Now solving this "normally" by doing wrong slice first was hopeless +3 and +2.
But since this was the only DR I had I tried the other way around.
After DR we have:

I really wanted to get U R L type DR to try HTR-1s / HTR-2s stuff :D
Of course I also checked the 2 mover but DR in 11, from R' B (L) rzp, was the best I could do.
And I argue that U R L DR in 12 is better than "normal" DR in 11.
Especially since my DR in 11 was 2c4. But here that 2c4 happened to have a 10 move finish :DDD
"Unfortunately" here optimal was not of the HTR-2s form but rather "normal" HTR-1s form:
D R2 L2 U L2 U' //HTR 6/18
B2 D2 //"FR" for the slice we try to solve here 2/20
L2 B2 R2 ^ F2 ^^//M slice 24/24 but we will most likely cancel moves slicing since we have R L'
^=M' //+1/25
^=M //-3/22 R L' from inverse cancels and the D cancels because last F2 becomes D2
Not super cool because no HTR-2s but still quite cool!

2c3 is 22 opt but all opt and opt+1 need 9 or 10 move HTR :D

Luckily the finish from 4a1 6e was linear and easy to find quickly.

Only decent set of DRs I had.
This was the kind of scramble where my lack of 5 move EO knowledge usually causes issues.
But this time luckily one of the EOs I did find was the "correct" one.
Also there are no sliceEO skips and only one 1 move sliceEO so nothing there either...
Only thing better than this that cubelib gives is 22 from 2+3 NISS EO so I'm not finding that without getting extremely lucky.

and

THIS IS THE COOLEST SOLVE OF MY LIFE!
If you are active on FMC discord you have probably heard of the development of new DR-fe method.
So here it is in action!
First we notice that all E-slice edges are already oriented on both normal and inverse.
(.) //E slice edges oriented
(R') //DR-fe rzp 3c2e for U/D 1/1
(D2 L U L) //DR-2s meaning DR-some flipped edges that need 2 slice moves to fix. 4/5
(L' R') //DR-1s 2-2/5
F2 D' B2 [U R L] //DR 4b2 2e 6/11 with lots of variations 6/11 you can also do it without F2 but it gives 2c4.
(B2 U2 R2 {B' D2 B}) //shortest HTR on inverse so we can "whack the variations" 6/17
[]= U' F2 R' L' //+1/18 just go through the DR line and try to build blocks. LOTS of +1 variations availible
U2 B2 //leave S slice 2-1/19
{}= B2 F L2 F' //+1/20
I'm SO HAPPY with this! 5 to DR-1s is very rare and I knew the expected optimal is like 14-15 moves from that. So I spent all of my time on this since even getting opt+2 would mean like 22 that is a good result for me.
This is NOT optimal from DR-1s but I dont mind. I didnt realise that you can also try to solve the slice in the DR line. Here doing
F2 U' L2 D' F2 L' R' instead of my DR line gives +0 slice for 19 that is optimal for this DR-1s.
This was like the perfect scramble to do DR-fe since there were not that many sub5 EOs but one axis was only 2 flipped edges meaning we will have several slices/axis where slice EO is already done.

There is 1 findable 23 from this set of DRs (others seem to be 5qt).
And cubelib gives 1 other 23 from 2+3 NISS EO in addition to those.
Rough scramble soo 24 is a fine result for me on this.
EDIT: well, obviously I should have switched jzp in 8 :DDD How do people find this stuff...

You can insert the 2e for slice in 21 outside HTR but no +0.

There are 21 move solutions from this set of DRs but none seem trivial to me. Findable but not trivial.

+2/21
Also had a 20 move leave slice with 4qt but that is also +2.
DR opt is 20 but the path is hard (4qt with 2 moves to 4a1 4e and then 3qt from there) so not mad.
Also nice mo3 this week! 20,22,21 = 21.00

Very simple 20 and cubelib doesnt give anything sub20 so unless someone pulls a weird 19 then woaj will be tied times million :D
I bounded after L2 U F2 U so I already knew the bound was low but it turned out to be only +1 to the lower bound.
Also the insertion is just a standard +1 DR trigger extension but I saw it this way first.

DR opt.
Tough scramble. All good solutions cubelib gives are from NISS 5 move EOs. I only checked linear 5 movers and all 4 movers.
Only other DR I looked at was:
(F L U' R F) L (L2 F2 U2 R D' R) //4b2 2e in 12 but also 24 opt.

DR has a unique 22opt but that is either 9 move linear HTR or 2HT+qt and then NISS so not too bad of a miss.
