It’s Official (Nine Circles)

I hath made thy decision.

I am officially going to be practicing Nine Circles. I started practice yesterday and got to 39-47. Today I got 39-52. I plan on beating Nine Circles by the 15th of September AEST.

The Reason

I find the gameplay really fun for starters, because it allows for the use of difficult wave timings (subjectively) and it will progress my wave and a bit of my general skill by a fairly large margin.

This will be good because it will be my transition from average to a place where I have the potential to become above average (beating Nine Circles obviously doesn’t automatically make you above average.

I believe this will launch me to a higher height and will allow me to take on harder levels. It will also help me with other Nine Circles styled levels like Jawbreaker, Fairydust etc.

Side-Goal

If I beat Nine Circles by 10 days, it will be my 2nd hardest level next to CraZy, who knows, maybe higher (probably not). I do not just want to Demon grind on Easy Demons all the time. While it may give dopamine, a good punch is always better than 10 ineffective ones.

The Community Aspect

I don’t only want to improve. I also want to inspire. As things like this happen all the time, it won’t be much. It will be like a handful of sand in the Sahara Desert.

Even if by a small margin, I want to motivate people to take on harder levels and to pour in attempts. I have found myself being motivated by GDA posts time and time again (I beat CraZy because someone had inspired me), and I want to be a part of that.

Why Nine Circles?

Nine Circles is a fairly good level for that. A lot of people in this community see people beating Extreme Demons, and from experience I can say that it is sometimes demotivating (not taking jabs at anyone). Nine Circles is a good level for this because people who have average skill might get the thought in their mind: ‘Should I try this?’

Some would shrug it off, but I would wish for at least one or two to get motivated and raise their skill by trying the level. That will spread the flame, even if it is just a spark of inspiration through the community.

Thank you for reading the update.
