Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and time-consuming, often leading to frustration after long hours of repetitive tasks without significant progress. While some enjoy the initial fun, many report that the grind becomes monotonous, detracting from the overall experience. Despite its addictive nature, the overwhelming amount of grinding can overshadow the enjoyment of gameplay.
“Yes, it is fun for maybe an hour, but there is a tedious grind that is so unbelievably boring. This comes from someone who plays gathering jobs in MMOs and enjoys games that involve painting walls!”
“Played for about 25 hours to finally beat the game... ran into issues with hours of just grinding and doing the same thing over, but didn't advance.”
“After grinding for 6 hours trying to reach the 'gold' team rating, I realized I was going nowhere. I hit the point where I had every single skill point, and even after unlocking all the 'cards' used in battle, my skill points still added up to the point that when I beat the game, I was level 235.”
