Not op but I had the same issue I think I played like 10 hours and nothing ever really clicked... I didn't really know what I was doing, why, what was happening or really anything at all. And I'm no new guy in gaming. Been at it since like 2010. Idk why I didn't enjoy Hollow Knight. It always seemed nice and still does.

Thank God I'm not the only one. I was like "The hell am I doing? I feel like I'm just grinding to grind". Nothing felt interesting about the story and navigating the map felt like a chore of backtracking/figuring out where the hell I should go next. The gameplay was fine otherwise, but I just expected more from a game that supposedly "Redefined Metroidvania games". I feel like it would have been improved with a quest and quest marker system. Some people enjoy exploring every nook and cranny, but I ain't got time for that shit.

I got to the mantis bosses and stalled. I came back when skong came out and found out they were an optional boss. Now I've finished 2 acts of the second game so I guess I've come a way. The second one is so much more in every way though and you probably don't need to play the first before it but it helps.
