Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it can be enjoyable and rewarding, especially when upgrading characters, it often becomes tedious due to bugs and repetitive tasks, particularly in the late game.

“I was just playing another game when I found this game, and I hadn't played it in a long time. When I got on, I did not know how good it was, so I'm grinding on it now.”
