“This game is very best in terms of story and gameplay.”
“Waw, this game is very exciting and good. It is unique, starting from the story to the gameplay. I especially like the graphics and game model, where it suits my taste. This game tells the story of us as a meatball vendor's assistant. I hope this game can succeed and become famous internationally!”

“The story quests are nonsensical; please improve the chances for gacha.”
“It's good, but the chapters don't continue. After completing one chapter's quests, there are no further quests for the next chapter.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be significant, with some enjoying the challenge while others express frustration over its intensity and the inconvenience of ads interrupting the experience. Early game grinding is particularly noted as difficult and time-consuming, leading to mixed feelings about the overall enjoyment of the game. Additionally, issues like accidental data resets further detract from the grinding experience for some users.
“It's just that it's a bit grindy; well, that's what simulators do. There's nothing ever not added that feels 'grindy.'”
“Grinding for money is very difficult in the early game; it takes a long time to finish, so I might as well just watch Windah Basudara instead.”
“The game is fun, but my data got wiped because the reset button is too big and I accidentally pressed it. The game is enjoyable, but my 4 hours of grinding feel wasted. If you ask me if I want to play again, I'm done unless I get a new account.”
