Some enemies only show up on harder difficulties, but yes the basic strategy for most books is to kill the enemy, but leave the EXP uncollected. That doesn't guarantee you'll get the book, but it helps. Most enemies are available on Easy, so best to knock those out there. Good luck!
If you destroy a wall, it costs as much HP as you can afford (though there are different tiers), and gives you one less XP (i.e., takes 4 HP, gives 3 XP). Hope that makes sense, glad you enjoy the game!
Always play the easiest difficulty until you start beating it consistently.
If you think about it, you are essentially trading HP for EXP. So you want to maximize the impact of each HP.
Ideally you will use your HP to uncover unknown cells. But you want to do it intelligently. If some dirt says 8, and you have 6 HP, and a 2 monster is revealed, then you know it's safe to hit all the unknown cells around the dirt. If a 5 is revealed, then you know the remaining one is 1 -- so don't reveal it, just mark it.
This is the sort of thinking you must do.
Always open chests immediately, but don't refill your hearts until you've spent them all.
Some monsters are special, like the mummy -- try to figure out the pattern of how the mummy is placed. Then you can locate the mummy early, kill it, and get a nice bonus.

Incredible! Now my completionist ass needs to know how to unlock all the books!
For the enemies, is it just to leave their experience uncollected? Does it require a specific difficulty?

Thank you for this game, I really love it! But quick question: Are these block tiles random? Or is there a specific rule to them? 😅

If it is possible, i would like to provide turkish translation! I really love the game design.
Thank you! You can totally do a Turkish translation. The game is opensource, so you can fork the repo. You can get the code and files here.
Fun game! Maybe one day I can get over my skill issue and actually beat the easy difficulty consistently
You can do it! Let us know if you want some tips or tricks! Thank you for letting us know what you think of the game.
I would like some tips and tricks! Love the game by the way, but wow am I bad at it so far.
It's normal to be bad at first :-).
