It's sad to say that, I have to quit Kotodama Diaries for several reasons: 1. This game is meant to be F2P but sometimes I encounter this problem where some of the banner ads in the game not only lags the game for a bit, but also distort the sound effects. I have to pay the game so that it's free from both of these problems 2. At first, I thought the game it's fun because I get to collect all these Kotodama entries, but as I get to a higher level, I start to feel the gameplay feels repetitive. That's because the game's main purpose to grow the Kotodamas is to by generating words to feed. And instead of using the feed function, there are hearts to collect on the screen to fill the meter. The higher level you are, the more points you need to fill the meter, which means you have to use crystals (the pay to play currency in this game) to buy some items to fill the meter more. Furniture is another option to increase the fill meter but it can be quite minimal unless you pay for the more expansive items using coins (the free currency in this game) Not to mention that hearts don't appear at the same rate once you swipe enough. It can slow down and you have to wait for a bit of time to restore it back up. I don't feel much satisfaction completing the kotodama entries, nor other than appearance and dialog wise, there's not much difference between these kotodamas (that I. they just sit there generating coins and/or event items if applicable and II. they have the same sound effect when speaking) 3. Some ads have a very small hit box on the fast forwards/closing, leading me to force close the app from time to time. Sure, the banner ads are gone after paying the ad free option, but you can still have the option to open boxes to gain large amount of hearts by playing ads, or to use the button on the left side of the screen next to errands to use a function that lets you to fasten the rate of heart generation. 4. The game feels a bit lackluster. The events are not really events since you can only collect event exclusive items from either your grown Kotodamas or gain extra ones when your Kotodama reach the final stage of evolution. The items you can get is accessories and decorations for the room. But neither features satisfy me much. With the aforementioned flaws, I'm going to ditch the game. I feel more satisfaction on combat focused games like Genshin Impact since, I feel satisfied on defeating enemies higher than my level (The Okudan challenge for the recent Phantom Flow event is a good example).
