The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with many players noting that it can become tedious, especially when pursuing achievements like selling 500kg of each fish type. While the game offers a chill, auto-pilot farming experience reminiscent of titles like Stardew Valley, the repetitive nature of grinding for achievements may deter some players. However, fans of the farming genre appreciate the unique elements and are hopeful for future updates to alleviate some of the grind.
