I used to play LW avidly back in the day, and it got stale after an amazing time of 2 weeks, where I had gone through the legendary brain-melting story of that game. I got back to it a few days ago to check out the new chapter of the story, and it is as convoluted and bullshittery as I had expected it to be. the game has not improved from it's sleeper turn based game which resumes itself to: "you are allowed to delete every single enemy in the game except for elemental EX stages. mad? fuck you lol" and then you just grind and grind and grind and grind again to get every possible advantage you can have. it is hilariously boring, even more so than games like genshin impact which I consider to be a pain in the ass. the gacha element is still retarded because it seems the game does everything in its power to just not allow you to get any characters you want by just straight up giving you 3 characters in a 10-pull but all of them being E-tier. oh yeah, true. out of the (I believe) 100+ characters in the game, HALF of them don't do shit for your team.
since I brought up the characters, let's talk a bit about them.
as I said, most of them are completely useless, with them being there solely to bring you anger because you couldn't get that 1 character that would seemingly fill the void in your soul for grinding this game out. they are separated in the tiers:
EX (best in the game)
SS (extremely good)
S+ (really good)
S (good)
A+ (not great but have their uses)
A (decent)
B (slightly less shit / irrelevant)
E (absolute shit)
their personality is just your average "oh, you came from another world and don't remember anything? well fuck me guess we're all your friends now!" kinda thing. they have 0 depth and I haven't seen an ounce / don't even remember about any character development that is actually relevant. the events involving them are incredibly out of character and honestly hilarious at some points (looking at you Chocolate Maids) and they don't have any meaningful or thought out lore. like ffs phantom thieves is literally Joon stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Joon. crazy stuff
what I would personally like:
-multiplayer coop or even pvp (especially for EX stages cause they're cancer)
-an actually hard campaign and general gameplay aside from EX stages and scarlet devil tower
-a gameplay that actually requires you to use strategies instead of just tanking over everything with graze + spell cards
-a story that doesn't hurt my soul
-making most of the characters actually useful (you have C3 Yukari which literally has no weaknesses and then you have L1 Nitori, which doesn't even do anything)
-making the gacha aspect not as abusive and pay to win or remove it in its entirety (making characters unlockable through story challenges, event quests and such)
-giving a bit more use to story cards in general (only thing useful in them is spirit power gain)
-making the EX stages not as retarded as they are since there is literally NO CHARACTER IN THE GAME that only hits with one element.
-making exchange points for pulls a bit more achievable since you literally need to get like 350 exchange points to get the character you want which is absurd
-making rare points achievable for those who have a life because getting 100 rare points for whatever rare shit is in the current event is absolutely ridiculous
-making paper dolls other than normal or divine more common since it's stupid how many of those I have but none of epic / relic
-making fortune dust easier to get cause I have played this for over 8 months and I still haven't got ONE EXCHANGE for any of the dolls.
-making it so that parting ways with friends actually gives you something (like FUCKING DOLLS) because tokens are irrelevant since story cards can just give all the tokens you'll ever need (cause all story cards you'll need are +Spirit P anyway)
-making coins easier to get because it's not a cool feeling to have 30k spirit points and 8k gold because for some stupid ass reason you need coins to roll for friends?????????????????? STUPID GAME BIDGYSDUGHVDGUUSYVDVUGY
-making god crystals actually being possible to accumulate for the f2p users because I don't think it's balanced to spend over 3 months to gather like 200 of those
I am 100% certain I missed some more stuff but I'm honestly not gonna use more of my braincells to hate this game.
on another note, fuck this game
this was the worst post I made here up until now :)
