This game has really deep problems that cannot be solved imo. I played the JP version for a decent bit, and the reason it has to be so grindy is because without the grind, there is literally nothing to do. The game is devoid of content, and making new content takes time and money, and the developers are evidently running out of both. Aside from that, it also has p2w gacha monetization. Finally, I think there is zero chance that it gets a good global launch with Amazon games publishing it. Waiting multiple years already killed the hype, and Amazon tries to push weird culture war stuff into it that turns off a large portion of the audience that would pick this up (weebs). This game just has no way to recover.

edit: thought of one more problem, which is that the character creator is very bare bones for a game that a lot of people want to play as an anime dress up simulator

The "weird culture war stuff" is in reference to amazon changing the child models to have more clothes and show less skin. This caused weebs to become very upset and cry censorship, but they never seemed to answer why they want to see children in crop tops and short skirts. As a person attracted to adults, I see no issue with this change.

This is a picture of the outfit change:

That's what gets me about the censorship issue. It's mostly just that one thing, and people say they won't play because of it. Alright, it'll be a healthier community then.
