Pretty good, although I think it should be faster,. The tempo is a bit inconsistent at times; I believe you sped up at about 0:24 and 1:35, and slowed down afterward. Some section are also a bit choppy. However, I could never play this, much less as well as you did, so good job!
It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

There are some good parts to this, but overall it needs better articulation.  There are many places where the notes are uneven and sometimes you skip passages in order to keep the tempo.  I would settle for a slower tempo if this issue is fixed.  Speed will come with time - don't force it.  I would also play it on a real piano... seems like it may be holding you back.

Try to play it slower first at a speed you CAN play it perfect. Maybe play with a metronome to avoid sloppyness

I think that this is a million times better than the last effort. Almost there now, well done!
