Honor in the Trial Mechanic

I'm really not a fan of including a mandatory Roguelike trial that requires perfect play. Honestly, it's a 0/10 mechanic that just makes the trial (which I generally find fun overall) feel TERRIBLE. It was frustrating losing despite having a build that survived everything just fine only to lose to the final boss because I didn't dodge perfectly. I survived the hit just fine, but ran out of honor.
If the game isn't going to respect my time, then I can't see myself putting any more of my time into it.
It's just REALLY bad.
