To be fair, I think you were expecting something from it that isn't part of its core.
I don't play it myself, but I have several friends and family that do, and they all cite it as their comfy, repetitive (by design) game that they play for a half hour at the end of a day to unwind and shut their brain off. From what I can tell, THAT seems to be the goal of the game, and it sounded like you wanted the opposite from it.
Yeah, that could very well be true. The reason I had this expectation is probably because I've seen reviews of other people, some of them having hundreds of hours on it and I probably had the impression that I might be doing something wrong and it's just a matter of getting 'hooked'. That's why I kept playing even though I didn't find it very fun. While I do remember some slight annoyances about it, I do not think it is overall a bad game.
