But I'm a real slowpoke because I beat game twice in Explorer Mode,
and can't beat the game on Normal Difficulty again :')
I'm still playing without guide...
So I don't know
1) how much stats do I need to have on different bosses?
2) what spells and skills no needs to learn?
3) How to read all books before Alicia is ruining my Intelligence and ability to read science books?
4) What material isn't good for workshop upgrades?
5) How to find the time to works in Undeground Bar, because all the time I found other actions (Read Book, Craft, Scenes, etc) (I'm on Day 60, and still no one day for Waitress works, because I'm afraid to lose the time. I'm reading books or learn new spells) Do I need Waitress work at all to get some support or money on Normal Difficulty?
PS For me the Normal Difficulty - is the Hard Difficulty :'D
PPS The Guide - the cheat for me
1. You might not have learned to do this in Explorer mode, but acid bombs are super effective and important to use on almost every boss once you can get them.
2. don't get assassinate, just isnt worth the investment. Some people like offensive stance, but it is just too dangerous and awkward to use 99% of the time. Rock armor isnt needed if you use lightning jam coatings sometimes, but that also costs money. I never bother with tremor. Bomb and coating proficiency arent needed. Divine guard is only useful in 1-2 fights imo. Skip flaming robe.
3. Just focus on reading the important ones, I didn't bother with the lightning skillbook or the +1 attack one in my last playthrough.
4. Don't use materials that give less than +3 stats past the early game IMO. For example never use pyromantium, the measly +1 attack aint worth it.

a: easiest lewd money early on is the woman who does nude paintings in Riverflow and also going on a date with hermman twice so he takes you to greed festival, letting you collect 3k gold from edwin for your favor (you don't have to play along with him either). The loot that Aura gets from giving the cultist prisoner in jail a handy is also quite valuable.
b: Main ways of getting money is doing quests,killing human/humanoid enemies, treasure chests, and lewd/corrupt stuff.
c: even on Hard, there is enough money to beat the game with a good ending and minimal lewdness. If you are willing to do some lewd stuff, it actually isnt that bad. The biggest necessary payments in the game are for Radiance (6k gold), Pasciel (20k), and the Humilitas Rune (20k). I don't recommend skipping the pascial payment even in a lewd run because the debuffs you get are so awful, but banging Trademond for 10k gold twice (or once) is probably worth it if you don't mind lol.
Main difference between Hard and Normal difficulty is just money mostly, enemy stats are the same. Nightmare mode though seems like actual CBT with the +30% enemy stats, I don't even wanna attempt it.
