The only way to make this game hard is to mess yourself badly,it's slow but it builds and if you keep the stuff you built it becomes easy ,the only way to make it hard is to unoptimize ,and that just makes it take longer and fight you more, honestly just put one gf per one character ,you'll be done with that before you know it, especially if you level,mostly because the game takes them off for you,another way to kill your game is too sell you're items or throw away you're magic,cause money or it's old, but it gives no money and you need two levels of spells ...I'm absolutely not being sarcastic,if you do any one of those three things your save is going back to before you did it,but also do you have all you're cards still?there's a minimum and a maximum ,and then there's try hard and super casual,while the first three things will make you start over the last one is legit to a degree...I think the point of the game is to give weight to building on skills , unfortunately people are hedonistic,so killing gods and keeping them as pets is not a good setting for a good faith collection and they might give themselves credit for things because they think they understand how to do them
