When you get KO'd, you can press "P" to pause, then "Q" to quit. No menu will pop up, but it will bring you back to the menu screen. So you don't have to refresh when you get KO'd. You still can't use the revive, though.
Anyway, just playing through this and... Why free? I think you could charge for this and people would pay. Heck I would pay! It's really well put together, very good.
I've been noticing a trend of people complaining about too much story line lately. First on exit/corners, now here.
Why does a game having an actual story offend you guys so much...?
One thing I might suggest is an auto-skip for the text. It's a bit straining to click/space spam when you're replaying for different dialogue options. :)

Things that DO NOT make a game P2W
Energy System/Wait time
Premium Currency
Premium Boxes Aka summons
What DOES make a game P2W?
Overpowered cards only available for real $$$
Is this game P2W? Maybe a little. If you're willing to spend lots of money. I doubt anyone would spend "Hundreds" on a small Kongregate flash game.
