The story has received mixed feedback, with some players appreciating its depth and character development, while others found it difficult to engage with. The narrative is noted for its serious themes, including terminal illness and complex relationships, which may not appeal to everyone, especially those expecting a traditional romance. Comparisons to other titles like Hakuouki suggest that while it has its merits, it may fall short for fans of that game in terms of character style and romantic elements.
- “Basically, the thick plot without all the romance made me care more for the characters as people, rather than just eye candy to fawn over.”
- “Soji has tuberculosis; it's terminal in the 1800s, so be warned this is not going to be an overly saccharine story.”
- “I do really like the storyline and the comic scenes, and of course, the voice actors are wonderful.”
- “I couldn't get into the story at all; I'm just curious why this game has such good reviews.”
- “While the voice acting and artwork are acceptable, it's more the plot that's the problem.”
- “If you have played Hakuouki, this is going to be a bit of a letdown when it comes to the character styles and story. I made it through one route and part of another; it tends to be more cute than romantic.”
