Right now I have been using data stand consists of making folders in the Player and putting values in that folder. Currently I have 3 values, MaxExp, Exp and Level but I have heard that there are better ways so saving player data that is safer and more convenient that the method I have been using. I heard that using modules are better in saving player data but the problem is, I don't really understand how they do those kind of data saving system. Can someone help me with this or send me links that can help me understand how to make a data saving system using module script? Also, I have read the roblox dev forum about Saving Player Data and I didn't really understand how it worked. P.S. I know how module script works.

Haha... Module scripts can't run code! You're using a module script because the icon looks better, right? You can require the module in a script and run code like that.
Module
local m = {}
function m.New()
local k = {}
-- create data stuff
function k:Get()
local r = {}
function r:Save()
end
return r
end
-- other data functions
return k
end
return m
Script
local thicc = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.DataStoreModule)
local datastore = thicc.New()
local data = {}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
data[Player.UserId] = datastore:Get(Player.UserId)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
data[Player.UserId]:Save()
end)

Module script is like a box filled with functions, so if you use functions instead of it won't really matter unless other factors.
