Placement: #6
I don't have a personal placement because I can't compare to other levels in this range because I'm not good enough.

I originally started this level on December 12th 2022 because someone gave me a start position copy to try and learn. I was still doing Oblivion at the time so I was primarily focusing on that while learning Kyouki on the side. I knew it was gonna be quite the challenge, but I still heavily underestimated how difficult it was actually gonna be to finish. Overall I really like the level still, but man my experience was definitely the roughest I've ever dealt with in this game.

Once I finished Oblivion, I took a small break to focus on an easy demon I was working on at the time. Then in February 2023, that's when the grind officially started picking up its pace. Trying to get any progress on this level felt like bashing my head against a wall praying I get through at least a tiny bit at a time. However, once I was able to build up consistency it became really fun cause it gets incredibly consistent. Near the end I was getting past list % like half the time, and when I couldn't I would consider that a bad session or time to end.

Around late May to June I noticed I was getting extremely frustrated and my mental health was starting to flop partially because of Kyouki, but also because my parents were struggling with everything so they couldn't really take care of me properly. Eventually, my relationship with them was just becoming worse and worse to the point where they straight up kicked me out cause they couldn't deal with me anymore. So during the summer, fall, and a little bit of the winter I was struggling to find proper housing. My grandparents ended up having to take care of me which I really didn't like but there was no other options at the time. However in early December I was able to find a supportive housing program to move into for now so I could at least be somewhat independent cause I hated having my grandparents try and take over my life.

Also in December, 2.2 dropped so I was forced to take a break from the level right after 98 which was unfortunate. However, having an excuse to not play Kyouki and do other things on geometry dash was nice and I was able to gain my enjoyment back with some creating projects.

Near the end of the grind I started streaming cause I felt being insanely consistent at the level would help my streams start strong and bring a lot of viewers in. Unfortunately I didn't beat Kyouki on stream which I'm a little disappointed about but it doesn't matter that much.

Now that I have Kyouki out of the way, I'm planning on finishing up a bunch of levels that I got significant progress on but I doubt I'll beat anything else significant for a long time (if ever because overall I'm losing interest in gaming because I'm growing up and I don't want to play games for the rest of my life and post secondary is much more important)

Also screw you denni for beating it the day before me and sniping my chance to have the first Canadian victor of Kyouki.
