there is a lot of incredibly negative things i can say about this chapter and category, however i'll just boil it down to this instead:

this category is absolutely miserable to speedrun and has been possibly the worst speedrunning experience i've ever had, essentially a 21 minute autoscroller before you can actually start playing the most interesting parts of the entire category, with way too many stupid arbitrary timelosses that plague this entire chapter that make this so much worse to speedrun than previous thought before.

i would have wished to get a sub 40:30 time or something much lower as that would have been so much better for me to show off, but this game has absolutely torn my mental away and has made it painful to commit more than 3 attempts on this category a DAY.

i don't think i'll ever return to this category unless i have a burning passion to improve my time or unless a new skip gets found to skip a few minutes of the run, so i hope this run gets to stay as a relatively good run for a while.

also deeply sorry for the random moments where it sounds like i'm talking to myself, i was in a call on discord and had filtered out my friends' voices. :p
