It didn't matter if you had some girls that weren't top level, because you were able to complete everything available at the time without them. By the time they released the newer content we were ready for it. You hardly noticed the grind because it wasn't holding you back.

AB's XP grind is quite a bit more evident, though. Lack of levels is holding everyone back, and they shouldn't have released PoC until most of the first players were finished with the map tiles and wanting something to do with their oil. AB's grind isn't keeping people interested, it's deterring them from playing.

Also, I don't know why they're being so stingy with the candies when that's the whole point of playing the Nutaku version vs. the Android version.
Well said.
This and This. Pretty much. The game is content light, the grind feels pointless and less rewarding than in other games, and the fact that they put the Character short stories and Scene behind a resource that is extremely limited just feels like a stupid thing altogather.
We are supposed to get events eventually, but I wonder how many people will still be playing that game at that point, seeing as good amount of people dropped from the PoC might suggest a drop in overall player base as well.
