I thought it would be a good idea to suggest a category here (In the form of replying to this forum with category name, rules and run video.). It would at least be easier to see what has been suggested than the community discord.

All recruits extended - you have to get the hacker to join your city as well.
name : egg% rules : Timing starts on selecting "YES" when naming a new save file. Timing ends on closing "You receved an egg.(タマゴを 手に入れた。)" text. movie : misc : Split by chapter, and further split chapter2 into glitched and glitchless.
All Chapter All Recruits: True Pacifist Chapter 1, All Recruits Chapter 2.
Well, this is an idea I thought by accident
Name: Max% One Battle Timing rules: Timing starts on selecting "YES" when naming a new save file. Timing ends when you lose character control entering the second battle Conditions: You must obtain the maximum different items, maximum money in the dark world as in the light world, recruit the hacker and end the first battle in a pacifist way (How trying to recruit them). The second fight must be one impossible to skip that is required for a route (Don´t matter if is Snowgrave or Main Route) Video: Misc: Split into "glitched" and "glitchless" and I probably forgot something in my run unu
Feel free to modify the rules if you disagree something uwu
Name: Hug Ralsei Rules: Give Ralsei a hug in chapter one. Timing starts: hitting start on menu Timing ends: selecting the option to hug Ralsei. Video:

name: Jevil (Fight Only) rules: timing starts when you enter jevil's door for the first time (it has to be the first time so he gives the text) and timing ends when the battle menu disappears movie:
all weapons% complete both chapters while obtaining every weapon.
Weapons:
Spooky Sword Ragger Dainty Scarf Brave Axe Devil's Knife Fiber scarf Mecha Saber Auto Axe Ragger 2 Freeze Ring Thorn Ring Bounce Blade Puppet Scarf
Here is what the route would look like:
In Chapter 1, play mostly to the all bosses rules until you talk to Jevil in the castle. Make a small detour for the Ragger in the forest. Once you get into seam's shop after talking to Jevil, buy the spooky sword after getting the last key piece. Once you have reached the castle, you can either fight Jevil, or make your way to the hip shop. Getting to the hip shop first is advised, as you must beat Jevil by fighting. Buy the Dainty Scarf and the Brave Axe in the shop. Take the elevator back to the ground floor once you are done. Take the other elevator to the Jevil fight. Beat Jevil by fighting. Once you are done, get back to the top floor using the elevator. Next, fight K Round and King as you would normally, then finish the chapter normally.
Once you start chapter 2, make a small detour for the Fiber Scarf in the Cyber Field. Next focus on getting the thorn ring as early as possible. Farm at least 1997 g, then use the text overflow glitch to get the Thorn Ring. Next, warp to the trash zone using the same glitch. You won't need to fight the dance trio, since you will be aborting your snowgrave route. In the city, follow the early thorn ring snowgrave route. Pick up the bounce blade in the middle of the city. When you get to berdly, it dosen't matter which option you choose. Beat berdly using ice shock with the thorn ring. Finish the rest of the city as normal, sparing spamton on the way. Once you reach the mansion, follow the chapter 2 all bosses route until you get back to the warp door. Warp back to the cyber field, and enter the dance trio shop. Buy the Mecha Saber and Auto Axe. Set up the wrong warp glitch, then make your way to where the first Berdly fight would have been, wrong warping at every screen transition. Make sure you hit all 70 dots on the long teacup ride so you can grab the Ragger 2. Wrong warp all the way back to the shop. Then use the door to warp to the trash zone. Get the keygen from spamton, then warp back to the mansion. Reconnect with your all bosses route, and beat spamton neo by fighting. Complete the rest of the mansion as normal. Fight the final bosses, and finish the chapter. Complete the ending as normal, and end off with time as normal. Equipping your most powerful weapons is strongly advised for this run.
What about Hacker percent? Trigger the hacker fireworks cutscenes as fast as possible.
The only other suggestion I have is chapter 2 NG+. Start chapter 2 from a completed chapter 1 file. You are allowed to have anything from chapter 1 that may benefit you. The only major timesaves would be the werewire battle, the Rules fight, and the queen fight.
Glowshard% obtain both glowshards as fast as possible. Timing begins using regular chapter 1 timing and ends when you take the second glowshard.
