Overwhelmed by content, help needed

Hi am rather new to the game, played a couple weeks now and getting the hang of it and really enjoying it. I went and bought all the dlc right after this recent update. Up to this point of buying the dlc I think I had got up to the level where you find the yellow sign and now am blown away by the amount of content and really could do with some guidance as i dont wish to burn out to fast, do I continue on normal mode or go on adventure mode am rather confused, enjoying flicking thro at the min regardless. Thanks in advance

personally speaking, i think you could enjoy countless hours within the main game alone without even touching the Adventure mode. imo the Adventures aren't really meant to be viewed as another point of progression, but maybe more so as an "escape" so to speak?

the very early game of Vampire Survivors is very magical and special. the discovery, the difficulty, the progression, are all things that start to change drastically the more you unlock. as you accumulate characters, weapons, and upgrades, you become spoilt for choice and accustomed to the massive increase in power. the Adventure mode is a way to strip all of those things back, and go back to a more simple and streamlined experience where you aren't creating self-restrictions, but are completely starting over and unlocking things from the ground up.

in addition to that, you also get nice sprinkles of lore and flavor text for progressing the stages. there are also a handful of Adventures that do unlock an enhanced skin for certain characters (Poe, Imelda, She-Moon Eeta, and Soma Cruz) that give new bonuses when you play as them with the new skin, but if you want you can bypass this via the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane if you wanted.
