The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads and the high cost of in-game choices. Players express frustration over the limited rewards for watching ads, often receiving only 2 diamonds per ad while needing 12-17 diamonds for meaningful choices, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. Additionally, many users report issues with ads not loading or not providing the promised rewards, further diminishing the enjoyment of the game.

- “They also have a lot of options for ways to get diamonds that don't require in-app purchases.”
- “Overall the game is great and I'm addicted; I can't even delete it, but the in-app purchases are too much. I would burn through $100 in a week just for diamonds.”
- “I don't want to spend 30% of the time watching ads to afford a 17 diamond choice, which is the only good one.”
- “If you (like me) refuse to pay for diamonds, you have to watch hours of ads to be able to read a half-decent story.”
- “The stories are great, but the amount of ads you're required to watch, time you're required to wait, and money you're expected to pay just to finish a story is ridiculous.”
