HRtP is janky, but it's a jank you can learn. I struggled with getting my first 1CC on Easy when I started out, and now I've beaten both routes on Hard.
It's a game where you really need to learn scoring strats just for survival, to maximize points gained per bomb, for example, so you can reach every boss with max lives. Watch Lunatic 1CCs, score runs, or even speedruns, and you'll start to catch on to these strats (for example, you can kick the ball in a loop on certain bosses, making them infinitely easier). Learning all the special moves and the trajectory arcs they send the ball at helps too, of course.
Also, Hell/Jigoku is quite a bit easier than Makai, if you're just looking to clear one of them. It's akin to using the best shot type versus the worst shot type in the other games.
