You are asking a bunch of opinionated soapers to tell you to do -- liquid soapers at that???? Brave man!
Here's my opinion!
***
1. Make your first LS using a recipe that will give you a clear liquid soap when diluted. This will make it easier to troubleshoot problems, should that be needed. After that, the field is open.
To that end, a good place to start is IL's recipe for general hand and body use --
65% Olive Oil
25% Coconut Oil
10% Castor Oil
Another good recipe would be Susie's LS for laundry -- either 100% coconut oil OR a blend of 95% CO + 5% castor.
To make very roughly 1 quart of diluted liquid soap, size your recipe to use 250 g to 300 g of oils (9 oz to 11 oz).
2. Calculate the lye and "water" weights for your recipe.
I put "water" in quotes because you're going to use water and glycerin to make up this total.
If your KOH is about 90% purity, use SoapCalc with the 90% purity setting turned ON.
If your KOH purity is close to 100%, use Soapcalc with the 90% setting left OFF.
If your KOH purity is about 95%, use SummerBeeMeadow calc.
Set the calc at your choice of 1% to 3% superfat. I use 3%.
Set the calc to 25% lye concentration -- that's a ratio of 3 parts "water" to 1 part lye.
3. Make your lye solution.
First dissolve your KOH in room-temperature distilled water equal to the KOH weight.
Measure glycerin equal to 2 times the KOH weight.
When the KOH is completely dissolved in the water, combine the glycerin with the lye solution and mix.
You can use this water-glycerin-lye solution right away -- no need to cool it.
4. Make the soap paste per Susie's tutorial:

5. Dilute the soap paste per Susie's tutorial (see Step 4 above) or per IL's tutorial:

Unless you have better information, start diluting the paste at 0.5 parts water to 1 part paste by weight. Add SMALL amounts of water after that to find the best dilution.
Use only distilled water for diluting the soap paste. No tap water, no aloe, no fragrance, no infusions -- nothing but plain distilled water.
6. After the soap is diluted and any problems are fixed, add fragrance to the diluted soap as you wish.
I suggest scenting at 0.5% to 1% of the total diluted soap weight (0.5 gram to 1 gram of scent per 100 g of diluted soap).
I recommend testing each fragrance in a small sample before you scent a larger amount -- some FOs and EOs will change the thickness or texture of the soap.
7. Pour into bottles and use. No cure time is required.

I'm sure you'll get a bunch of other opinions, but hopefully you'll be able to sort some sensible ideas out of the chaos.
