The story is generally perceived as interesting but often confusing, with a mix of mecha battles and romantic interactions that some players found enjoyable, while others criticized it for being short and lacking depth. Although there are multiple endings and choices that impact the narrative, many reviewers noted inconsistencies and a somewhat cliché plot that detracted from the overall experience. Overall, while the artwork and character design received praise, the story itself is seen as serviceable but not particularly engaging or memorable.
- “The real story is about Takiro's interactions with the cuties in the academy.”
- “Came for the girls, stayed for the story.”
- “Great game, interesting story, nice characters, and many endings.”
- “The overarching story doesn't make a whole ton of sense; somehow the success of these battles will 'save the economy' for your 'poor nation' -- whatever that's supposed to mean.”
- “There are some slip ups and inconsistencies, e.g. wrong names used or story referring to events that did not occur due to the previous choices.”
- “The story is almost non-existent; the mech battles aren't really battles, just story fillers. This full game should have been chapter 1, not an entire book.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the excellent musical score that enhances humorous and tense moments, others find it unmemorable and lacking in impact. The overall presentation, including soundtracks and background music, is generally considered good, especially in relation to the game's themes, but some users note a lack of ambient sound effects and recycled music elements. Overall, the music is deemed satisfactory, particularly for its budget, but may not leave a lasting impression.
- “Speaking of immersion, sadly there are no ambient sound effects present but the musical score is excellent with great tracks for humorous and tension-filled moments in the visual novel.”
- “The story, characters, art, backgrounds, and music are really nice.”
- “Soundtracks, CGs, and overall game presentation are good after factoring in appropriate background music for the futuristic action, victory and defeat, and romance themes in the story and animated sprites for each of the main characters.”
- “Characters seem to be recycled from the mentioned game, and so is the boring music.”
- “The music wasn't memorable at all, and I didn't really feel the need to have the volume all the way up in order to listen to it.”
- “Recommended when the game with soundtrack, avatar, wallpaper DLC, or deluxe edition are at a discount or in a bundle offer, as all endings and the entire game's unlockable CG in the gallery can be completed in less than 10 hours.”
