Unless there's some bots/macros out there that enable actual idling, you have to be around to choose what pets/food to buy/sell after every round.

The "auto" part is from "auto battler," a type of game that's not like an idle game at all - it requires constant attention to progress. Of course, there's attention-seeking mobile devs who will name their auto-battlers "idle (something)" but that's just because they're either unaware of what "idle game" entails, or are jerks and doing it on purpose to attract people who'll just end up disliking them for being liars.

ohhhhh thank you for letting me know and I still wanna try it out even if it's not what I first thought it would be. I am glad I got to understand before going in and making myself look foolish if I didn't enjoy the game
