A great starting category, New Game+ (No Major Glitches) starts you with all major items, pages, and consumable items you need.
This run is considerably shorter than Any%, as you don't need to seek out the Orb, Dagger, Wand, Sword, or Orange Peril Ring (and other trinkets). With all pages, there is also no Heir fight at the conclusion of the run. Your stats can start at any upgrade level, so there's no need to be concerned with tight MP routing.
It feels like cheating (in a good way), is super fun, and is a great ramp-up to a more fragile category.
