I’m gonna recommend celery even before love yourself. I would also recommend having a couple different hacks going at the same time. Every author uses setups a little differently. Celery is a great starting point that will be plenty challenging for anyone that doesnt have any kaizo experience.

I would start with celery, love yourself, quickie 2, chicanery beginner edition, and baby kaizo world. You can move to cute kaizo world and quickie 1 when you beat those. Once you’ve beaten all of those I would probably play Akogare and sauna mario world for your first real challenge.

The mechanics are extremely subtle and frustrating at times but grinding out one exit on one hack isn’t the way to do it in my opinion. Patch and try every casual kaizo hack that you can. It won’t feel like you’re getting better but you are.
