No one's asked so i might as well since I'm curious of whether I play in high or low bpm scale. And by the way all i need is an approximation.
Normally I'm 18 but for hard to read songs its 19 or 20 bpm scale.

Since bpm scale varies with the bpm of each song, it's different for every song. 18 can be slow for some low bpm songs and be very fast for some high bpm songs. So you can't really give an answer on a 'high or low' bpm scale since it depends on the beatmaps you play.

If you were talking about the fixed scale (the scroll speed is same across every beatmap you play), then I would say that 18~20 is on a lower range. I usually play on 24~25, and I think the most common range is 23~28. Some people can read on faster scroll speeds (like Staiain) and set their scroll speed above 30.

18, 19 and 20 are all very low (So low, I can't play on them) on my screen.
I play on 28~31 on 4k and 26 on 7k, but that's a personal preference.

It also depends on how big you monitor is, how close you are, etc. It's highly relative, and you should poke around and find your sweet spot, and also how fast you can react to the keys (Hence why I use 26 for 7k). Also, if you're using a skin the size of the default o!m skin (or are using it), that will also affect your view of the notes.

Personally, your range is too low for me, but I play on a 22" monitor and I'm approx 25 inches away. My skin is currently 70x in columnwidth, which allows me to play at a fast scroll speed and still react to the notes

Generally when you move up in difficulty you may see yourself having to go up in scroll speed (Which I can see you've experienced already). Yes, 18 is slow so you can try to adjust to a higher speed if you have trouble reading with it.

You can also try making your notes thinner and changing your columnwidth like iJinJin DivinityGate suggested. Making notes thinner can be done with the line "WidthForHeightNoteScale:" in the skin.ini file from your skin. The lower the number you put after it, the thinner the notes become. Thin notes will create more space between notes on screen, so it sort of creates the same effect as a higher scroll speed. As I play on a slow speed for my level (23 fixed), this helped me a lot and I didn't get a worse accuracy like I do with a higher scroll speed(I have trouble reacting in time with higher speeds).

My setting for the thin notes is
WidthForHeightNoteScale: 30

I might try this and lower my scroll speed, actually.
