This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

hmm, that's kinda funny cause I actually play lots of Genshin. But the system in practice works and feels very differently. (I also started working on this before Genshin released, and didn't know what a gacha was before I started playing that lol)

In Genshin, as F2P, you get 70-80 or so pulls per patch (6 weeks), but in my game, it should only take a few minutes to get an upgrade attempt in the late-game. And of course, you also get other resources like XP and loot for other stuff at the same time. Upgrades are only one part of progression, and you don't need to collect dozens of weapons in the late game, like you do with characters in gacha games.

Also, I'd never wanna sell power in a game I made, not that I think I'll ever get to a point to release this in the first place, it's just a hobby project :)
