The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it interesting and intense, particularly appreciating character development in certain routes, while others criticize it for being drawn out and lacking direction. Many noted that despite intriguing elements like knights and dragons, the narrative often meanders without substantial plot progression or character depth, leading to a mediocre experience overall. While some routes offer touching moments and romance, the overall execution leaves much to be desired, making it feel more like an otome game than a compelling fantasy visual novel.
“The story is certainly not the most original plot ever written, but it certainly isn't the worst.”
“Still, the story is quite touching and will satisfy the heart of any player looking for romance in their stories.”
“In short, it is a story telling how love, fate, and a bit of magic can bring a miracle into one's life :) The characters are different and very well developed - their behavior and actions are logical and follow the main line and your choices.”
“I really wanted to like this game, but in the end the story and characters just fell short.”
“The story just feels long and drawn out for the sake of it, and I feel like spending less time just meandering about and more time actually progressing the plot and characters would have made this game more interesting.”
“Even with all these intriguing elements, developers managed to present a boring story.”

However, reviewers express a desire for more variety and depth in character designs and development overall, suggesting that while the characters evoke emotional responses, there is potential for improvement.
“Gavin's character was the most interesting, as he had a bit of character development and backstory that paired very well with Lena's.”
“More character development could've made it better, but I did like the characters, and I felt something when things went bad or good for them.”
“Can't you at least do a little bit more variety in character designs?”
