Users find the grinding aspect overly tedious and frustrating due to poor enemy behavior and tight timing, leading to annoying and unfair moments. They suggest improvements to maintain tension without sacrificing enjoyment or causing unnecessary repetition.

- “Please do some patching to that ending. I've gotten scammed (dying from the entity looking right at her and she still is coming right at me when not supposed to). There has to be something that could be done to keep the tension without it getting unfun and tedious.”
