The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the abundance of ads and the difficulty in earning rubies. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for hints and rubies, they often find the rewards insufficient compared to the high costs of in-game purchases, leading to a "pay-to-win" feel. Overall, players suggest that the game could benefit from more balanced rewards for watching ads and additional ways to earn rubies without excessive grinding or spending real money.

- “This game is amazing, there are no ads, unless you watch an ad to gain more gems, and when you first open the app, it shows you a trailer.”
- “Like a lot of people love the plot and the art, however I am actually disappointed; way too many ads, rubies are hard to get and overall, earning anything or having a good ending for free is impossible.”
- “I wouldn't recommend this game if you want a fulfilling ending without having to pay or watch tons of ads...”
- “The game is impossible to enjoy with the constant ads interrupting and you really can't get anywhere with the story because everything costs a ridiculous amount of gems that you would have to pay for with your own money because you can't earn more than a few by watching a limited number of ads when all of the major choices require you to pay for them.”
