One of my favorite youtubers is fond of saying that Undead Burg is a perfect tutorial area. The first time you play it, it will take you three hours. The second time, it will take you five minutes

Without reading, I don't think they're telling you to actually *do* New Londo. I do frequently dip down there to grab the firekeeper soul by the first ghost (make sure you've used your souls; it will almost certainly be a suicide run if you're not used to doing it), and then depending on my build, take an immediate right after coming down on the elevator to then go up another elevator to Drakes, but don't actually do that stupid area unless you really want the RTSR. You just cross the bridge which brings you to the "exit" of Blighttown.

It's a bit of light sequence breaking that you can do with the Master Key.

As for what sequence you *should* use, that depends on your build. What are you playing/using?

here's a link to the Game Progress Route page I was looking at. Seems crazy and not sure it's something I want to try. It doesn't really go into any detail about running through to grab stuff. It seems to suggest doing the areas in their entirety before moving on to the next.

first time I played the game I went full on strength. This time I'm doing more of a quality build and started with the Warrior. I want to eventually get to where I can do SOME spells but I don't enjoy that part of these games enough to base my entire build around it (standing back and firing off Sould Arrows nonstop at the start of the game isn't all that fun to me.

Who is it?

FightinCowboy is my go to video game streamer at this point. He really goes into detail with all of the FromSoft games, but he'll offer content that explores the game (lets play) and the more detailed 100% completion type walkthroughs. He really got me through my initial soulslike experience (Demon's Souls Remake)
