I poison clouded both the small king and king allant
I'd say half and half. I cheesed my way through Armor Spider via soul arrow, it was too early in the game and I was scared shitless. I meleed the Tower Knight until he got pissed halfway through the fight and started to kick the shit out of me, then I moved to Soul Ray to finish him off. I meleed Flamelurker but I Soul Ray-ed the Storm Ruler. Soul Ray-ed the Adjudicator and meleed Garl Vinland. Meleed both Maneaters, and the Old Monk summon, Soul Rayed the Fool's Idol, Old Hero. Meleed Dirty Colossus and Soul Rayed Leechmonger.
Considering my char is not STR/DEX based, I'd say I did alright for my first playthrough. My next build is going to be a melee one.
I guess you have beatened Maneater right?

I just skimmed your post. 
SL110 now. Beat 1-3 last night, rescued Biorr and Yuria, and learned Soul Thirst, which is essential for successful farming in some points of the game. Then I faced the boss with the most poetic name in gaming's history, The Penetrator. He was fairly easy because I had Biorr of the Twin Fangs assisting me.
I finally reached 50 MAG, so I'll have to focus now on INT to reach 40. Then I'll only have to worry about the diminishing returns point for MAG to call it a day and face the end game event, to proceed to NG+.
Shit, I'm hooked.
Just when I thought I was more than ready to beat the game, Demon's Souls whips out its wang and shows me it still packs a wallop and can, and will, beat the shit out of me at any time.
1-4 started out easy, with a couple of soldiers packing crossbows, I wipe my ass with them like the angel of death walking through puny humans, and I feel more powerful than any videogame villain...until I bump into 3 black phantom characters, one soldier with a Penetrator sword, one archer with a White Bow, and one Knight built like a tank. I manage to fend them all, kill them, and proceed....only to be roasted to hell and back by my old friend the blue dragon.
Shit.
Today, I beat Demon's Souls.
I haven't been this proud of beating a game in a long time.
Congratulations. It's a good and rare feeling when you get to beat a notoriously challenging or iconic game.
Steel: giving hope to us all! 
The statue king dude I had to do the trick where you lured him out and did the back stab many times, he is just way too hard. Other than that I fought everyone like a man.
