Honestly, I think IDV is far from perfect, but it's pretty fun. Throughout my life, I've started playing QMs as a survivor, but then I became a hunter main (mainly a Bonbon main) and I've understood the frustration this game is. Although Bonbon is one of the strongest meta hunters, the game is really frustrating sometimes due to the cipher rush meta, where all you do is cipher the fastest you can so the game ends. The cipher rush is benefited by the decoding buff that comes in a aprt of the game (idk when lol) but usually when it's down to 2 ciphers left and it makes the game insanely fast paced and usually hunters can't follow it. Besides the frustration of playing hunter, I find the game design absolutely amazing and really creative. The main story inside the game got developed recently and it's really cool, plus you can also discover the story of other characters through their birhtdays and doing their particular missions. Honestly the story has me interested a lot, but it develops very slowly, so if you think it's better just to keep playing for the story, you may just abandon the game and note the birthdays. Another thing on the game are the cosmetics, skins, pets, emotes or anything else that is buyable (like to edit the manor), they are extremely expensive if you are not from a rich country and wants to buy something from the store and if you want to get a skin from the gacha, get ready to spend a lot, since it may take lots and lots of gachas to finally get your skin (you need to open one 50 times for a guaranteed A skin [I think] and like more than 100 for an S skin). Last, but not least, back to the hunter problem, due to the fact that it's frustrating to play hunter (also because of survivor toxicity) the queue times for survivors and hunters are way different. Usually, hunter QMs take 2 seconds to find, whilst survivor matches may take 2-10 minutes and in rankeds, the hunter ones follow the same time, meanwhile the survivor one may take up to 20 or even more. Despite the problems and frustration, I still like to play the game and play it on a daily basis. If you have anger problems like me, I don't know if it's the best game for you to play, however if you are just a casual, I think you can enjoy the game a lot.
