[Help] I’m trying to de-tile but the tiles are coming up in tiny fragments and are taking a really long time

I’m de-tiling the entire downstairs to make way for laminate floors. It’s about 80m2 to de-tile but it’s taking a lot longer than anticipated. I’ve taken out about 6m2 over the course of 6 or so hours, and after 2 hours my hands went numb and tingly so I’ve been trying to space it out. I’m using an”air demolition breaker” meant for de-tiling but the tiles are coming up in small bits (1cm2 sometimes). I’ve watched videos on YouTube but all their tiles come out so easily. I’ve used a hammer and chisel but because of the adhesive, I can’t get under the tile properly so it just ends up chipping a lot and coming apart in teeny tiny pieces. I’m not really sure what the adhesive it but it sure it tough and the tiles are really stuck on it. Is there anything I can get/do to get the tiles out easier? Otherwise between work and life this will end up taking months.

Here is a photo album of the tool, tiles when they came away in decently sized chunks in one part of the floor, adhesive, and what it looks like in some parts. https://imgur.com/gallery/DQ5iG6A
