Dense has a meaning. Either something meets that meaning or it does not.

Have you ever seen a Japanese translation of an English novel compared to the original? They're huge. To use a random example, the English version of Angela's Ashes is 364 or 368 pages, depending on if you have hardcover or paperback. The Japanese version is 574 pages. There is even a two-volume set of Angela's Ashes. (I only linked the first volume)

I have no idea what a "speedrunner" is.
> They are able to convey the same amount of story with less characters. By definition, that would seem to suggest that the language is more dense (in terms of carrying across more meaning with fewer characters).
No and no.
