The one I personally know of most people who play is Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms.

Its the natural evolution of a kind of JRPG gameplay. The actual combat is so boring you might as well just automate grinding. So they did!

I don't even get why you have this be a game at this point. Why not just make a visual novel or like a YouTube series? Again, I just do not understand the appeal.

Here are some others:

Some people like the building aspect, progression being more important than grinding. If you can do the progression (picking skills, making production buildings/machines, things like that) without actively grinding, it takes out a lot of the negative aspects of gameplay for some people.

Huh.

Well, whatever floats your boat I guess.

Or in this case builds your town?
