How bad are endfields lows compared to arknights when it had lows in the story?

I'm mainly asking this since I see alot of people talk about how endfield has some pretty low points in its story so far or how much it feels similar to other gacha games which are true in some cases a bit too strongly. I can't imagine arknights itself never had points where it got low or had some questionable moments that seemed really awkward for whatever reason. Although I've played arknights since its global release I admittingly haven't always paid attention to the story or characters but I never felt there was times in the main or event stories something felt off. So far the only thing feeling off for me with endfield is the game having some oversights in it is mainly what mostly everyone else has said about us knowing some characters before we've met them in the story or how we're treated in the game compared to the side quests or such and compared to the arknights story it self, I don't really think endfield is all that bad of a story outside of some outliers when you understand it isn't in the same world situation like arknights story was.
