Falling up would be instantly dying to drop ship over and over as a first extreme lol. Thats my experience with me going for it rn. Also maybe skill issue but the gameplay genuinely kinda cooks my fingers lol. Krmal never lets a cube get to the apex of the curve after clicking an orb because there is always another orb just one block away.
I beat prismatic as my first (and only) extreme. it’s slow paced and precision based. it did make me mad and took me like 8k attempts but it felt like the only extreme I could actually do. cataclysm is also pretty good I have like 5k attempts on it but it’s more ship based and it’s also quite precision.
If you dont want the obvious 2 (acu and cataclysm), i included the skillsets too
Cyclone - fast paced, definitely recommended if you want a short level, personally thats why i did it as my first extreme
Retention - timings and learny, woogi classic, amazing level
Incipient - fast paced and second half carried, a really fun one, the predrop isnt too bad though it is slow, but the drop is amazing
Cerebral hemmorhage - wave and learny gp, idk if you like nc levels but if you do this is a great one, i personally love it because it does more than just wave during the drop
Precipitance - click sync and semi awkward gp(?), probably the easiest of these, likely even easier than acu though i am not too sure if it is, i said semi awkward gp because it felt weird to play imo though its satisfying to pull off
A classic that nobody ever goes for is The Ultimate Phase. Genuinely such an underrated pick, though it is definitely on the side of harder beginner extremes, so good luck if you go for it.
La Llorona is also a fantastic pick, though can be a drag from 0 for some. Thanatophobia was like that for me but La Llorona for some reason wasn't so idk
For some popular options, Dark Odyssey and falling up are on the lower end of the list. You can also just go to AREDL and sort by enjoyment

If you want a unique first extreme, check out Zettabyte by Jenkins. I did it as my first and highly recommend it.
Proteus
I heard Niwa is a good option. I also heard 70 sucks though
From my experience niwa is not a good level to go for as a hardest.
niwa is an amazing option. it has a difficult ending but thats how gd is better start sooner rather than later
Niwa is okay but the waves are pure dogshit (as with most reta style levels)
Acu

maths 👍
Retention :)
my worst level by mrpoopyburger
Prismatic, STRATUS, Rivers of Nazareth, Acu, Cataclysm, Air Tech... Most of them are fine.
Cataclysm is a great first extreme. I've only heard of acu on this list
Not a great level but makes sense for a first extreme
The super hotdog

I really like Azurite but it's really refresh rate dependent from what I've heard
Glisten was my first extreme
Oxi Endurance I Wanted To Sleep
decay by kiwipenguin is great if you like timings
Neon Guts is a good one. Almost no one’s heard of it but I found it to be quite enjoyable as a first extreme.
The depths above. Misty mountains took me 3 years to beat This level took me one week Please, play Outer wilds
You could take a look at reanimate and virtual collapse.
Through the decay, Sweater weather, Acu, Cataclysm, The Lost existence if you want something xl
Without U with easy and gimmick gameplay very consistent beat it twice in gap of 20 attempts due to recording.
Lost love is also good beginner extreme with easy gameplayb and memory.
Cata is by far the best entry level extreme
Says the one who jumped from fingerdash to poltergeist and only has 40-100 😭
So?i have 30-70 on cata

Voided, it’s rlly fun
Cataclysm is the only way to go
