How to Level 21+ and NG+ Sucks?

[D.A.R.K.]

I just beat the game with my Paladin Level 20 and now I'm playing on NG+
Question: What's the purpose in play in NG+ if I will face harder enemies but receiving the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ rewards? There's Bronze Coins on the ground and Common Items in Chests... Shouldn't Items and Coins be better since I'm playing in a harder difficulty?

How do I upgrade the Paladin to Level more than 20? After I hit Level 20 I just stop to gain XP, I did think the reason it's because I'm playing in Normal Mode and that's the cap of the Normal Mode, but I'm in NG+ now and enemies aren't giving me XP, how to I unlock the next Level?

It's called replay value. there is no point to playing the game at all, but the NG+ levels are there for a challenge and replayablilty. Paladin is a great one to beat the game with first, it makes everyone else a lot less squishy. run it with all the other chars and you'll have no trouble with NG+

also, the bosses and some of the enemies change drastically in ng+ and beyond. They don't just get more stats, they get new abilities. It really changes the game. There are also some secrets in the game that I didn't find until pretty deep into it, which I think was awesome.
