Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious due to a limited variety of enemies and the lack of equipment upgrades, as character progression relies solely on leveling up through repetitive battles.
- “The battle feels tedious after some time, because the types of enemies are limited and your characters don't have equipment. They can only become more powerful by leveling up, which requires grinding, of course.”
- “Grinding becomes a chore rather than a challenge, as the repetitive nature of battles and lack of variety in enemies makes progress feel unfulfilling.”
- “The game forces you into endless grinding to level up, which quickly turns the experience from enjoyable to monotonous.”
