I 100% agree. And the progress is super slow!
This game has tons of potential, but it really puts me off that I just had to spend 3 days to get strong enough to progress to the next zone, but only by moving my awakening slider all the way to the 'Stats' side, when to find out that when I rebalance my meter and then 'Awaken', I can't even progress back to where I was. WTF?
