I need some help 🥲

Disclaimer: I apologize in advance if this post has been made by others before. I fear my brain is a bit slow to understanding/comprehending certain things, but I would greatly appreciate any help/guidance from my fellow RC enjoyers! 💖

I've been wanting to get into the HS series for a while since I've gotten really into HS:R and ABH. I really enjoyed both of them and wanted to finally try to start the HS series, which founded the lore and universe they both take place in. I'm just so lost on where to even begin with it 💀

I guess as a starting point, I think I want to do a Malbonte route, mostly because it seems the most interesting for me, but Lucifer's route also looks very good as well! Lol but just for the sake of simplicity and starting a playthrough, I've decided my first endgame li will be Malbonte for the first playthrough.

I think the main reason why the HS series intimidates me is because I have no idea how to balance the Angel and Demon paths lol 😅, and is it even possible to save everyone on a Malbonte + balanced path, or a Lucifer + balanced path?

I also have no idea what HS2 entails and that makes me nervous lol! If I continue on a Malbonte route in HS2, which path would best suit him? (I'm gonna be so honest, the only thing that I've been exposed to from HS2 is Hunger, and that man is FINE. I'll probably do a route specifically for him LMFAOOO)

Just to reiterate, I truly would appreciate it so much if a lovely fellow romance clubber (lol is that what the fandom is called? 😭💀) could help me out on how to get started and play HS! Thank you so much in advance!!! 🥺💕💕💕
