Seems like you're resting at the bonfire too early. If you don't wait long enough you will just warp to Undead Parish again, it needs to be right before you warp I always sit when the screen starts fading out

just watched the run, that's actually such a cool route tbh. I think a deathless run with this would be sub 1:30, maybe even faster

I get where you're coming from and I very much agree with the statement that the selection of available categories does influence people's decision on what to run. Some people might not care about leaderboards at all, others might only be interested in doing runs they can actually submit. Personally I think there should be some amount of interest in a category before it gets added (specifically more than 1 person in my opinion), but I also agree with your point that there might be people interested in watching it even if there are barely any runners. I think the solution would be to find a middle ground, so to not restrict leaderboards to only the most popular categories but on the other hand also make sure that there will be more than just 1 run. There are lots of potential categories that could be added, but we should also try to keep the page as organized as possible. I don't know if you're on the speedsouls discord, but we've actually been talking about this topic fairly recently there.

I agree with cata here tbh. Personally I'm really interested in glitchless as well but I think it depends on how many people actually run it. Adding 5 new categories just because they could exist is kinda overkill
