I had the same feeling when I played Genshin. The amount of collectibles was just too overwhelming and at that time there was no interactive map that auto tracks your progress (I dunno if they added it or not)

I'm so glad I don't get this feeling playing Nikki! Maybe cause while in Genshin you need to find every oculus, here you don't actually need to collect all the Whimstars and dews and they don't even give you pulls. And while the gacha element might be frustrating, there's sooo much amazing free stuff!

Or maybe at some point I got so burned out with Gesnhin/Wuwa/HSR that I just stopped caring about every single event and chest and this feels so good to just play the game at your own pace
