The problem comes from the extreme prices. In theory, my next girl will cost about 22 million to get to 3 stars, and to get it to 5 stars would cost about 180 million as it is now (the new girls will probably have 5 tiers too, and existing ones will be updated over time). This means that to upgrade to 5 stars, it would cost me ~120 days worth of collecting money without missing out on collecting anything for over a minutes. If I collect everything every day for 12 hours without missing anything, that would be 240 days for 1 girl. The koban price also grows, which places the 5 star event cost for my next girl at around 3000+ kobans, which is about 130$+. If someone actually had all girls and they added a new one that would cost about 250 million to get to 5 stars and the koban price would be 4000+... The problem isn't that it's harder, it just isn't reasonable the way it is now. Having to grind for nearly a year for a minimal advantage (which would literally take over a thousand years to make up for the costs) or to unlock a new scene is a big deal.
