Though daunting, this achievement isn't actually as bad as it seems. There's not really any cheese, but getting the likes legitimately is still easy, even without any level making skills and only basic knowledge of how to use the editor.
First, you'll need to make a level. Try and get at least a little creative with it and make something decent enough to warrant a like. For example, what I did was copy an "auto" version of a very popular easy demon called The Nightmare, boost it to 4x speed, and adjust the level layout as necessary to ensure that the player doesn't die. The level ID for my creation is 65252506 if you're curious what I mean. Overall, this took very little effort to create; it's not such a garbage effortless level that everyone is either going to ignore it or dislike it, but it's not a level that required extensive knowledge of the editor to create. It's just enough to warrant a generous person's like, which is all we really care about.
Onto the method for obtaining 100 likes. This will take some time, but this is something you need to be active about. The first thing I did was bug my entire friends list with this level -- don't do that. It's not worth it; there's a much more effective way that doesn't involve being outright obnoxious.
The crucial strategy to getting 100 likes: level request livestreams.
Basically, on YouTube and Twitch, a lot of people will livestream Geometry Dash and specifically gear their gameplay towards playing the levels requested by their chat. Given that it's such a common format, we can use this to our advantage and easily get tons of people to play our level through this. They're literally ASKING for you to send you their level!
On YouTube, search "geometry dash level requests" and filter the results to only show livestreams (or click this link: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=geometry+dash+level+requests&sp=EgJAAQ%253D%253D)
On Twitch, search for all currently broadcasting Geometry Dash livestreams by selecting the game itself (or click this link: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Geometry%20Dash) then try and find ones with "level request" in the title.
To share your level in these livestream chats, you'll want to send your level's ID. This can be found after publishing your level by clicking the "i" icon and looking at the bottom of the popup. I don't have a picture to share, but there's a bunch on Google Images if you're having trouble with this.
With the platforms, you may find that Twitch has a much greater selection of streamers to request. Most streamers probably will naturally give your level a like after playing it, but I personally would always just type in the chat "65252506 simple auto, please leave a like 😃" when requesting just to make sure they did. Do note that some streamers have a Google form they want you to fill out with your level ID instead of simply putting it in chat. This will either be in the description (on YouTube) or pop up after doing "!form" in their chat (on Twitch). But most are fine with just playing whatever level ID is in their chat. Keep this in mind too: the smaller the stream, the more likely the streamer is to play your level, since they'll have less requests to get through.
After you watch the streamer leave a like on your level you can just leave the stream if you want. If they don't like your level, do not harrass the streamer and just move on. On that topic, I also recommend keeping a list of people that you've personally watched like your level, just so you know what streamers not to request a second time.
You're going to have to pop around a bunch of livestreams. Since there's probably not going to be 100 unique level request streams going on at any given time, know that you'll have to split up this grind into multiple sessions. Ideally, you could do it during different times in the day and maybe do it within 24 hours, but you'll likely need to just do it across a few days.
Overall, it took me 3 days of grinding Twitch streamers' level request streams to get 100 likes on my level. This ends up being a very entertaining and social achievement to go for, so good luck!

5- Give me a CHALLENGE!
This isn't as hard of an achievement as it sounds. 40 demons will take tens of hours, sure, but it doesn't get too tiresome (if you take many breaks) and there's tons of demons that are super easy. As someone who started this game in an effort purely to get all 120 achievements on Steam, I only started playing a couple months ago and was able to get to the required skill level with no practice other than beating levels.
First, you'll want to finish all of the official levels that are before Clubstep, and get enough secret coins (only 10) to unlock the level. This was the first demon I completed. I sucked at this game, so it took me around 15 hours or so to beat this level alone (it really shouldn't take you that long, though). After completing that level, I was a much better player, and was able to navigate my ship a lot better. I'd like to note that I recommend getting all three coins in this level, none of them are particularly difficult.
I completed more official levels, getting secret coins along the way, until I had 20, which is enough to unlock Theory of Everything 2. I completed a few user-made demons before completing this one (see below for list, I recommend doing the same) but you'll want to do this level early on. This level took me maybe ~10 hours to complete, but got me even better at navigating in ship mode. There's one wave section, but it's not difficult if you practice it. Remember, throughout this process to practice every level multiple times until you know them inside and out. Practice particularly difficult sections by turning off auto-checkpoints and only trying to beat that part of the level in one go. Go for at least the first and third secret coin in this level, they're easy. The second one is a little harder since it's during a wave section, but still is worth getting. See my other guide for "The King's Vault" in order to understand the process for getting 100 coins a bit more.
That's two down. And TOE 2 is probably the hardest demon I had to complete. Don't worry about Deadlocked; the only reason you need to complete the other two official demons is to get their respective Steam achievements (there is none for Deadlocked, luckily) and for 6 coins.
I'll note that throughout the process of beating the other 38 demons, I also intertwined my process of completing 30 map packs. You can either do these before starting with the demon grind, or afterwards (again, see my coins guide for more on those). I should also note that 6 of the demons I completed were to specifically finish 2 demon map packs.
I'm going to now list the 38 demons I completed, in the order that I completed them. They will begin very easy, and end a little bit harder, but still easy. None of these require much precision, particularly with the wave (I never had to get good at that!) and mainly require some memorization more than anything else. Remember, go through practice mode a few times before attempting normal mode, and always go back to practice mode if you're having trouble with a section. As one final note, some of these levels actually have secret ways, which make completing them much easier as you can skip almost the entire level. I didn't pick any of the "secret way" demons that required tons of effort. All of these levels took me on average 40-60 minutes to complete each, but many shorter, and only a few took over an hour in total.
Clubstep - Official level (Difficult at first. By 40 demons, though, you should be able to complete this level easily due to the skill you'll have acquired)
The Nightmare (13519) by Jax (widely considered to be the easiest demon in the game. Many demons on this list will be older levels; this is because if levels of their difficulty were released today, they would not be rated demons (today's "easy demons" are much more difficult). However, RobTop, the creator of this game, never re-rates old levels)
invisible clubstep (1347537) by - (This level is simply Clubstep, but invisible. Do this one soon after completing Clubstep, it's practically free since you should know the layout of Clubstep all too well after completing it)
THE LIGHTNING ROAD (55520) by timeless real (also very easy; takes some memorization for some maze-like parts, but one of the easiest demons ever created)
Theory of Everything 2 (Official Level) (Takes a lot of time, but overall not really that hard besides one decently precise ship section towards the end with a sharp turn)
Crescendo (186646) by MasK463 (Has one ball part that takes some practice, but everything else is very very easy. After completing this level, check your map packs; you've actually now completed all three levels in Demon Pack 3 and can claim 2 secret coins!)
Xstep v2 (341613) by IIINePtunEIII (Simply some basic memorization. Very easy level)
Clutterfunk v2 (358750) by |||NePtunE||| (Medium demon, but it's not hard, just a bit lengthy and has a lot you need to remember. This is probably the hardest user-created demon on this list, to be honest, at least it took me the longest, which was only around an hour and half or so)
Theory of every v2 (369294) by IIINePtunEIII (Back to easy. This one's not difficult at all. You just completed another map pack, believe it or not! This time, it's Remix Pack 4. Go claim another 2 secret coins!)
yStep (70059) by TheRealDarnoc (Super easy, just memorization stuff with this one)
demon park (10109) by M2coL (This one's got a decent amount of memorization. Easy execution, however)
ice cave (318864) by - (Very very easy one, feels short as well)
demon step (213862) by elemelon (Once again, just some memorization stuff, very simple)
demon mixed (566659) by RealOggY (You should recognize many of the sections in this level, as they are ripped right out of many demons you should have now already completed. It's as the level is titled: a mix of demons)
Lights And Thunder (848722) by Lyod (One of the easiest demons in existence; I've seen some rank it as even easier than The Nightmare, but I tend to disagree with that. Regardless, a VERY easy level)
Platinum Adventure (5904109) by Jerry Bronze V (I've heard people say this one got buffed (???) but even if it was, it's an extremely easy level still. This is a newer level, so there's some moving things to worry about. But overall, it's a very easy level to be quite honest)
noobaman adventures (1485305) by noobas (I've also heard this one ranked as easier than The Nightmare. It's very very easy, no idea how this is rated a demon)
Impulse (393159) by MrCheeseTigrr (A very easy level, not much to note)
Super Cycles (57730) by Jax (This one is purely memorizing the tricks, like many levels from early on)
demon jumper (199761) by - (Some memorization, very easy)
Blue Hell (11317271) by LaZye (One of the harder ones on this list. However, it feels very short in length. Has some wave, all of which is slow and easy, just know the timings on the dual section and ball section)
Radioactive Demon (497514) by MrCheeseTigrr (Some memorization, very easy)
Electroman Adven v2 (428765) by IIINePtunEIII (Another v2 level, once again quite easy, as every single one of the levels on this list is lol)
time pressure (897837) by AeonAir (Some minorly precise ship at the very beginning; rest is easy, just memorize)
Crazy Bolt (413504) by FunnyGame (Not much to note; beginning ship part is a little annoying at first but overall quite easy level)
Ice of dawn (449502) by Experience D (This one is very very easy, just some quick memorization)
GREEN DEMON (803536) by - (Also super easy; this one actually has a secret way that skips part of the level, but even without it's not hard at all to complete. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zYOGuey9Ps)
WeoTheory (2734090) by WazE (There is a secret way, despite what the description states. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ns3RHNTbgQ)
Forbidden (589455) by Jeyzor (Just a really easy, lesser known level; no tricks)
Castle (915886) by Jeyzor (This one is easy, but does have a secret way that skips the last quarter of the level, which is very easy to do. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnHTUmNA7kA)
Ruined Planet (184880) by - (Garbage, but you get to skip about 4/5 of the level via a secret way. The first fifth is a bit difficult to get down, but short and easy to practice. The secret way requires some more memorization; see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIIpqADbDLU just remember to get off at 16% and to get the mini portal once you're in ship mode!)
insane club (453613) by - (Very easy level, despite its title suggesting it to be more difficult than Clubstep. There's a couple of secret ways, though the second one is more useful than the first. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYLy97A7Po0)
military (709020) by tuner98 (Just a really easy level, nothing much of note)
seeker of demon (847961) by - (Also pretty easy. Note that the three spike jump in the "mini" mode is not as hard as it seems; jump on the bricks to get some more height and therefore distance off of this jump, or else you're making it much much harder than it needs to be (it actually is possible without the brick jump, but infinitely harder))
Crazy (74482) by - (Garbage level, but very easy. Just remember when to be ready to jump, as you'll far from great heights to be immediately placed onto a single block you need to jump off of. There's an auto section where you go up and down a bunch, just let go there but remember when to click again)
ClubstepDynamix (994282) by ZenthicAlpha (Easier that it sounds like it would be; just some orb tricks to not fall for, a ship section with small memorizations, and a slightly tough UFO section which requires some practice maybe)
Space Club (2085937) by DOmeR (Nice, easy level with not much of note)
dorabaedifficult4 (2029133) by dorabae (It only has one difficult part which is a UFO section with many portals; memorize the clicks here and you're set for the rest of the level pretty much)
XYZ step (110067) by Coke (Basic memory, not even much of it. Very very easy level)
demon forest (305550) by - (Just a genuinely very easy level)
If you complete all 40 of these very, very easy demons, you should now have the achievement "Give me a CHALLENGE!" Congratulations!!!
Note that after this, you still will probably have plenty of stars to grind out for 2000. Good luck, it's all easy levels of YOUR CHOICE from now on!

4- Rampage!
- Dominating!
- Godlike!
The "secret" in question involves the icons on the main menu, moving left to right. All you need to do is click them - no matter the gamemode - and Rampage! will pop, alongside them dying. (You monster.)
Dominating! unlocks after doing that 50 times, and Godlike! after 200. If you're after the achievements not on steam, Wickedsick! will pop after 500.

3- Tonight, we dine in GEOMETRY DASH!
you can save yourself some time by idling through the hundreds of "auto" rated levels. These are user-levels that are completely automatic, so you won't have to touch a thing. You'll be granted 1 star from each of these levels that are star-rated. Be aware that some of these star-rated auto levels are not automatic (improperly rated by users), but most of the ones that fall under that category are disliked to oblivion.
Just simply sort the search by "starred" and "auto" and you'll get a good 400+ free stars and 400+ levels out of the required 1000 for doing nothing but idling auto levels (you'll need 2000 in total for the 100% of the game). I like to do these auto levels on the go usually, or have them running on my phone while doing something else.
Another great strategy for grinding out levels quick after you have all the stars you need is to filter by "Tiny" and "NA" then search for levels called "Free coin" to pop up tons of trash but trivial levels. Most of them consist of nothing but three bronze coins in a 7 second long level. They are completely pointless, but make for good easy and quick grinding towards this achievement. I personally needed around 250 levels still after obtaining 2000 stars and 40 demons, so this helped not waste time.
Make it your instinct to like/dislike every user-level you play. As for star-rating levels, you'll have to grind this out on user-levels that aren't already star-rated, so don't bother playing them if you want to save time (just rate a bunch of recent levels randomly)
Good luck. Bit of a grind for this achievement, as well as the other two user-level related achievements and 2000 stars achievement.

2- Guiding Light
No need to play every level you rate. Most levels you'll play are starred, so this achievement is very out of the way.
Quickest process (~25 seconds per page, which is 10 levels):
- filter by tiny, NA, and search the letter "E" (you can really filter by anything and type any letter, we just want thousands of results that are all NA)
- go to the next page, then back to the previous (the next page will load while you rate the 10 levels on this page)
- scroll to the bottom (the levels on the page shift upward when you go back out of one after rating it)
- rate the level; I usually would do 10 stars since it's the button closest to the "submit" button in the rating menu
- go back to the page; open the level above the one you've just rated and rate it too
- repeat steps 4 & 5 until you rate all 10 levels on the page
- repeat steps 2 through 6 until you have 1000 ratings
I needed a little over 600 more ratings after finishing 1000 levels, 2000 stars, and 40 demons. It only took me ~30 minutes to finish this up. Listen to some music and it'll breeze by.

2- Geometry Creator
This is my method I used to get the achievement. Maybe this is the easiest way to do it.
- First I created a level, it was a simple wave challenge with stereo madness music. In a word, I did not show diligence. If anyone is interested, ID 68863157. It doesn't mean you have to make a terrible level, just do something simple, i think you get the idea.
- I uploaded the level and after that wrote in my profile:: "Hello! since you visited my profile, could you like my level? I'm trying to get the achievement for 100 likes on my level. Thanks for help!". These words must be polite, not "hey like my level plz".
- How did 100+ people visit my profile? No need to spam comments like "like my level", it will only make people angry and they will dislike your level. I just sent friend requests to everyone. I looked for people in the daily level comments, because there are the most active players.
- People received my invitations to friends, looked at my profile, saw the request and helped. The only thing that bothered me a little was the limit on the number of requests that I can send. I could do it in a day, making 1000 friends, but due to the limitation, it took two month. At a time you can send a request about 5-10 times. Just every day, morning and evening, visit the comments in the daily level and send requests.
This is really the easiest way, you don't need to do anything, you don't need to donate to streamers, you don't need to spam on the discord server, just random people from the game will help you. At least they helped me, now my level has 120 likes. Sometimes there were evil people who disliked my level, but they are still less. - After 1-2 months of daily entries into the game for 5 minutes, enjoy a huge number of friends in the game and 100 likes.

1- Master Detective
On the main menu, hit the big play button - the one that takes you to the official levels. Hit left once to see the "coming soon" screen. From there, hit the info button in the top right corner. Hit "ok", then rapidly scroll through all the official levels, spamming right like your life depends on it, until a secret coin comes up. Click it and this achievement, as well as 1 extra secret coin!
-
1- The King's Vault
Here I will outline a slightly easier method of obtaining this achievement. It will still require a fair amount of effort, but won't be nearly as difficult. You need 100 secret coins in total still (the gold ones), however, there's a bit of a workaround involving transferring coins from the free Geometry Dash Meltdown mobile app. Keep in mind you WILL need an Apple or Android device to use this method; otherwise, you'll need 8 more coins not outlined in this guide from the main GD application.
Here's the coins you'll need to get:
-All 3 coins in the first 19 official levels for 57 in total (so that means every level except for Deadlocked and Fingerdash; I recommend getting these coins as you beat the levels initially, especially with Clubstep and TOE2 as none of them are particularly difficult)
-Complete the first 28 map packs, followed by Demon Pack 3 and Remix Pack 4 (these two demon ones give two coins each instead of one) for a total of 32 coins (this is the 30 map packs you'll need for another achievement plus six really easy demons)
-Obtain the "Coming Soon" screen secret coin (random video I found detailing the procedure for this; please excuse the terrible quality of it, I did not create this video)
-Obtain the Vault secret coin by entering in "sparky" (you need 10 user (silver) coins to unlock this Vault; it can be found in the top right corner of the Settings menu)At this point, you should have a total of 91 coins within Geometry Dash showing on your account.
On a side note, you could also obtain the Vault of Secrets' secret coin (requires 50 diamonds to unlock; see here for instructions on this unlock) as well if you feel that you don't want to bother with getting one of the coins in the official levels, but this is not required as you should have already hit the 91 coin total we're aiming for here. The second coin of TOE2 is a little bit annoying, probably the hardest one out of the first 19 levels, so if you're going to skip any other coins in favor of this one, I would recommend that one.
Next, you'll need to obtain all 9 coins on the free mobile-only app Geometry Dash Meltdown. This is a small GD spin-off with just 3 levels (all with 3 coins), all of which are very very easy to complete. It was created to promote the at-the-time new 2.0 update.
After reaching 91 coins in main GD and 9 coins on Meltdown, save on the main GD application on PC, then load on the meltdown app, save on the meltdown app, load once again in main GD application on PC, relaunch the game, and the achievement will pop with technically 91 coins instead of 100. Basically, though GD won't transfer your stats to your account visibly, Steam somehow tracks these "hidden" Meltdown coins regardless of the fact they don't appear on your profile page or anywhere else on any stats pages in-game. However, you won't get the UFO tied to the achievement, and as mentioned your account will not display having 100 coins. I'm assuming if you're reading a guide for the Steam achievement, however, you don't care about that and just want the Steam 100%. This is a nice little shortcut I found independently, but I'm sure someone else has figured it out on their own too.
This method will no longer be as strange to do once 2.2 releases as transfer between Meltdown, World, and Subzero will be programmed properly. However, it will still work just fine, and in fact be twice as good since you can get 9 coins from Subzero as well (18 in total) transferred permanently (and actually visibly!) to your account. As soon as you save again on the main GD application (instead of Meltdown), the 9 coins from Meltdown are no longer tracked by Steam unless you do the whole load-save load thing again; this is why you cannot get 18 coins transferred to your account in this fashion (as of 2.1) since you would need to do this method across two separate applications, where 9 of the coins would be lost due to having to do the method several times.
You can use this same method for all of the coins achievements, so say you're at 66 coins and do the whole transfer thing I mentioned above, getting all 9 coins in Meltdown; you'll then get the 75 coins achievement on Steam. You have to do this method again each time you want a higher coins achievement you're eligible for, however, so this isn't exactly productive to do until you reach 100 coins including in Meltdown.
To demonstrate the method I have provided, I have created a video in which I show the method in action. Keep in mind, I do forget to actually save on the main GD before doing the Meltdown load-save thing, so I end up not getting the "The King's Vault" achievement the first time around. I do show it popping, however.
