Review for The Tutorial Is Too Hard

Compelling characters, intriguing story.

The Korean web novel “The Tutorial Is Too Hard” by Gandara tells the story of Lee Ho Jae’s escape from a challenging Tutorial where he needs to climb a tower with great life altering challenges.

The web novel plunges you into a gripping survival game within a perilous tower. From the outset, the novel thrusts our protagonist Lee Ho Jae into a high-stakes death match in the “Tutorial”, where each step forward demands resilience and adaptability. As he navigates the tower, facing formidable adversaries and creating personal vendettas, you will become ensnared in a narrative teeming with tension and grit.

Lee Ho Jae’s unwavering determination to conquer each floor and the obstacles within echoes the relentless pursuit of strength and growth, while Gandara’s portrayal of his trials is both poignant and exhilarating. The diverse cast of characters adds depth to the story, with allies and adversaries alike shaping Lee Ho Jae’s journey in unexpected ways.

However, the novel’s conclusion is rushed and incomplete with the late romance feeling forced and lacking, I wish the author had spent a bit more time developing it. Despite this, “The Tutorial Is Too Hard” offers a captivating experience, blending action, intrigue, and character development seamlessly.

Gandara’s writing style avoids excessive exposition, allowing readers to easily grasp characters’ emotions, while the world-building, though creative, could benefit from more detailed descriptions. The use of non-verbal communication with overseeing gods adds an entertaining layer to the narrative.

The narrative while not perfect and marred by an unsatisfactory ending, still shines above many others in this genre. Overall, “The Tutorial Is Too Hard” stands as a testament to Gandara’s skillful storytelling and offers an immersive adventure that’s well worth the journey. I give this web novel 4 stars.
