Difficulty for new players

Hi, I’m new to Mortal Kombat. I’ve installed MK11 on Xbox, and I’m really enjoying it. I’m playing the Story mode rn, but I’m having trouble finding the right difficulty level. Medium feels too easy, and I almost never lose, while Hard is so challenging that I can barely win. It feels like there should be something in between.

Right now, I’m on Chapter 3, and I was wondering if the AI difficulty increases as the story and chapters progress or if it stays the same. If that’s the case, I’d continue playing on Medium and wait for the story progression to make the opponents tougher. Thanks
