New Player - Best Method for Learning?

Good day, community,

I am thinking about getting into speedrunning Polarity, and I am amazed by the top runs I have watched! I definitely need to get much better at the basic gameplay before I worry about shaving seconds and putting together runs, but I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations for planning my learning.

I was thinking of starting with ILs, for the obvious reason that this helps me focus on small sections at one time, and also allows me to spot "problem" areas for runs. Beyond this, are there certain levels that would be better to start with? I could see where some of the middle levels would be harder than the later ones, or where certain levels are better for learning certain tricks.

The category that catches my eye to learn is Story 100%, but if you guys recommend starting with a different category, please let me know! Thank you for your time.

If you still want to run this game: Learn most of the intermediate and expert strats from this guide: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RIltjNkGH3fO3Cw3o5Eq4XqCKjanO2mrmgC8LzyFqdU/edit#gid=65917244 and do no resets till the point where you are able to get runs going semi-consistently. And when you get a somewhat decent time (sub 5:30ish) you can start grinding

Another way to improve is to do IL's with RTA strats and focus on a mix of consistency and speed.
