Monsters need to be able to use excess exp to go up multiple levels

I’d say the concept feels good in that you can catch a lot of monsters and there are plenty of ways to upgrade however the two issues I see immediately are this: 1.) there are TOO many options for upgrading, crafting, etc. It gets quite overwhelming very quickly. It feels like the game is actually about upgrading 50000 different substats for the hero than actually collecting, customizing monsters, and finding fun ways to use them. I’d personally have removed/simplified a lot of that and given more interesting options to customize the monsters. 2.) the game is very confusing. Part of this is because there are so many different sub stats / options. Another reason is that a lot of things aren’t explained. It feels like you need a PhD to understand the game.

I finished the game already!
