The grinding aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it enjoyable and addictive, while others criticize it for being overly reliant on auto-grinding features that diminish engagement. Many appreciate the convenience for busy players, but others express frustration over the lack of meaningful content and the repetitive nature of grinding, especially after reaching higher levels. Overall, the experience varies significantly depending on individual preferences for active versus automated gameplay.
“It's great for busy people because let's be honest, grinding sucks.”
“The game is fun and somewhat addictive; however, you're not really getting much out of the character customization. The festival feast was very glitchy and laggy to the point where I had to exit the entire game just to quit the event. The graphics look good, and leveling is fast until you reach level 50. There's really nothing to do after level 50, and grinding takes so long to level up once you reach that point.”
“This game is not good at all. Even the voice lines are lacking; it doesn't have Japanese voice lines. After finishing all the quests, it gets boring and boring. There's nothing to do but watch your phone while farming XP. It's just a waste of time. I hope this game dies; many people wasted their time and always sleep late because of this game.”
