In my native language, there’s a very apt saying: “Everyone jerks off the way they want.” Perhaps games are just not your thing. There are plenty of visual novels or kinetic novels where grinding is practically non‑existent or absent in principle (as in KN). Perhaps that’s closer to what you’re into. As for grinding, I once spent about 80 hours of real time playing through the game Bright Past. There was plenty of grinding there. Granted, the developer didn’t rely on RNG, as in this case. I enjoyed the gameplay itself, just like in the case of this game — I get pleasure from the gameplay, not from the plot; the main thing here is the gameplay. Not the tags or anything else.
