It's near impossible to reach 99 on original without bot. Its boredom is true evil that no one can really stand it, and even if you are botting, you still have to use multiple CD keys and CD Key changer on the bot. So you can avoid temp ban/realm down. Still, if there is lag, or disconnection in the middle of battle, you are likely to die.
Even chicken function won't work in lag. Normally if you are soloing the baal run with bot, assuming that you finish the game around 3 minute mark. If you get 1 disconnect or death in every 3 days.
You will never reach level 99. In original Diablo run, i think its around 11 days or so, if you get disconnected once, you can never reach level 99. (Depending on characters' spec, it varies of course). When I was botting with 5 bots in one game. (4 accounts to boost exp, and 1 main running for most exp). It took about 4 weeks. (2 or 3 deaths occurred).

In original, i hit 98, and could not reach 99. Due to disconnect. My gears were decent but not decent enough to survive lag and disconnect.
In 10 years of my D2 career, I hit 2 99s during power cow leveling(it was the easy times), and 2 chars during (Uber level, now the minions no longer give exp). 1 character on baal run. And one 98 on original. Doing it manually by hands? Maybe a person with no life can do it. Or if he/she is getting paid for it. But if there was no experience loss upon death, it would have been much easier, and my journey to 99 on original would have been possible.
Since we have no exp loss in D3, it would be much easier. It'll be a lot more interesting if the levels progress linearly as opposed to exponentially with the amount of experience you need. If 1-2 is anywhere near equivalent to 99-100 it'll take a lot longer to level than you suggest.
In D2 it took 10 hours to go 1-90 and then 10 months to go 90-99. If they just balance that out with the paragon levels (which i'm like 100% sure they will) it'll take loads more time to go 1-10 in paragon than it would take to go 1-90 in d2, and sure some guys are going to get to lvl 100 paragon, but there's no way it's going to happen over night, and there's almost no way that bliz is going to be stupid enough to make going from 1-90 instantaneous while making 90-100 incredibly tedious.
