The game's story is described as vague and underdeveloped, with some players finding it difficult to engage with due to its lack of clarity and pacing issues in the prologue. However, there are hints of an intriguing underlying plot that may become more compelling as players progress, alongside improvements made in recent updates. Overall, while the setting and gameplay mechanics are appreciated, the narrative aspect leaves much to be desired.
- “Awesome detailed forest landscapes and building kits create wonders in this world. It's not perfect, but they are definitely working on it! I love the settings where you can customize your experience, especially the peace mode. The story is super interesting as you navigate through a world that feels completely unique. Surviving through the seasons gives a sense of accomplishment, especially after overcoming winter!”
- “Previous patches have improved performance, completed the first chapter of the storyline, added new items, and changed some of the old ones.”
- “In moving around the landscape, it looks like there is an underlying plot that may prove interesting, but I am not far enough along to know yet how developed the plot is.”
- “If there is a story to the game, it is so vague as to be meaningless.”
- “The first thing is that in the new update, some of the long texts in the prologue do not stay long enough, and I don't have enough time to read the whole story.”
- “Besides that, I would love to see the plot progress more than anything.”

- “My overall impression after 6.5 hours of play comes down to one word: tedious.”
- “But the current state of the game mechanics, UI, and AI currently make the overall experience just tedious.”
