The game was more difficult at the start. Less gold, harder to get high grades on courses, more requirements for the best endings... but with each update, the game was getting easier.
Now many can get the most difficult ending without even knowing about its requirements on the first playthrough

Ok. I was sitting here going "This... This seems really easy..." Too bad, I'd have enjoyed trying it when it was challenging. Still very enjoyable though.

Hopefully devs will improve the situation with some DLC or major update... I'm going to remind them about this "problem" occasionally

While this game is indeed rather easy, not everyone can get the "Volcano goddess" (I believe this is the most difficult one?) in the first playthrough simply because you need to buy most (if not all) master courses and have at least 1 of them for every subject.

Well. It is not true. The game offers 6 free and 18 paid master classes. I didn't check for sure, especially after the last update, which made the task much easier, but maybe you will need to buy only 2. Or, in the worst case, 8-10. I guess this is more than possible even in the first playthrough. But a beginner is unlikely to be able to buy all 18, since there is not much money at the first stage of the game and the benefits of these courses seem doubtful at first. I, as far as I remember, bought 9 courses in 1st pl and had all 500+ except literature (but 700+ in bow and sword). But otherwise I met all the conditions.

Narrative of the game doesn't really work with being "hard" per say. You can pick almost completely random things in the game and get higher than the lowest tier endings. The game is very story based with pushing you to completing a lot of interesting things.

The game narrative pushes you too much to be special as oppose an character that finds destiny through their own actions. It's not THAT big in retrospect so it's not like you can waste a lot of time for fun doing a ton of random ♥♥♥♥ that doesn't really put you anywhere.

So if you do a bit of min-maxing and good planning you'll get a ton of points, which in then the benefits are VERY VERY strong and near cheat level.

It was never challenging. The game was always easy.

As someone who doesn't usually play this kind of games, I like the difficulty the way it is now. IMO, make the game harder and it'll result in people like me just skipping the game.
I get it - you guys are insanely good at the genre. But this doesn't apply to everyone.

In my case, it took 3 playthroughs to get the Volcano Goddess ending. New Game + is also completely fine. Personally, I liked my 1st playthrough. But also, I absolutely loved being extremely overpowered and taking full advantage of the exploits in the next two playthroughs. I love being overpowered in games in general.

Honestly the game is much too easy. Finished my first run and was planning to do a second to try and get a better ending... but I already got the 'True Ending'? And I have enough new game + points to completely trivialize everything already? Not much point in having a bunch of different endings if you have to purposely fail to ever see them, and not much point in having the new game + credits when you can nearly max everything with the first run. May as well have just unlocked all the scenes in the gallery or something, there's no actual gameplay left.

Besides the talent points you get as you play the game, that can be put toward bonus points in new games, you can get farm indefinitely for gold, by doing part time jobs and using that cash to get fertilizer, farm wheat, cook bread for move points that can be used for part time jobs. Plus tons of stat points and items that can be sold also for gold.

Easier done in 2x gold part time days, but you should get a net positive of gold no matter what.

Holy thank you!!

Compared to Princess Maker 2, this game is a walk in the park.
