Difficulty of normal content.

[Oku-1]

No, I genuinely think the normal content is too hard for normal. I stand by what I wrote.

MSQ content is literally done for you by trusts and contains mechanics that you have done repeatedly for the last 90+ levels.

Any content that does not contribute to getting you to "To Be Continued..." is optional side content. If it's too hard for you, then just don't do that content until the game progression has advanced far enough that it becomes trivial and you can ignore most mechanics.

You are forcing yourself to do content you don't have to do and then complaining about it. It's actually insane.
