The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized due to an overwhelming number of ads, which often interrupt gameplay and can be frustrating for players. Many users express dissatisfaction with the requirement to watch ads to unlock features or progress, even after paying for an ad-free experience. While some players suggest turning off Wi-Fi to avoid ads, the consensus is that the excessive ad presence detracts significantly from the overall enjoyment of the game.
