Did anyone manage to get Power Leveling in this version?

I'm following a youtube video that did it with Mio on Stage 1 Hard, and after 40 minutes of restarting, including several runs where I went from LV1 to LV7 I'm positive it doesn't work.
The achievement is either broken outright, or was changed to be 1 second real-time as opposed to 1 second excluding menus(which seems to be the case in the video), in which case if I can't get it after several attempts of alternating two fingers on the left click I doubt anyone can.

I was able to do it last Saturday (23rd of November) with Fauna. I wanted to get the no move achievement and I got the +100% pick-up range item around 12-15 minutes in. Got like 9 levels iirc. Should work for you too.

I got it in a previous version, but I did it as Sana when getting Couch Potato. I used her special after a lot of EXP piled up out of range.

Managed to get it today with Sana about 8 minutes into a Couch Potato run.
Maybe the 1 second rule is about when it starts to get pulled towards you? Because I clearly spent more than one second in the menus because I was trying to pick good items.

The Sana - couch potato thing is amazing. It's almost like the achievement is made for that strat.

I didn't feel like I could respond to this the first time I saw this post cause all I remember is that I just got the achievement while I was playing normally. And I didn't think saying that would help at all. (Not even close)

But I just got reminded of something that might be helpful. (But really, the Sana - couch potato thing is much easierr maybe)

In stage 2 or stage 2 hard, the area to the left of where you start has this big table, yeah? Around that area, boxes usually spawn there. You break them and exp things sometimes come out. You break enough of them from afar then get them all in one go. Power Leveling. A bit of luck is involved, yeah. But it's an alternate route i guess? Could be a thing to do when hunting for fan letters and you have to go back to that stage again and again.

sana's special sucking in all the nearby EXP is really good for couch potato yeah

Couch potato runs are where it's at. I got Power Levelling via my couch potato run with Watame. It'll happen either when you grab the limiter, or when by pure chance a rainbow exp drops within reach.

I just waited till a rainbow exp dropped and then I stopped picking up exp for a while. Once there was enough exp I picked up the rainbow exp and all of exp that was laying on the ground were picked up all at once
