 Arknights, is good. If you care more about collecting shiny objects than gameplay, azur lane has slightly better shiny object collecting.

So keeping in mind all gacha games are bad, what is like... least bad, these days? Honestly the only things I really hate are PvP and real time co-op (as opposed to just dragging a friend's unit along for carries, which is cool and good).

arknights fits both of these categories, having no pvp, no real-time co-op, and having a system via which a friend's unit can carry you and by which you can carry your friends witjh your unit

Starting to realize how many Gacha stories I play are based on Kaballah.

Blue Archive - the total assault boss battles are named after the Sefirot in the Tree of Life (the 10 attributes which the divinity reveals itself), which also factors into the Decagrammaton event story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sefirot

Counterside - uses Qliphoth terminology (Qliphoth are impure forces that are obstacles to holiness) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qliphoth

Limbus Company - both Qliphoth and the Sefirot play an essential role in the Mythos.

Studying up on Kaballah could enrich ones understanding of these game's stories.

what i'm hearing is that everyone who made these games got way too invested in the non-anime storylines of yugioh

 yeah you can get a raid shadow legends in whatever flavour you like these days, so why pick raid shadow legends rather than one with anime girls, or star wars characters, or cookies
