I just beat the Moonbrooke chapter in DQ Builders 2. I was originally planning on doing all of the tablet challenges but some of them look more grindy than they're worth. Yesterday I finally got my copy of FF7R so I'm gonna put DQB2 on the backburner for a bit. Right now I just made it to chapter 4 and am enjoying it more than I thought I would.
DQB2 is a bit of a weird one for me, I loved the first one, and while the sequel takes a step forward in some ways, there are other ways it takes a step back. It feels even more hand-holdy, there's a ridiculous amount of new building materials that make inventory searching a chore, the explorers shores are blah, and DQ2 is my least favorite entry of the series so it doesn't have the nostalgia the DQ1 basis for DQB1 did. Like, the first time I played DQ1 as a little kid, when I got to the Dragonlord I chose to join him. Eventually I went back and beat him but thinking about how that one action wayyyyy long ago led to the plot for DQB1 made it even more immersive for me.
