What do u want me to tell u i don't play sandbox , u can say it how u want it Red doesn't make it purple it stays red i don't argue i just asked a question and that was it but no answer for that yet so its your game if u say it's VN style game then i just have to accept it and move on then............................................................edited:Actually have you seen your changelog if that is not A grind i don't know what is repetable,repetable,repetable everything is repetable buying clothes and plus what is with that overview " array of stats, traits, outfits, and upgrades to buy and unlock," if that is not grind then tell me what is it cuz i don't know educate me maybe i am ignorant
So, a grind refers to doing something mundane repeatedly. Such as killing low level enemies for weeks to get an item you want.
In Harem Hotel, you can optionally fuck someone 10 times so they gain experience to fuck better.
Or, with buying upgrades and outfits, you just use the money you passively gain from being a hotel manager.
Using your own metaphor, you are literally calling something red that is purple. In fact, you haven't even witnessed red or purple yet to judge.
Look, if you don't like the game, don't play it. I didn't make this for you. You could even play it and still think there's too much stuff you have to do and not like it. That's fine. We're just saying that you're completely wrong about it being a sandbox or a grindfest, and it makes you look silly for arguing it when you don't even have the experience to have an opinion.
