The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism for its heavy reliance on in-app purchases and intrusive ads, which disrupt gameplay and often feel forced upon players. Many users report that progress is heavily gated behind watching ads or making purchases, leading to frustration and a perception that the developers prioritize revenue over player experience. While some players appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the overwhelming frequency and mandatory nature of these ads have led to a negative reception overall.
“The game is overall good, but to progress in the game it takes forever; the prices for in-game purchases are just too big of a goal.”
“I would like just a no ads purchase option for cheaper.”
“Very addictive game, but the monetization is insane.”
“However, there's no denying that it relies heavily on in-app purchases to progress, especially during events, and the game screen is full of purchase prompts to the point that even during gameplay you'll end up clicking them.”
“The ads are way too much though and the microtransactions make me feel like this developer cares more about money than making games.”
“The amount of ads in this game is disgusting.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and overwhelming, particularly due to the reliance on advertisements for rewards and progress. The need to level up managers for automation adds to the grind, making it feel less enjoyable and more like an ad-farming experience. Overall, the game is criticized for its excessive grind and reliance on RNG.
“The game is cool and still easy, but it gets super tedious. There are advertisement opportunities everywhere to be able to get rewards, to the point where it's a little overwhelming. I made it to level 3, which is arguably where they stopped babysitting you, and have found that you can't actually idle the game anymore because you need level two on your managers to enable automation, which requires relying on RNG to hope that you pull the first manager slot.”
“Just everything kawaii except: it's grindy unless you watch ads to progress faster.”
“Ads farming game, don't waste your time playing this garbage.”
