I cannot stress this enough: normal difficulty content is meant to be chill and accessible and it is not designed to make you feel like a special, elite snowflake that is better than the chaff of gamer scum that surrounds you. That's just not the purpose of normal difficulty DF content. That's not to say that you need to like it, but if what you want is more difficult normal content, it might make sense to just find a game that you like more.
