The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, with many players expressing that progress is nearly impossible without watching them. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the overwhelming consensus is that the game forces players into a cycle of constant ad viewing to earn sufficient in-game currency, leading to frustration and a diminished gameplay experience.
