Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The short answer is: If you have a lot of time on your hands, and would like to experience a unique, fascinating, thriller of a story that has inspired numerous others persisting to this day (see: Arknights), then yes, I do recommend it.
138 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
Go play something else, all there is left is Waifus, which frankly isn't in short supply anymore in the world of Gacha like it was back in 2016~]
117 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Combined with high-quality illustrations, voice acting, and animated sequences, Girls' Frontline succeeds in making its cast feel like an integral part of the experience rather than simple collectibles.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
If you can look past the very underwhelming visuals and the pretty boring first few chapters, you'll find a disgustingly long story that is really fun to read.
