My way to study Openings:is it bad or good?

How i study openings is
1 Tab of Chess.com play against bots
1 Tab of Lichess Engine Analysis board
i will play against bots that is extremely predictable at openings like Nelson (1300elo) who plays Wayward queen attack or Mr. Blakey (1800elo) who plays French defense (most) sicilian (2. most common) or modern opening with 1.e4 (3. most common) and lastly Alekhine's defense (most rare)
i compare my moves to engines to first 1-20 moves against the bots, first i memorize everything i see from lines and then i start to make computer moves ideas, after that, i will learn how to punish my opponent long-term position, rare and common lines and lines i wouldve played if i was my opponent and learn, after memorizing all that, i take a break, and do it all again but memorize and understand moves that i forgot
do you like the way i study? do i make a mistake while studying? comment your opinion below
Note:i am very good at memorizing and understanding too

i think you should watch a video about the opening and then practise it by playing and analyzing ( thats what got recomendet to me ) , if you have a specific question about a theory move that isnt talked about in the video then you can also look at the engine , but you shouldnt primarly learn with the engine

If you are studying options that will not bring benefits in the game, then your training is useless.

Prove the effectiveness of your training. Play only rated games. You only have 89 games against people. Besides, some of them played bullet, but bullet is not chess.

There is a program called lucaschess. There is an opening training mode. You play against different engines, you need to play an any opening. If you make a mistake and the move score falls below -1, the game ends immediately. So you couldn't.

i mean, its better to be ready than lost, am i right? when you play like engine in first 1-20 moves, you can destroy them if they make inaccuracy

No. When your opponent leaves the learned branch on turn 7, you will not be able to defeat him, because you did not study this branch. There is no need to learn the opening moves. You need to learn the principles of pieces development.

Just press 10+5!!! And you will get the answer.
