Players appreciate the grinding aspect of the game for its simplicity, as it lacks features like "undo," hints, timers, and challenge systems that can make gameplay feel tedious and frustrating. This straightforward approach allows for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience, focusing on completing rounds rather than being bogged down by additional challenges.
