Slow and steady

I see so many people on social media speed running the game and going through these bosses like butter. I just got to the "grand gate" (still locked out thou) and im at 18hrs. I feel like this game is alot harder than hollow night which i like but damn, dying 20x to moth boi and 6x to splinter girl is wild. Only boss to make rage in hollow knight was nosc and the hollow knight.

Just wanted to see how others are doing in the game like time played, difficulty, death count. You can share your experience if you want but please no spoilers.

I like taking the game slow so ill probably have like 100hrs before i beat the game (if i can)
