Variant & Criterion Dungeons

[CKNovel]

The first two bosses of variant are a delight.
Fast paced mechanics, interesting mechanics and thematic.
But the last boss is pain. It might not be later on with the strategies.

Clearing the trash isn't interesting at all. As Yoshida said, multi pull is too dangerous.

The rewards are really disappointing, the extreme feels a bit... Not extreme but far closer to savage, it's harder than P5S, P6S and P7S combined.

Difficulty is subjective imo. Personally I found what I've seen so far in Criterion to be really deadbrain though I know for people just dipping their toe into harder content it probably is a bit jarring. Was really cute watching new people on fresh progs be like o.o this is way harder than I expected.

Variant was something I could just autopilot because most of the mechanics are things seen before in other trials/dungeons. Already have all 12 notes and the mount, will say the secret boss was the biggest pain of them all.
