...it's a browser. It shows webpages. How can it be complex? I'm not even trolling, just curious. I was using Chrome until they started trying to kill adblockers. Switching to Firefox was as painless as it could ever be.
I think it only feels overused if you play a lot of RPGMaker-based games. Because most of the free art available for it (and even what is bundled in) is medieval fantasy style, so that's what game devs build upon.
If it's a massive RPG, I wait for a few days so that the inevitable missable party members/items/events are catalogued. Even if there's a NG+, I don't like to lock myself out of missables. If the game is something light, like Picross clones or the Rhythm Heaven that's releasing next month, I'll...
I love simulators too! Especially farming sims, Rune Factory and Harvest Moon (now it's called Story of Seasons). Started playing Trio of Towns yesterday after putting it off for a long time.
I prefer to earn the scenes, but still have the option to unlock everything. Sometimes a game is relatively and subjectively bad, but could have some good scenes. If a bad (for me) game doesn't allow me to unlock scenes, I end up either trying to decrypt the CG and look at that, or just give up.
Gameplay too repetitive and bad UI are the biggest gripes for me. Text-heavy games without backlogs, have to grind for hours doing the same thing over and over for little progress, things like that.

I absoloutely adore this game. I was looking for a "Recettear but eroge" and found this. Now I'm 200 hours in, just finished my second playthrough. It does get a bit frustrating when in NG+ you get quests that require lots of one item and have a very short deadline, but hey, the 200 save slots...
