About grinding: It doesn't bother me too much in other games, particularly hack 'n' slash RPGs like Diablo. I can't really point my finger on what makes it work and not for CR. Maybe for a game that's designed for phones and tablets, I'm not willing to sacrifice a few hours of my day to gain a few XP percentages, or the skills of the cookies are not diverse/powerful enough to experiment with.

>''..or maybe we were destined to be Cookie Run Masters, muahahaha! There's too much things that I like in here compared to many many social games out there: less pop-ups, less monetization (you decide if it's still there!), colorful graphics, and eargasmic theme music. And I love how Devsisters really keeping things in touch with players, like approaching some hardcore players in popular LINE groups, etc...''

I agree with you here, they have done a good job for a freemium game. I haven't used the Kakao version of the game, so I wish there's more interaction with the LINE players, particularly those outside Japan. I really would like some of those figurines...

Oh, by the way, I'm also happy that I got a lot of responses in this thread. Hopefully we can see more blog posts of this kind written by other people who are more eloquent than me :P
