Damn it Wikia... can you just not make a hard-typed wall of text that needed a lot of time to think it through disappear like water vapor? That aside, time to truncate my wall of rants.

1. Yuri and its implications. I'm kinda traumatized by vocal ones disrupting decent discussions, as if they're putting a hailer into my face and go "SHIP A LOVES SHIP B, YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO SAY YES OR OKAY, ALSO YOU GET THE HELL OUT AND DON'T GET BETWEEN THE PURE LOVE OF TWO SHIPS". I'm sorry yuri loving Admirals, but as long as you're not one of these people we're cool I guess. Also I'm trying to forget I ever admitted this so let's all go gawk at our favorite Kancolle fanart and be quiet, okay? Thanks to this as well I'm starting to register some promotional artwork and voice lines under my Early Warning and Response System radars so that I can hightail it when the vocal ones come knocking and partying in front of my naval base.

2. Expanding from Point 1, and somehow not related to gameplay... the anime. And the movie. For now let me pretend there was none of it... Movie poster? What movie poster?

3. The game RNG. Betrays you sometimes at the moment you just want to call it a day - but nope, your objectives ruined, one more bucket, one more sortie - oh wait, gotta wait for fatigue... oh no not another one-shot taiha, not another off-route. Oh well, fukou da.

4. (Regarding voice lines in general) No, Akebono, you're not commissioned to my base so get out before I call for disciplinary action for calling me "Shitty" out of the blue. Murakumo, Ooi, threaten me with your torpedoes and I'll detonate them before you get a chance to get them off the tubes, same goes to your main batteries. Zuikaku, you swarm me with your bombers one more time and I'm going to get an AA screen to wipe them out and I shall hear no complaints and whining about the loss of your planes which I am not going to replace, I'll make you suffer Battle of the Philippine Sea over and over again until you learn your lesson. And no Maya, you don't get points for calling me "Uzai" especially when you're slacking off on air defense duty, and that "Ah!?" is going to make you end up with disciplinary action on your tail, you know. So get down on all fours and do push-ups until you cry regretting you ever said all of that. Also does everyone has a remote sensor on their butt that activates whenever I open the office door despite them being ten feet away from where I stand and they start complaining about my hands brushing against their butts. Oh well gotta take them all like an MC tanking abuse like a champ, except in my naval base I am not going to sit well with these.

(Despite all these I wonder why I even played anyway... maybe I do have a masochistic tendency. But I don't want to admit a single drop of it!)

5. Some devs decision appears to me like it all boils down to "We'll try doing this and see if it werks - and werks including legitimately getting the right type and amount of salt from players in our books, tee hee, if it doesn't work then oh shit" - which led to some mishaps in some events such as bugs.

6. Required ship compositions for sorties, especially when it pertains to quest clearings and events. For example, if I have to face a fleet of 4BBs and 2 CVs, don't tell me to bring no airpower and nothing stronger than a CA. I don't like that.

7. Some equipments marked as necessary but the ease - or rather, lack thereof - of getting them is not really something I'd love acknowledging. I only managed to stock 1 WG42 in my inventory and that's from a U-511 I never thought I'd get while doing Spring 2016 E3, while the special Daihatsus/tanks... well, apparently I find myself not keeping more than a dozen screws in a given month and I rarely modernize weapons these days, too. 6-4 basically screams "HAVE IT OR GO HOME" to the face, Spring 2016 E2, E5 and by a stretch E6 and E7 needing them and we pretty much know E2 was a big wall of "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" for those who had the misfortune of only having a few weeks worth of prep or possibly just days... not even Summer 2015 was that dickish to pass through (source: a Teitoku who reached Air Defense Hime and put her down in the red a few times despite having only a week of prep, and despite not finishing her off).

8. ... Just... Air Defense Hime. Her smug grin plus my failure to finish her off in Summer 2015 is going to make her the only Abyssal I'm designating into my "Search and Destroy" list.

9. The so-called "Marriage" system concept. Don't get me wrong, I like the marriage voice lines and all, but... what do you mean, I only get to break the level cap of ONLY ONE shipgirl for free, and I have to pay for the rest? Oh well, more money for you then. If you mean business in cash terms with that, then I guess I shouldn't be complaining because that'll be your source of income.

10. ... Probably related to some other points I've already spoken because I'm out of other points. Namely the dependency of fan trends making the character, leading to some particularly groan-inducing "character development" for some characters (I'm staring into your eyes at point blank, Ooi, if you need to know where I am looking at right now). The problem with this is that the mileage they're trying to cover is a bit too large and I wonder if the devs could spare a bit of an effort casting a character's "character" in stone instead of seeing how the fans react to them and decide from there. And here's also the problem with my argument: Your Mileage May Vary.
