Finished LAD Ishin! in 48 hours with 95% of all side stories finished. The last few ones were basically friendship missions. Also the battle dungeon stuff I ignored mostly. It is a pure grind for crafting materials in the most boring hallways imaginable. I would say that it's the barest of the bare minimum of level design. It's not even randomly generated but looks like it as I recognize the same handful of repeated hall segments and junctions. Also the troop card mechanic is asinine. The plan is that one can assemble special modifiers and attacks to augment the combat but it ended up for me as a big dud. Getting those cards is random and the actual abilities are either broken or the minor ones recharge too slowly. I used a slow health regeneration ability and an "unblockable" spin attack (bosses somehow were able to block...).
