Yup. I agree.

As true as that may be, I wouldn't put my time and money to a (Chinese) ripoff that probably is yet another short lived cash in to anything successful.

To be fair, who knows. Kancolle was initially supposed to be one or two season cash grab too, before it become exploding success and drag on for so long.

Could go a different direction. Maybe try other stuff than shipgirls.
Probably should follow the shining example of Touken Ranbu. Essentially a KanColle ripoff, but gets much less shit than, say, Zhan Jian Shao Nyu got.
A couple hiragana do help though. Seeing that the original cash grab is in Japanese, people are much more tolerant to Japanese ripoff than non-Japanese ripoff.

That's the other thing. It's easier to remember borrowed words to romaji or katakana than random f**kin long chains of monosyllables which apparently all end in "n" or "g". It's annoying as hell because it's a higher level of language barrier and not enjoyable.

To people like me with no knowledge of foreign languages, it's all the same whether it's Japanese or Chinese.

If there's cute girls, language barrier is not an obstacle.
And I have 18 years head start on learning Chines/Kanji anyway

But time is always an issue, so probably not picking up this game anytime soon.

That's not true of Warship Girls or Girls Frontline, so uh...

Coming back here 8 montgs later is extremely hilarious. Not only the game is popular, it even get JP version.

Seeing this a year after the last comment with a smug cause the game is now probs more popular than Kancolle, got an English version, an anime announced and a PS4 game

Hilarious in hindsight. Extremely.

Oh well, what did you expect from the sacred K Brahmins, eh?

You idiot, it's more popular all over the world, which is way more success than your basement dwelling self will ever have.

4 years later and AL is still going strong with no signs of slowing.

Pretty funny to read this comment years later. AL is now one of the most successful gacha game on the market, while KanColle is but a shadow of its former self.
