Progress is fast at first but soon slows down drastically and there's nothing left to do - just wait for 1 hour to get an upgrade and repeat

This might be my favorite idle game.

I don't get the negative reviews at all. I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt and say that most of the issues they mention were probably from older versions of this game, since it's updated fairly often.

Just looked into my purchase history.
phew, I didnt pay for this game.
I generally avoid free games because they always designed to make u pay even more expensive in the end than just buying a game from the start.
I just remember that I just installed this game because lots of people had thousands of hours into the game that I thought this might be worth it.

and so I was right once again.
this game seems promising. Starts off strong.
but then, I opened the conquest or something that it introduced like the 2nd layer of the game, and it started to be like a mobile game. And even worse, I'm still early, but now I need lumber so much, and it producing lumber so slow.
even the main layer of the game then became so slow with the progress getting so much exponentially expensive.

U can see that I just played for 5 hours (while idling), and I have started to bump into this wall, and I felt this is a waste of time.

Sorry, I dont recommend this game. It's too time wasting, and not in a good way.
