The optimization of "Alice Fiction" has received significant criticism from users, with many reporting issues such as lag, low frame rates, and crashes, particularly during battles and gacha sequences.

- “Overall a good quality game, but missing some qualities that would make it 5 stars for me... - needs 60 fps option - better optimization (drops frames fairly often) - art is blurry in some areas and could be higher res - no live2d characters - will happily update my review if some of these qualities make it into the game.”
- “Sadly, the game performance itself is quite lacking in a few areas like pretty lag in character leveling, battle, and gacha (even I believe my device is capable for this but the fact was heavy lag).”
- “Can't give this otherwise 5-star game more than two because of poor optimization, low fps which directly impacts the puzzle gameplay, and laggy interface.”
- “The game isn't optimized for devices and you have to put it on low settings manually to save battery; otherwise, the default settings will destroy your device.”
