[probably early spoilers] What am I supposed to be doing, at all

Finished first run, got Voided. Ran out of locusts dying on puzzles around floor 80, accepted the fruit, now the rules seem to be back to the first run, with no HP and unlimited lives. The first run was over 200 floors long, so if I have to get all the way back there just to start a new Voided run, then I'm probably just going to give up now.

Glancing at other threads, I feel like I'm playing a completely different game from everyone else. I have no idea about a sword, or repairing glyphs, or any of a dozen other concepts people are referencing. Am I just going in circles? Am I still on track? What the hell is the structure of this game?

see https://steamcommunity.com/app/2121980/discussions/0/6504942507064768600/

also, the game tries to teach you toward the end of your first run that you can start over by entering a staircase placed below one of those dark 4-eyed statues but i had to have this detail pointed out to me after i was already like 3 runs in, because i thought it was some scripted part of the "bad ending" sequence, when it's actually a game mechanic you can use on any floor where it's possible

Huh, I never got even the slightest implication that that was a thing.

Having reset and started over, should I be fiddling with the glyphs right now or is it pointless? I made one, but all it did was change the background art briefly. Is there a second step I'm supposed to be taking?

If you've solved a puzzle and the background changed, fall into a pit to get your reward - a lot of secrets require you to fall instead of use the stairs.
