I play both this and AL and had the same early experience. Seemed like a very trite RPG with a touhou covering. And... that's a bit true but it turns out that there's enough autism in the game to keep things interesting. The bullet line and power system are pretty unique.

Here's an example: I'm looking to solo 3-3 with Yuuka in 3 turns, but I'm having trouble with the 2nd wave of fairies. Pic related is the spellcard I'm using. So I mindlessly slap on the Yakumo Family story card (+3 yang atk) because this spellcard is mostly yang bullets. But it doesn't work. I take another look. 3 of the bullet lines will crit vs fairies, and two of those are yin, not yang. Additionally one of the fairies is weak to star element, and that's also yin. So a yin boost would stack more with crit/effective multipliers. Additionally, one of the +3 yin cards has a +15% wood damage bonus, which buffs two of the bullet lines. So I exchange Yakumo Family for Overwhelming Firepower (+3 yin atk, +15% wood) and the auto replay now works flawlessly. The better option was the unintuitive one.

So yeah, the game has enough depth to not be entirely braindead. But more importantly imo it's a fucking mobile game, not a second job. AL has run into this problem with operation siren. It's a fucking pain the ass that does nothing but drain your battery as you auto. Fortunately Lost Word is really chill and takes very little daily investment. You can grind yourself retarded and max out the difficult modes if you want, or you can just chill.

TL;DR LW is an inoffensive Touhou RPG with enough going for it to be cool for Touhou fans. Outside of that there's probably better options out there, or maybe the gacha RPG market is just total and complete shit I have no clue.
