The scramble is very interesting... Not sure if I was able to utilize those nice lines and pairs in a good way. Maybe it's possible to build an even better 2x2x3?

U' R U R2 F' U' F U R F R' F' R2 U2 R' U' // ZBLL(16/36)

Could also do F’ U2 F at the start of EO/LXS to solve corner orientation, but then you are left with DR in the top layer.

Something is wrong with your solution.

Please use twizzle; you can just copy-paste the url into the forum. The forum automatically does the embedding, and it becomes a nice, (re)playable visualization. Here you can see that your solution does not work (and the problem is somewhere in 223):

I’m pretty sure he just switched E and E’. It’s not really a big deal, and it was legit easy to figure out what he was doing. I think that begging people to use twizzle every time they mess up notation is unnecessary. I actually don’t like twizzle!

If someone makes a mistake and I notice it, I'll ask them to check their solution next time.
You don't have to use twizzle of course. There is alg.cubing.net as well. And of course, it is not required to copy-paste the url either.
But if there is a mistake, I assume no check was made before posting (which can be done in like 2 seconds btw). In that case, don't be surprised if someone points it out.

I fixed it. E and E' were switched. It was my first time using the E slice notation. Makes sense I got something wrong. anyway, it has been edited.
