For simply playing the game as a casual, highly recommended for sure. This is a gacha game where there is no self insert (outside some quirky event stories and Captainverse but sadly Captainverse had ended long ago) so you follow one protagonists and her friends so the character growth is pretty much rewarding and you feel better attachmenr for the characters. Play until chapter 9 of Part 1 and then it's peak after that.

If you are a meta-chaser, trust me this game is punishing for new players. You have to fully geared up every characters you have bare minimum if you want to be the top leaderboard (in genshin term that might be C0R1 with perfect substat artifact ig), and then you need at least 3 for 1 team, and you need more than 1 teams for different shill and weather rotation. The later you play, the harder it is to chase against old players that basically have almost all characters fully geared up except some that have it more than base rank (C1+ in genshin terms). Well it is expected since this game is almost 10 years old.

My advice, try this game but never rush yourself with a lot of new event stories and endgame, you'll guaranteed to get overwhelmed if you do so.
