The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to the excessive number of ads and the long wait times for obtaining keys needed to progress. Many players express frustration over the limited opportunities to watch ads for keys, which disrupts gameplay and leads to a feeling of being forced into in-app purchases. While some users appreciate the game itself, the monetization model detracts from the overall experience, with calls for a reduction in ads and shorter key wait times.
- “It is a fun game, but you have to buy keys. At first, there were ads, but now there are no ads, so the flow of the game gets disturbed!”
- “You can play every single page (1 key) in every 11 hours unless you buy 5 keys. It takes just 1 second to complete one page. A good business idea: call it free and charge more for in-app purchases to progress the story.”

- “Looks like a cute app, but the amount of ads versus the amount of content is ridiculous. This app gives you more ads than content, only to read a mediocre story.”
- “You can play every single page (1 key) in every 11 hours unless you buy 5 keys. It takes just 1 second to complete one page. It's a good business idea to call it free and charge more for in-app purchases to progress the story.”
