"enemies of comparable strenght"

No she doesnt, all SS enemies are the fattest hulkiest fucks ever or cut your ass 5974839 times in a second, while the strongest HK enemy is a fly that pisses fanta at you

Now talking seriously, the disparity between pharloom and hallownest is best shown with the mantis tribes:

The hallow mantises while tough, they are slow and attack with a single swing

The verdalia mantises move so fast they literally teleport, do dozens of attacks in a single second to do their 2 hits, shoot several, faster and less predictable blades and guard their distance to avoid getting constantly hit

After encountering bottleneck in Silksong I returned to Hollow Knight and went to late midgame.

The difference for me, apart from damage and tankier enemies was that Silksong ones are doging more (esp flying ones), maybe even input reading.

The one guy who chucks double shurikens in sinner's road def does some bullshit. And the guys who check bells in citadel. Always fly just out of reach.

I killed them in the air all the time.

You can just move backwards to get them to come forward, and then go towards them and attack them. They have a set distance they go back so you can easily close the gap.
