The story in the game is largely criticized for being clichéd and unoriginal, with many players finding the voice acting to be subpar and the quests repetitive and dull. While some enjoy the seamless flow of dungeons and leveling, the overall narrative experience is considered bland and uninspiring, making it more suitable for casual play with friends rather than for those seeking a compelling storyline.
- “However, what I will say is if you have 1-2 friends who are looking to just play through the story together, then you may have a good time.”
- “The way the dungeons and quests flow seamlessly makes for a long but enjoyable leveling experience.”
- “- All quests are pretty much the same type (kill, gather, talk) but not boring.”
- “Oh and the voice acting and storyline was pretty boring.”
- “Everything is just one cliché after another with auto-pathing and auto-completing quests, completely bland story and art that looks like slightly better Facebook MMOs that you play in a browser.”
- “If you can stomach the horrendous voice acting, generic storyline, and weeaboo graphics, then conceptually this game is a great mix between ARPG and MMORPG.”

The grinding aspect of the game is heavily emphasized, with players noting that it involves repetitive tasks such as farming dungeons for gear and materials, often leading to monotony. While some appreciate the grind as a means to enhance their characters and enjoy the diverse endgame content, others find it overwhelming and lacking in immediate goals, suggesting that those averse to grinding might prefer lighter alternatives. Overall, the game is described as grindy but feature-rich, appealing primarily to fans of the genre.
- “If you're the above, play it for the sake of playing, but it's essentially a Korean-translated browser game in standalone, launcher format... you literally just need to click a button and the character will run across the entire world to do monotonous grinding quests.”
- “I'm not even as geared as I could be, but I honestly can't bring myself to follow through grinding out runes from ad and dust for talismans as there is no content to aim for coming out in the immediate future.”
- “Spend the next month grinding the same dungeons over and over again for gear and stats I'll replace when the new content arrives?”

- “It's easy to hit max level, taking about 20-25 hours of gameplay time without experience boosts.”
- “The gameplay is similar to more well-recognized names in the genre, but it remains true to the ARPG as an MMO.”
