Overall, grinding is seen as a significant barrier to enjoyment, with many players wishing for a more dynamic and less monotonous experience.

The monetization model of the game relies heavily on in-game purchases for items such as clothing and attributes, with no advertisements present. Players express frustration over the slow leveling process and persistent bugs, which detract from the overall experience.
- “Basic quest MMORPG, character customization is pretty alright. Everything is basically in-game purchases, including good clothes and attributes.”
