as you go. At least try to write a full page before going back to edit.
