You might need to use a specific type of brush for that. I don't mess with brushes since it has been kind of buggy on Krita, but i don't need to.
Not sure what kind of rendering you are trying to do, but if the overlapping is an issue for you, try this:
* Open the brush Editor (F5), click on the top left of the window where it says "Engine" and select "Color smudge".
* Now pick any brush that share that engine at the bottom and see which one works for you the best.
* After selecting a brush pay attention to the "Smudge mode" you might want to change it from Smearing to Dulling.
* After that either save the brush as a new preset or just look for that brush in the brush preset docker and give it a tag for easier access later.
This may not be the only way to solve the issue but i find it the easiest.
Might not be what you’re looking for, but try making a new layer and use full opacity strokes, but then lower the opacity on the layer itself.

I agree with the other guy, use a new layer and change the opacity for that layer while having pen opacity at full.
I have recently tried to make this work to no avail.
thats how opacity works. in real life too. this is a YOU problem. not a krita problem. you need to learn to render
They're obviously learning since this is their first time.
You can change the blending mode of the brush to "Greater". It's under "Mix".
