The story follows Shiro and gu shuoye's party as they embark on a quest to save a new world, encountering tougher challenges and forming new friendships along the way. While the narrative features engaging elements like yuri and adult content, it suffers from pacing issues, inconsistent dialogue, and some supporting characters becoming less involved after their arcs. Players must also navigate unique leveling mechanics, relying on cooking rather than defeating enemies for experience, and a basic understanding of Chinese can enhance the experience.
“Shiro will send Gu Shuoye's party to a different world in which they find themselves on a quest to save the world again while making additional friends and facing tougher challenges than before.”
“Despite some pacing issues, I was still able to follow through the story and complete all quests.”
“Despite some pacing issues, text spilling out of pages, and inconsistent dialogue, I was still able to follow through the story and complete all quests.”
“It is a bit disappointing to see some of the supporting characters and party members become virtually silent companions after completing their quest arcs, though.”
“Having some knowledge of the Chinese language is also helpful in understanding and appreciating some of the finer details in the story, regardless of whether you are playing the English or Chinese version.”
