Oh, you remade one lol.

Nice guide!

[Apollo]

Yes, thank you I forgot.

[NotYoyo]

Please read, this guide included many advanced options and extra features, so it is totally fine. Don’t just get into a random guide and talk nonsense about it without even read the whole thing completely.

Also, the difficulty should be 4-5 In my opinion.

Checked through this guide, Its very well formatted!
Pros:
Formatting Perfect
Good Guide
Not exactly a duplicate
Very preppy
Explains well
Cons:
Real name exposed is in the last pics, not that deep)
Doesn’t explain WHY it works just HOW to do it (really not THAT deep but still an admirable quality to have)
Signed your name (again, not that deep)

OVERALL GREAT GUIDE!
