    Players find the grinding in "Esports Life: Ep. 1 - Dreams of Glory" to be excessively tedious and time-consuming, often leading to frustration after hours of repetitive tasks without significant progress. While the game is initially enjoyable, many reviewers note that the grind becomes boring and detracts from the overall experience, with some spending over 25 hours to complete it.

    • “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.”
    • “So having to go into the matches manually and play it is time consuming, because after grinding for 6 hours of trying to reach the 'gold' team rating (I was simulating for most of it) I realized that I was going nowhere, and I hit the point where I got every single skill point and after you unlock all the 'cards' used in battle your skill points still add up to the point that when I beat the game I was level 235.”
    • “Yes, it is fun for maybe an hour but there is a tedious grind that is so unbelievably boring and that comes from me who plays gathering jobs in MMOs and plays games that you paint walls!”
