The grinding aspect of the game is a significant point of contention among players, with many describing it as excessively tedious and time-consuming. While some enjoy the challenge and find satisfaction in the rewards from grinding, others feel it detracts from the overall enjoyment, especially as the game progresses and requires increasingly more effort to obtain necessary materials and characters.

- “I've been playing for at least 4 years and the game has now started to feel very grindy lately and very buggy.

It's no fun if you're on the cusp of winning a match to climb up in rank only to have the game crash and register the fight as a loss. If this doesn't get fixed sooner or later, I'm honestly thinking of retiring from the game and playing something else.”
