Sorry for my really late reply, but i made the code to properly get the total place visits and made it more accurate as previously only starter places were accounted for:

local httpService = game:GetService("HttpService")

local gamesApiCall = "https://games.roproxy.com/v2/users/%s/games?sortOrder=Asc&limit=50" --the api link, you can change the configurations or link.
local universeApiCall = "https://games.roproxy.com/v1/games?universeIds=%s" --universe info api link, this is used to get the game's total visits as previously only starter places were calculated

local function httpGetAsync(...) --let's make a function for this so we don't have to pcall every time
	local response = nil
	local args = ...

	local success, msg = pcall(function()
		response = httpService:GetAsync(args)
	end)
	
	if success and response then
		return response
	else
		warn(msg)
	end
end

local function fetchTotalPlaceVisits(playerId)
	local totalPlaceVisits = 0
	
	local requestLink = string.format(gamesApiCall, playerId)
	local newRequestLink = nil
	
	while true do	
		local response = httpGetAsync(newRequestLink or requestLink, false)
		
		if response then
			local tableResponse = httpService:JSONDecode(response)
			
			for _, gameInfo in pairs(tableResponse.data) do
				local universeResponse = httpGetAsync(string.format(universeApiCall, gameInfo.id), false)
				
				if universeResponse then
					local universeTableResponse = httpService:JSONDecode(universeResponse)
					totalPlaceVisits += universeTableResponse.data[1].visits
				else
					warn("Unable to retrieve universe information, using place visits instead")
					totalPlaceVisits += gameInfo.placeVisits
				end
			end
			
			if tableResponse.nextPageCursor then
				newRequestLink = requestLink .. "&cursor=" .. tableResponse.nextPageCursor
			else
				break
			end
		else
			break
		end
	end
	
	return totalPlaceVisits
end

print(fetchTotalPlaceVisits(85103695)) --YIELDS FOR ABOUT 1-10 SECONDS DEPENDING ON HOW MANY GAMES THE USER HAS.

This is not a very efficient way as multiple API calls are made but it is certainly accurate, this is the only way to do this as roblox does not give us a way to read the total visits, if roblox ever releases an API or any method in the future that allows you to read total place visits directly instead of having to calculate it like this i highly recommend you swap to that, but as for now you can use this.
