“Gameplay is pretty much just grinding.”
“There is a myriad of mechanics dedicated to eroticism in combat, and they're either trivialized or you have to purposely let yourself fail to see a scene.”

The game is heavily focused on grinding, with players noting that the experience revolves around repetitive tasks rather than innovative gameplay or impressive visuals. This aspect aligns with its nature as an erotic game, where the grind serves as a means to an end rather than a feature to be celebrated.
“Gameplay is pretty much just grinding.”
“This is a very grindy game, and let's be honest, we're not here for novel gameplay or incredible graphics; this is an erotic game.”

The graphics of the game are not a primary focus for players, as the experience is centered more on its erotic content rather than visual innovation or gameplay mechanics. Overall, the visuals are considered secondary to the game's grindy nature and thematic elements.
