not really a good guide, you spent so much effort making it look nice with your images but theres almost little to know guidance on the actual achievements. just a very brief description

Thanks for your comment @Micro F.e.X. I'll improve my guides in that way

I think your guides should be more in depth. Instead of investing time on making your guides looking clean, you should invest time on actually explaining what the player has to do in order to get the achievement. For example, we all know that in order to get the china shop achievement we have to reach a streak of 15 in the game mode, however, we don't know HOW to do it, that's why we search for guides. 10/10 in presentation but in most achievements you just repeated the achievement description from the game so... Not a good guide.
