Are TLSQ even worth it anymore?

When I first started playing the game, I felt obligated to finish every TLSQ. I was grinding non-stop, even playing during work, just to get everything done. I felt like I had to complete every new event, or at least try, because missing out felt like losing something important.

I’ve been playing on and off for over three years now, and I recently came back after a 4-month break. As soon as I logged in, I was hit with three new TLSQs back-to-back, plus the same number of repeatable ones. It was overwhelming. Like, chill out, game.

This time around, I really want to focus on the main story. Honestly, I can’t even remember what’s going on in it—I’m on Year 7, Chapter 16. I just want to level up my stats, take my time, and completely ignore TLSQs. I already have over 20 tappies, which feels like plenty. To be fair, the only TLSQs I ever really enjoyed were the romance ones, and even then, only the last part.

So I guess my question is: Are TLSQs worth doing if I don’t care about tappies? Are there any specific ones you think I should do? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
