Well, poorly done sandbox games are definitely a "turn off" for me, yes. And grind is any excessive actions needed to move the game along within it's story-line. Why have the Oedipus study actions there if they do not serve a purpose? Sandbox games should not have redundant, useless actions in the game when they serve absolutely no purpose. After doing it the (apparently) 3 required times, they should have been discarded so as to not interfere with the game story-line.
The other grind is paying/bribing everybody JUST to score with the sister or mom, whichever it is. And FORCING it to avoid NTR is just plain bad writing.
And here it is, only 0.07b and now we need MORE grind before anything significant happens, PLUS we still need to make deliveries to earn money, find other ways to make money, and grind away before we get to a sufficient level to sustain ourself, our family, and pay the fucked up bribes all over the game.
Of course, these ARE only my opinions, and no one needs to agree or disagree with me regarding them, I am simply expressing me own observations on what seems to be a slow burn, excessive grind, and stupid writing just to avoid NTR if you do not like it.
I mean, perhaps I am wrong, but it just seems the bribe to the nightclub owner is never going to be paid off, and the bribe to the Lady Cop is never going to end and is stupid to include in the game as well. Basically, it is adding too much boring content and drama in a game that should not really need it.
