My playing has gotten dramatically worse since I decided to read books and watch instructional videos more seriously, Puzzles, lessons, whatever. Is everyone suddenly so much better at lower levels. I feel like every time I try to follow a lesson, my opponent does something entirely different than what is expected.
Anyone else have similar experience?

I would say below 1500 books aren’t useful. 1500s make blunders a lot so they won’t really follow the theory

Lessons are like free Chessable courses. They’re also good

No books or leesons will help you if you blunder all your pieces every game.
