Been playing since launch, and I can really tell that Kuro has been paying attention to criticisms and what players want.
I'm not F2P, but it is very F2P friendly if you look at the order of updates from other servers to guide your savings. I'm only bringing this up because people are crying P2W, which is largely untrue. Although if you are able to afford it, I'd say to get the montly pass. It is really worthwhile (3.3k BC total for 5-6 dollars).
Although the story starts out as probably a 6 or 7/10, the writing has really kicked it up a notch in the past few updates.
Best of all, if you're still seeing low scores after playing for long enough... That's skill issue. Spending will give you an undeniable advantage, so don't aim to dominate the Pain Cage leaderboard F2P. But the core of the gameplay is skillbased. A F2P with skill will always outscore an ungabunga whale. Especially in challenge gamemodes like Babel Tower.
A and B rankers are still really useful, and they can be ranked up over time through interludes. S rankers can also be ranked up over time through PPC shards, which get them to SS. It doesn't sound like a lot, but this is a massive boost and really helpful for light spenders and F2P.
Also the BGM goes STUPID HARD and I've put a few tracks onto playlists. The community is also overwhelmingly positive, which is rare for gacha games.
Plus the characters are pretty hot which is always cool.
"F2p with some skill.." So it's kinda like me with my Watanabe Shadow team. I mean yea i can get a little high ranking sometimes but then again, it was before that i used to play. I don't play it anymore as its boring that i have to do pretty much same rotation everyday like: go to dorm, interect, go to shop, buy something, do a little challenging, spend some sanity, and get my daily rewards. Its so boring. No wonder i quit.

That just means the game is not for you, and that's totally cool. Personally, I find it really enjoyable. But I do want to ask, how far have you made it in gamemodes like Babel Tower, Norman, and Stronghold? Those gamemodes are the real challenges of the game. Especially if you're limited on character options. Babel being the most notable. Also, you summarized most gacha games in what you said about the daily log-ins. I don't know how much experience you have with them, but the genera might not be for you in general. And again, that's aight.
