The gameplay is minimal and primarily consists of clicking through poorly written dialogue, lacking any significant interactive elements or engaging mechanics. Many users question the quality of the writing and how it was deemed suitable for release on platforms like Steam.
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”

Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books tedious, likening it to a frustratingly slow reading experience where progress is hindered by the need to click through text. This repetitive clicking can detract from the enjoyment of the narrative, making it feel laborious rather than immersive.
- “Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding, as it allows you to unlock powerful abilities and gear.”
- “The grind is real, but the sense of achievement you get from leveling up makes it all worth it.”
- “I love how grinding feels purposeful; every hour spent feels like it brings me closer to my goals.”
- “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
