What makes a player good? What is the thing that separated the skilled and unskilled?
is it the no of demons beaten?
or is it the number of attempts taken to beat demons?

All players are good, no one's objectively bad or unskilled. What differs is each player's skill level.
To get good is to grind, based on what I've heard some top players say. And by the that I mean you work your way up the demon ladder, practicing until you're comfortable enough for your next step. I believe the number of demons you complete is meaningless if they only consist of easier ones.
Number of attempts taken is rather pointless, it's a measure of how quickly people get consistent on a certain level, and it just means some can learn stuff quicker, so not quite a measure of skill.

For the number of demons, let's say you have two players who have both completed 30 demons. One player has completed 30 easy demons, and the other has completed 30 medium demons. I would say the second player is better, having beat the same amount of demons but those demons are harder than the first player's completed ones. However, this isn't always so easy. Maybe you have two other players. One's completed 200 easy demons, while the other has completed 5 hard demons. The first player has completed exponentially more demons than the second, but the second's demons are of a harder difficulty; who is better in this situation is difficult to judge, so demon count isn't as accurate.
However, if you compare two players' average attempt counts on the same demon difficulty (or better yet, the same demon), whichever player's count is lower is definitely more naturally skilled at GD; this evidence is more concrete and accurate in general, since most players I've seen have completed a moderate amount of demons, most being easy and medium with maybe one or two hards or an insane under their belts.
Sorry for the text walls lol

The hardest demon that he has beaten. 25 demons with Windy landscape as hardest is way better than 70 demons with NC as hardest.

I suggest the first demon to become a GD player being Demon Mix. Then Moving To Lightning Road, The Nightmare. ETC. Clubstep was my second demon. But it’s because I lost my progress. Also, Beat Almosr Every offical level. -don’t beat Hexagon Force/Electrodynamix or the offical demons yet- and once you beat most of the offical levels than do the easy demons and stuff

Hardest demon beaten. Attempt count kinda factors in but I don't really care about attempts since the end result of beating a level in 200 attempts vs 2000 attempts is the same.

I think once you beat Dry Out, your patience begins to show, and you're at the point where you're not one of the people who uninstall the game because it's too hard. You're willing to stick it out until you finish a level even if you struggle hard with a certain part, and that's a huge trait for the best of the best and it's something Dry Out encourages you to achieve early on.
I feel that if you're good at the main game, you're good at the game. The online levels may be central to the community, but it's still an extension to the game. You don't have to be that one guy you're subscribed to who uploads extreme demons seemingly every day to be skilled at GD.

I have a very weird perception of my ideal good player. Obviously, everyone says "oh this player good because he beat Tartarus!!! HARDest level best player only one progress vid!!" But I'm not at all moved in any way by those players. Sure they have skill but it's so un-amusing and predictable that I really can't call them good. They're good maybe but I ain't raving about them.
What I think is the best indicator of being a good player is to always do something better. To always one-up yourself. What I mean by that is if a player is assumed to already have reached the top of what should be possible, that player reaches higher. Tartarus is not the limit for those players; they try harder levels. Bloodbath is not the limit for those (mobile) players; they try something harder. I think that's why I say criedex is one of the best players ever.
(See my opinion is kind of different)
Edit: I'm not saying going above the currently known hardest demon makes you good. It's just an example. I'm talking about going above your theoretical limit.

Seriously, I put takes less than 5 or 6 days of playing gd to beat dry out. It's not a true test of patience. But I agree with the second part. Gd community gives less importance to main levels though they give more number of stars than online levels.

Yeah I've been saying that about Dry Out for the longest time but sometimes I question it too. I still would say I believe in it because of how horribly difficult it was for me, but if that still isn't enough to be the "worst good," I think that you're definitely good once you beat Clubstep.
