I've had to come to terms with the fact that this game just isn't for me. From the meh platforming to the not so interesting movement in the first half. My biggest problem moreso than any of that is the lack of a health bar. In Dark Souls ( sorry for the comparison, not sorry) every time you fight a boss it always feels rewarding as the damage you deal works as a great way to show your progression throughout the fight and see how much you've improved. In Hollow Knight however, this isn't the case. There really is no way of telling just how much you've progressed through the fight which made each of them tedious and a chore to get through.
