The storyline is amazing. Most characters get development in the main story and if they did not, they probably got their own event story. The chapters get longer and longer each time but, there's always so much going on (but not in a bad way). Chapter 5 is my favourite so far because the characters and their relationships develop a lot (and they aren't even the main characters for that chapter!). The voice acting is superb. My favourite voice has to be Ace's. The way his seiyuu conveys Ace's emotions is really good. The event stories and card backstories are also super enjoyable, although unvoiced. They give more info on characters to make them more likeable (e.g. Ghost Marriage for Ace). And you should probably read them all as most of the time, all the characters have at least a small cameo.
My favourite thing about twst are the characters. My favourite characters are Ace ane Deuce. They are the most important thing to me right now. The characters each have their own strengths and flaws and none of them are Gary Sues or overpowered (if they are, there's a proper reason for it). A lot of them don't act like high schoolers (Octavinelle) but when you see their interactions with other characters (Floyd w/ Basketball Club), you get a feeling of youth from them. A lot of them are super unique, they might seem generic at first but once you get to know them more, you will start to love them (for example : Floyd, Azul, Jade, Vil, Cater, Deuce, Jamil, Epel). As most of them are based of villians, there is A LOT of gap moe and tsunderes.
The gacha rates.. I've been playing since April 2020 and I only have 3 SSRs (I'm F2P). I've pulled a total of 250 times (including free pull at start). The rate for SSR is 0.9% while SR is around 10%. I've barely been playing recently (gameplay sucks) but I've collected most special login bonuses and shop items. Currently I have 11 ten pull keys, 20 something single pull keys and 400 dia. Unfortunately, pulls do not carry over to the next limited banner. However, at 100 pulls, you get a guaranteed SSR (50% chance for it to be banner). At birthdays though, the only SSR in the box is the birthday SSR. Birthday gachas only last for a week while event gachas last for 2 weeks (I think). After a while, it gets hard to get dia which is why you should collect your login bonuses and buy the keys from the shop.
The gameplay... The fighting game is like rock paper scissors. It's boring but thank god there's an auto mode. You don't need to grind these, once you pass them, you don't need to play them again. The cards you get matter for this.
The rhythm game is has either 2 lanes or is like Osu (but easier I'm assuming). There's regular touch notes, hold notes and flick notes. They are not hard at all. Luckily, once you pass it the first time, you automatically pass the song even if you miss every single note. The only dia you get is for getting a good combo or how many times you passed the song. This is based on skill and not your cards. However, you cannot change the note speed.
The grinding portion of the game can be played on auto mode. After you do the practice for each character 100 times, it's hard to get more dia (30 dia at 100, 50 at 300 I think). One round (7 turns) takes around a minute. The item to play this refils one every 15 minutes.
The gameplay is quite boring and mostly grind-y but the characters do look very cute when fighting/dancing/studying.
I do not recommend playing twst but if you want to get into it, just the story is enough. The entire main story is uploaded onto YouTube with english subs (fan translated). Some event/backstories and voice lines are translated on YouTube as well, but if you can't find it, the translations are on the twst wiki. If you can understand japanese, just search their names in kanji in YouTube and you should be able to find a compilation of their voice lines.
