I keep thinking back to how much sheer free content and story updates Genshin outputs on a consistent 6 week patch cycle vs... the dripfeed in between banners that LADS feeds you as a "here, damn"
yea, that part i know, but im moreso curious of the specifics. As in, compared to other game like GI, what are usually their contents rate. I only heard of the general comparison, but never specifics.
Main story basically updates two times a year at this point while the keep pumping out banners and paid content (which atp also includes most of the outfits, almost nothing to buy with the non paid currency). One love interest main story branch hasn't had an update in a year and a half. It's bad
It's starting to feel really strange when you consider how far the relationship between the mc and the guys has progressed. In comparison, the main story barely even started taking off. After taking a step back from the game due to the boycott, it's so strange to think about now.
theoretically (not promised, just historically) LADS gets 2 major main story updates per year. They are like 2-4 hours long of story per update (with like only 5 minutes of animated cutscenes lol), but it doesn't even feature all of the characters. So the wait between characters is really long. Last main story update was in Jan 2026 and it only featured 2 characters.
depends on what you consider event stories I guess. Since it's an otome game, the "date" stories with each LI are considered separate timelines from the main story, so they're just relationship fluff and don't have much lore or plot development in them at all.
The limited 5-star cards/dates have recently been anywhere between 30 min to 60 min of a single contained story, with 4 min of that an animated cutscene. Each LI gets about 8 of those a year.
Then 1 of the special myth events which can be 2 hours, with ~8 min of cutscenes. (though, looks like they're about to drop that down to only 3 myths a year)
Then you can pay for 4 star dates from their bi-monthly battle pass. (about 30 min, and each LI gets 2 a year) These have no animated cutscenes and are *only* available with cold hard cash, can't be earned with in game resources.
And, of course, all the dates are limited-release paid content. So if we want any voiced story content at all outside of the main story updates, the only source is the gacha pool.

Still out of the Top 3 😂
Boycott still strong!
