Lots of upgrades to work through, the grind isnt horrible and I enjoyed not having to 'prestige' 20 times to finish the game.
One of the best incrementals I've played in a LONG time (and I own a LOT!). The progression loop is extremely satisfying, there are hundreds of upgrades but they're revealed in a very logical and pleasing fashion that really makes you feel like you're upgrading your bookshop. There's a lot of active stuff to do which is overwhelming at first, but the upgrades soon help you in meaningful ways.
Completed with 100% achievements in 6.3 hours (in one session, that's how much I enjoyed it!). No prestige system so not particularly replayable, but worth the low price.
