I had a similar experience with Monster Hunter. It looks like such a good game but the design is so slow and complicated that i just stop playing it.
With God Eater i didnt have the same problem. Its alot more streamlined and easy to pick up. Having a story helps aswell. But i also have been having trouble beating it.
On a different note though, Soul Sacrifice has a different design from those two. There still is repetition but the systems all fall into place with the action and improving your character spells gets addicting. I also like the whole setting and story.
My point here is, it might be worth it for you to give Soul sacrifice a go (just play the demo). It might redeem the genre for you. Aside from that, i have the same problem as you with Toukiden and the upcoming Freedom Wars. I dont like the grinding design unless its really well made like Soul sacrifice. Toukiden reminds me alot of Onimusha so its been difficult. I think theres a demo coming out. That would really help.
