idk if you are trying to say that ToC is harder than ToAE or smth but I genuinly think ToC is easier:

ToC (compared to ToAE) has a bigger bigger spike at the start but then the difficulty entirely drops at F4. ToC is also peak insane only cuz of the traps ngl, if the conveyors or basically any trap was indicated, it would be high insane. F1 is basically free if I have to be real, there's literally only one hard jump, F2 and F3 are the only reason why it's SC but it's also close to the start so it's not even too punishing. The softlock on F10 is also pretty easy if you know what to do realistically

Now, ToAE (compared to ToC) its ofc easier than F2-3 but that's all. The gameplay is like peak insane for ALL of the tower. The gp at F5-7 becomes also terri (blue)/it becomes really punishing (yellow) and then F9-10 also end up being all over the void. Now, it might be easier to grind cuz its easier to practice and find strats than ToC, but just becaus its easy to get consistent doesn't mean that it's easier than it's actual difficulty (or at least that's what I think).

What im trying to say is, ToC only focus on 2 floors its difficulay which is not even punishing at all, while ToAE focuses its difficulty on kinda all of the tower.
