the exp will be explained next update, and i didn't expect people to grind level yet in this version XD
I play plenty of RPGs, you eventually learn to grind, especially when learning how to play with the new mechanics (BTW, I understand the logic behind programming the companion doll to first heal you when you command her to use her skills, but I also wanted her to steal and she only did that when I wasn't attacked/my health was at max, it got grating) and you notice that some monsters can kill you easily, even if the drop rate for healing items is very nice.
Still, your game is promising, best wishes.
