The game is literally about community. The game goes through great efforts to create an ambiance of isolation, through constrained and inconvenient connection with others.
It costs resources to summon, public interaction is limited to templated messages and seeing ghosts, the secrets are deep and it’s virtually impossible to uncover every secret by yourself.
Personally, as someone not particularly fond of exploration, with a preference for 100%ing games, I play Souls games with the cheat sheet.
It’s my preference, it’s how I enjoy the game most. It doesn’t diminish the experience for me, but it might for you. Be careful, using a cheat sheet like this might ruin your experience.
Totally fine to do so. At the end of the day, who am I to judge how someone plays a single-player game in their leisure time? Sure, I can offer perspectives as to how I would deem a good playthrough to look like, but does it really matter?
I’ve had games that I played with a guide alongside playing which I wouldn’t have been able to finish by myself otherwise. Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, for example, were among my first ever Zelda games after A Link Between Worlds and I just wasn’t familiar with this kind of freedom and problem solving in video games up until that point. If it weren’t for guides, I wouldn’t have been able to finish either of them at all
If you use sorceries, ranged weapons or anything other than a melee weapon you are not a real man, nor a real gamer /s

I feel like going blight town immedietely is also a mistake. Took key for the sword, one shot taurus demon, then went blight town and gave up.

I would have warned against resistance more then the catacombs. The catacombs is lesson to learn, resistance is just a dick move on the games part.
