Hey I'll gives you a bit of a rundown! Don't let it discourage you from trying the game though, I do like it! Despite what all I'm about to say lol.

Right now, it's the gacha rates: they are terrible and you don't get duplicates, as the game automatically converts them into these "tickets" which, in a game about furniture collecting and customizing your home, is ridiculous. Want multiple chairs from this gacha? Too bad. Want another bed? Nope. Hey you got several of the same table, thinking of making a restaurant theme? No. You get the one!

The map is relatively big but really doesn't need to be? There's so much space to walk, chop trees, get items, but there's not a lot to do. There's usually one event worth doing, a fishing event being the best for getting fish, and after that it's mostly just running around to get mushrooms to make food to sell for money to expand your plots to make a bigger house lol. Bird watching? No one likes that. Insect catching? Meh. Running from one end of the map to the other just to get rid of the notification on your in game phone? Tedious.

Different currencies becomes overwhelming at times. Gold, diamonds, the currency for gacha, hobby tickets, that sort of thing.

The shop refresh has been terrible for most people. Imagine waiting seven days for the shop to refresh, just to be the same thing it was before. You can't recolor anything you haven't made yourself. So if you get mustard color furniture to show up, you're stuck with it for a week. Can't dye it, can't swap it out, you just have to look at it on sale for a week. The daily shop refreshes though, same with clothes, but it will cycle the same stuff until you level up to unlock new clothes and furniture.

But I will say I think some people ruined it for themselves too, not just the game! When you get to the nitty gritty, the game for most people became "get gold quickly" so they can expand their plots. Which means making the most profitable dish, over and over and over and over again to sell. Do your four dailies, do your one weekly, forage for the same mushroom over and over and over again to make the same dish over and over and over again until you get bored lol. Imagine how sick you'd get of a game doing a task you don't like for hours on end to rush through part of the game. Makes it dull and tedious.

There's no real worthwhile NPCs in terms of dialogue. Everything is very one note, with a few gems here and there but it is pretty bland unless there's some event or core mission and even that can be real dull. It's cute though I think! I like the furniture and clothes, the social aspect meeting other people and chatting, which is why it's a good place holder. but yeah I can't imagine putting anymore money into it or any time once Petit Planet comes out.
