Finally uninstalled LostWord, here's why.
Hello, r/touhou_lostword. I've come to my conclusion to stop playing this game because of exhaustion and greed from the developers. I really wish I could keep playing LostWord just to get the game's files for ripping, but as I play other games as well as I play them more on my laptop, it felt like this game ain't worth playing anymore. Players who quit the game have slightly same-y reasons, so I'll have my reasons why I've decided to stop playing this game altogether.
1 - Fanservice and little girls and lap pillows with an invisible Lossy.
Almost every gacha game is saturated with fanservice, in LostWord's case, aged-down versions of existing adult characters. Sure, I find some adorable like the school W5 Suwako, but most are annoying and unnecessary to look at for me. Limbus Company's April Fools 2026 has aged-down Sinnerlings, yet they act like real schoolchildren rather than being called "small" by B2 Junko and other x2(small) units. Lap pillows are nice, but I really want to see our Lossy sleeping on some units' laps officially drawn by the lead artist Rotte1109!
2 - Gameplay is officially boring nowadays.
Originally, I wasn't going to play LostWord as someone said on Twitter that I was supposed to be here for the amazing art, not for getting waifus nor the gameplay. Yes I can agree that the gameplay is currently the biggest issue of the game. You just pick your waifus, send them to battle and spam spell cards, you win. That's all of it.
3 - Almost everyone in the main story dialogue, especially the event stories act like buddies.
The main story until Interlude → Chapter 4 - Eternal Battlefield were decent, but I can't say the same for the events. Holy crap, the event stories are just nothingburgers and only introduces the limited units as well as the Aya Pass units. They are the reason why this game has so many characters.
4 - Compared to Touhou Mother, this "fangame's" just a gacha game with Touhou's IP for marketing.
Touhou Mother is a fangame I recently played and it's designed to be a parody of the Touhou Project and EarthBound, while LostWord, on the other hand, is just Fate/Grand Order with Touhou characters slapped to it. To those who played Touhou Mother, don't play this game, PLEASE.
This might be a nitpick, but "OK" should be replaced with okay as 99% percent of gacha games use it for naturalness. However I can't change it since it was their decision for the game to be marketed towards a more general and global audience possible.
Let me know and write down your reasons if you've quit the game as early as 2022, or as late as 2026 for mine. All of these are just my opinions and thoughts. If youre planning to come back, please dont, It aint worth it anymore nowadays...
