Finished reading Hwang Youngchan's "Bastard." I don't usually say this, but this one's an exemption: I hope this gets a live adaptation.
Don't worry too much about the premium currency, though. The game is pretty generous with its OP (short for originite prime) rewards, with frequent events and the story-mode netting you at least 150+ OP. You can use said OP for five things: pulling units in the gacha, buying furnitures in the store, buying limited skins, refilling sanity, or buying pro enhancement packs in the store when you hit a certain level.
As for how I spend it, I personally arrange it like this: Buying pro enhancement packs > saving up for limited skins > refilling sanity > buying limited furniture > pulls for the gacha. I don't recommend using it for gacha, though. There's weekly orundum (different from OP) farms for pulls. It's pretty difficult to explain in text, but I realised that I already typed in a wall, so I may as well post it.
Tl;dr: The first week is purely preparations, no grinding yet. If you're into Tower defense games, you'll love it. The story's pretty good, too (it picks up pace at chapter 5). Ps. Sorry for the alert spam.
Rolled 50 times, no 6*. Well, I wanted there to be no 6* in order for the added rate percentage to increase for the future bagpipe banner.
I become passionately racist towards certain factions in random games. Right now, damned Lungmen and Ursus scum.
Ah, yes. Skins; wholly useless yet completely worth it. They have come to haunt my wallet once again.
Completely worth it. It's like playing a game or braindead novel, there's no actual benefit towards doing so apart from entertainment. As for money, I have more than enough of it, along with time and energy. I'm in that early to late 20's stage where you're single and have a job.
And the dudes that agreed with me kept on blaming it on capitalism. Like, why must everything become political? At some point, it just stopped being about the Pandemic and became a full-out left vs right discussion. Fuck's sake. Lesson learned: don't comment in mainstream news videos.
I kind of talked about it here (https://forum.novelupdates.com/members/pass1478.215876/?page=5#profile-post-421265), but I'm not sure if that was the main reason or if what I heard was correct info.
After a few days of non-stop grinding, I finally got my SA to e2. I'll balance my squad first before grinding for e2 exu.
