The Tutorial Is Too Hard is a popular novel that blends Action, Adventure, Fantasy and more. Written by the author Gandara. A total of 243 chapters have been translated and the novel is complete.
On a normal boring day, a message appears, inviting him to a Tutorial.
A tale about Lee Ho Jae and his escape from the Tutorial.
But he just happened to choose the hardest possible difficulty: Hell…
💡 The Solitary Apex. The story utilizes a unique dual-timeline narrative. We see Lee Ho Jae at Floor 60, already a cynical, god-like powerhouse, and we see him at Floor 1, a terrified former pro-gamer. The bridge between these two timelines is a harrowing journey of self-mutilation, PTSD, and a "growth" that feels more like a descent into something non-human. It is a slow, methodical, and often lonely climb.
"He didn't choose to be a hero; he accidentally chose the difficulty level that forced him to become a monster."
*380+ chapters of isolation, repetition, and the slow realization that you're not reading about a hero anymore.*
Ch. 1–50 (The Descent): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Peak Suspense. The introduction of Level 1 of Hell is legendary. The sense of danger is visceral, and the psychological weight of the MC’s isolation is established brilliantly.
Ch. 51–180 (The Methodical Grind): ⭐⭐⭐ – The Slow Point. This is where the "Dark Souls" comparison is most literal. It becomes a series of floors where the MC trains meticulously. Some readers find this repetitive; others love the tactical "manual" feel.
Ch. 181–380 (The Transcendent Apex): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Cosmic Shift. As Ho Jae reaches the higher floors, the mystery of the "Gods" and the nature of the tutorial take center stage. The focus shifts from "How do I kill this monster?" to "What am I becoming?"
