Reviews indicate that the grinding aspect in the game is minimal and lacks depth, particularly in life simulation elements like farming and romance, which feel automated and unengaging, reducing player interaction and investment.
- “The 'life sim' elements such as farming and romance are the absolute bare minimum - yes, there's a 'farm', but you don't manage it in any way; it might as well just spit 15 carrots into your inventory every morning.”
- “Grinding feels like a never-ending chore rather than an engaging part of the game. It quickly becomes tedious and uninspired.”
- “The repetitive nature of grinding makes it hard to stay invested in the game. It feels more like a job than a fun experience.”
