I'm very new to combat based games. I've only ever played puzzle platformers before. However I fell in love with the atmosphere and lore of Hollow Knight and the more I played it the more I want to reach 112% completion.

BUT I play every boss round about 30 times on average before I beat them. I'm not exaggerating, I counted.

Is it normal to die repeatedly this many times for bosses or am I just hopelessly bad?

I also cannot for the love of God beat the Trial of the Fool. The bosses so far have been easier than that.
