    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game has no ads, which is great, and the career path selection is also fantastic.”

    • “I wish there was a way for others to continue playing without buying the game, like watching ads to continue to the next stage.”

    • “I thought it was really free with optional ads to help the game, but it turned out only the first two generations are free; the rest is locked with no way to play.”

  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is praised for its depth and cultural relevance, particularly for players familiar with Chinese culture, offering a realistic and immersive experience akin to a novel. However, some players express frustration with the pacing and limitations of the free trial, which restricts access to the full narrative. Overall, while the storyline is generally well-received, there are calls for more depth and options in character interactions and plot development.

    • “Though, the story and flavor are definitely better if you have Chinese parents or know Chinese or are otherwise intimate with Chinese culture in some way.”
    • “It has good picture quality and everything is equally balanced and I really liked it and played, but I just didn't like that it takes a lot of time to just complete the story of a child. I played it for 4 hours and then after that, I only reached high school.”
    • “Although, I would love to have more to the story than just being a student since all the skills and career planning go to nothing in the end (unless the upcoming DLC is going to be exactly that).”

    • “Edit: After the latest update, it seems that the bugs and glitches have disappeared. I don't know if the issues are going to continue or not if the server lags again, but so far so good.”
