Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and unfulfilling, citing a lack of in-game currency and limited resources for beginners. The high costs of equipment and the inefficacy of efforts, such as producing subpar wine, contribute to a frustrating experience. Overall, the grinding feels excessive and poorly balanced.
“This game is incredibly boring due to the excessive grinding required. The in-game currency is too scarce, and the small farm is only available for beginners. The illogical shapes are hard to place, and most of the time, the wine quality doesn't reach 85% or above, making all efforts feel useless. Additionally, every piece of equipment is costly but not useful.”
