Put in about 8 hours as well before I had my fill. I have two major issues with the game, and they're both very central to the game. Firstly, the building system is simplistic and boring. You build floors, you build walls, you build some crafting stations, that's it. I know you can unlock more decoration stuff as you go, but there's not really much potential there.
Secondly, the blood hunting is tedious. You're asked to go to specific points around the map to kill "bosses", and unless your castle is just perfectly positioned it's gonna be a hike to get there most of the time. If you're lucky there's a teleport spot nearby (or you've put the time in to create teleporters all over the map), but even then literally every resource item in the game stops you from using the teleport, so you're gonna be hiking back to base.
I tried jumping back in a couple of times, but every time the prospect of going on another blood hunt just made me log off instead. The game has been compared a lot to Valheim, and both of these issues are very stark differences between the games.
Maybe the game is fun if you're playing on an active PvP server, and it's all about scrounging whatever you can before you have to fight for your life, but even then the combat is far from good enough to create a fullfilling PvP experience.
