Adverb for when you're not exaggerating
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I want to say,
Your situation is, without exaggerating, more severe than mine.
However, I want to replace "without exaggerating" with an adverb. Something like "undoubtedly".
Now I know the word "unexaggeratedly" has not been born yet, and that I can always use the same sentence I mentioned above, but I love using adverbs in this fashion. I'm curious to know if there's an antonym for the word "exaggeratedly".

I would use simply:
[Merriam-Webster]
1 a : without ambiguity : CLEARLY
1 b : without embellishment : PLAINLY
1 c : DIRECTLY, CANDIDLY
2 a : SOLELY, MERELY
// eats simply to keep alive
// simply cleaned it up and went to bed
— Garrison Keillor
2 b : REALLY, LITERALLY
// the concert was simply marvellous
—often used as an intensive
// simply crawling with geniuses
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
As you can see, there are a lot of synonyms for simply. Of those, I think that both clearly and plainly would also be good choices for your sentence.
