For me, it was when reading jewellers sanctum. I got into OSR (OSE spacifically) due to a bundle, I was initially sceptical of it a year or two back when I first heard about OSE due to the perceived deadlines.

I figured that I would start the characters with max HP and or at level 2 and it should all be good. However while reading the adventure it clicked for me : the monsters are not that deadly alone. A party of first level characters generally has the advantage in any individual fight or against any single enemy. However through the dungeon their resources get depleted rapidly and picking unnecessary fights results in more chances for things to go very south very quick. So it is deadly but in a way that pushed creative thinking, not punish it
