I *beep* hate Master *beep* Ninja!!!!

Seriously, I loved every second of Very Hard mode (well, maybe not the first two chapters, but that's to be expected). It was really hard, but extremely well balanced. It was my favorite NG experience yet. But I'm 3 chapters deep in Master Ninja, and it is just completely unreasonable. For once, I'm not having fun with the challenge, I'm just getting infuriated. It's not really allowing me a lot of creativity with my tactics. While I never thought I would say this, the level of caution I have to practice in this mode has severely depleted from the fun I was having in all the other settings.

I love Ninja Gaiden and was looking forward to completing every difficulty level, but I just might have to consider bowing out. I think finally playing on Ninja Dog mode will calm my senses enough to try again one day.
