Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It also feels like there isn’t much real progression — you’re grinding, but nothing meaningful changes, and eventually it just becomes boring instead of relaxing or fun.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I wish it were more customize-able, probably starting with a more basic\blank canvas look, and getting to a point where different people would have desktop pets/"waifus" that look like different unique characters after dressing them up with their unlocked items.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visuals are competent though not outstanding, while sound design adds an extra layer of immersion.
