story
110 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is primarily delivered through a series of quests that players can quickly progress through via auto-teleportation, leading to a repetitive and grind-heavy experience, especially after reaching higher levels. While some players appreciate the initial narrative and cutscenes, many find the overall storytelling shallow and the gameplay mechanics overly simplistic, reducing engagement with the plot. As players advance, they often feel compelled to grind for experience points, which detracts from the enjoyment of the story and can lead to frustration with the pacing and quest availability.
“This is less of an MMO and more of a story-driven adventure game / visual novel hybrid, but one in which everybody playing is connected to a server where they can see and interact with each other.”
“A story-centric 'main quest' sequence takes over from the first moment.”
“Plus the translation is so adorable yet hilarious at times, making the story that much more enjoyable!”
“Nothing but a slog through the story quest once you hit level 70+.”
“The story quest drowns you with all the experience points and items you need to race through it with zero difficulty, leaving you with a sensation that you are not playing a game, but a game is playing you while you just do what it tells you to do.”
“I was really excited and looking forward to a game like this, had a very big nostalgia feeling from games like Florensia, Aura Kingdom etc. but the reality here is, you just spam auto quests and I mean auto, it teleports you, takes the quest, teleports, takes auto items, teleports, finishes the quest, and this goes on for a long while. I spent about 1.5 hours in there leveling till around 30+ in hope it would stop and actual gameplay like farming, killing mobs and dungeons with other players would begin but no it won't. I've seen mobile games perform better than this, please don't give it a try!”
