This is the game every gacha should strive to be!
The grind isn't tedious and sometimes it's fun, the gacha doesn't feel like it's scamming you out of your money and the rewards for events/quests feel balanced it's the opposite of genshin where everything is such a tedious chore and rewards are never adequate.
I don't mind the comics slideshow since I read manga from time to time I actually feel like it's more than what most gachas do + the amazing animations in the main quests make up for "boring" slideshow I guess.
The devs are so so generous with event rewards I never felt like I was missing out and had to pay in order to get everything I want, it's the exact polar opposite of genshin where you'll only have fun if u whale your way through all the banners to actually have fun with it
