Why do you hate Guy?
He doesn't exactly have a developed personality, except for the fact he can talk to animals, which I thought was pretty cool.

Keep in mind that the leveling system in this game is not supposed to be actively exploited, it is designed to automatically strengthen your characters according to their needs, so if you for example use magic and drain MP a lot, you will get a higher max MP; same with all other stats in this game: if you always get low on HP, you will get higher max HP, if you use physical weapons, you will become physically stronger plus more proficient with the weapon you used etc.
It is a very interesting idea in theory, although it might be kind of impractical sometimes.

My best advice is that you should let the leveling handle itself on the world map, and in the dungeons you should exit when you need to and the re-enter; this will gradually make you stronger and stronger each attempt.
