You may want this if you've heard that Caves of Qud is a good game, installed it and now instantly die all the time but want to learn it by playing instead of reading the wiki or watching someone else playing.

That's it. Worked for me.

my personal experience diving into it

Initially CoQ was appeared frustratingly difficult, but now i'm hooked and even dig procedurally generated lore because i do find its procedures beautiful. Feeling sad about losing my character's library on permadeath was new to me.  Everything makes sense now. Learning this much hotkeys for a game was new to me. When 78-keyed laptop keyboard doesn't seem enough. imo this game is much harder to control than Brogue but much simpler than CD:DA. Both are free and you may want to take a look at them if you're new to traditional roguelikes.
