Lee Ho-Jae, a former professional gamer, receives a mysterious invitation to the Tutorial World after leaving competitive gaming behind. Confident in his abilities, he selects the highest difficulty—only to discover that the tutorial is not a game he can exit. With a survival rate of just 0.01%, Ho-Jae is forced to endure relentless challenges that push his body and mind to their limits. Trapped in isolation and pain, he must adapt to the system’s cruel mechanics while searching for the true reason behind his selection. As the tutorial drags on, survival becomes less about victory and more about uncovering the purpose of the hell he was thrown into.
The Tutorial Is Too Hard focuses on endurance rather than empowerment. Ho-Jae’s journey is defined by suffering, repetition, and mental resilience, creating a tense atmosphere where progress feels painfully earned. The tutorial setting strips away distractions, forcing both the protagonist and the reader to confront failure head-on.
The story excels at portraying isolation and psychological strain, using difficulty as a narrative tool rather than a gimmick. Unlike many system-based manhwa, advancement here does not immediately lead to dominance, maintaining tension even as Ho-Jae grows stronger.
While its bleak tone and repetitive structure may not appeal to everyone, the series rewards patience with gradual revelations and a growing sense of purpose. Readers who enjoy hardcore survival, mental endurance, and mystery-driven system stories will find this manhwa particularly compelling.
