  • story
    530 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is praised for its engaging narratives, diverse characters, and beautiful art styles, appealing to a wide range of players. However, many users express frustration over the high paywall for accessing premium choices, which can hinder the overall experience and enjoyment of the story. While the storytelling is generally well-received, the monetization strategy, requiring real money for key decisions, detracts from the experience for those unable or unwilling to spend.

    • “The stories, characters, and art styles are absolutely amazing, and there's a type of story for everyone.”
    • “So far, it was amazing storylines and great choices to choose from!”
    • “The stories are great and the art styles vary depending on the artist used for it, but I've loved each story I've read so far.”
    • “The stories are really good, but it goes off of affection levels for each character in whichever story, and the actually interesting choices are blocked by a paywall in the form of 'hearts'. It supports the artists, but it's so much money that not many could afford it anyway, so it gets really annoying.”
    • “I understand needing to make money, but when I have to save up for two weeks for gems just to get through maybe one chapter of a story the way I want, it gets a little disheartening.”
    • “The story was okay, but I couldn't make any choice I actually wanted to, so that sucked.”
  • monetization
    137 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game has received significant criticism for being overly reliant on in-app purchases, with many players expressing frustration over the high costs of hearts and gems needed to progress. Users have suggested implementing an ad-watching feature to earn in-game currency, as they feel the current system is a cash grab that limits enjoyment and accessibility. While some appreciate the absence of intrusive ads, the lack of alternative ways to earn hearts has led to dissatisfaction among players who cannot afford to spend money.

    • “The content available is high quality and free, the optional monetization model is fair and I have peace of mind knowing that whatever money I do choose to spend is going directly to the creators of these stories/games.”
    • “Very expensive in-app purchases, but they go to the author, and the stories are good, so I don't mind.”
    • “Really love the no ads and you can buy hearts to support the authors.”
    • “I kept getting ads for the game, saying how it's different from the rest and didn't cost money. Well, I decided to give it a chance, only to find out it costs money and the games/stories are very hard to get gems or stars, so you pretty much have to spend money to enjoy the story to the fullest.”
    • “The app is way too expensive; there is no constant way to get hearts that is not directly by buying them with real money. You can't get them through watching ads or anything like that. On rare occasions, they let you earn some by reading stories, but it is only during events with a limited time, and they give you a seriously small amount. The games are almost unplayable without the paid options.”
    • “I would gladly watch ads or pay for a monthly subscription for a good amount of hearts, but unless you're basically rich, the game isn't enjoyable at all.”
  • graphics
    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game receive a mixed response from users, with many praising the diverse and high-quality art styles that enhance the storytelling experience. While some players appreciate the stunning character designs and animations, others criticize the inconsistent quality and technical issues, such as low resolution and lag. Overall, the artwork is a highlight for most, but concerns about navigation and the need for in-app purchases to access certain features detract from the overall experience.

    • “The animation and visuals are so great and you can actually play stories together with your friend.”
    • “Omg the art styles are amazing and the plots of the different stories just take you to a whole other world in your own mind and it is thrilling like no tomorrow.”
    • “I love the storyline and the art style is absolutely beautiful!”
    • “The writing itself is fine but the art style is awful. I read a mural story and the entire top of his head had been cut off. There's no music at all, so it's really awkward, and the app itself is slow, laggy, and just a nightmare to navigate!”
    • “Another problem is when I joined a live session, the graphics were quite low and pixelated for me. Another thing is that it's extremely hard to gain money; it's either to pay or do tasks, which usually takes a few days for at least 5 of its currency.”
    • “I'm giving this 3 stars because it has pretty good and interesting stories, but the quality of the artworks of the characters isn't that good.”
  • music
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews overwhelmingly highlight the absence of music and sound effects in the game, which many users find disappointing and detrimental to the overall experience. While some players appreciate the option to use their own music, the lack of background music is frequently cited as a significant flaw that disrupts immersion and enjoyment. Users are calling for the developers to add music and sound to enhance the storytelling experience, as its current absence leaves the gameplay feeling awkward and unpolished.

    • “Music and ambience can make or break a visual story, and in this case, most times it breaks it.”
    • “But I wish you'd add some music & sounds, it really helps to make the reading experience more lively and sets the mood for the story.”
    • “I wish it had some background music but still very fun and interesting with the boys.”
    • “I just downloaded this app today and I'm unsure if it's intentional or a glitch, but there doesn't seem to be any music or sound effects.”
    • “The game lacks music, giving it quite an awkward feel as you sit in silence, and it has quite a cheap and confusing layout.”
    • “The stories aren't categorized, so it's completely random as to what would appear next in the scroll down. There is no sound or music, which destroys the immersion of reading in the first place.”
  • stability
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the app has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and lag, which detracts from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the content and support for independent creators, the app is often described as buggy and unfinished, leading to frustration, especially during interactions. Despite these issues, a few users note that the app can still be enjoyable, and there are indications that the development team is actively working on improvements.

    • “However, the app is irritating to use as it has lots of glitches and issues, making it hard to justify spending money on.”
    • “The app barely works, constant glitches and being kicked from streams, or just freezing and refusing to work.”
    • “There are also general application errors and glitches that make this entire app seem rushed and unfinished.”
  • humor
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players highlighting its clever writing, self-aware jokes, and a variety of funny characters that enhance the overall experience. Many users find themselves laughing out loud, often attributing their enjoyment to the game's engaging stories and the humorous interactions within the community. Despite some technical issues, the comedic elements consistently stand out as a major draw for players.

    • “The game is very funny and overall a great way to kill time.”
    • “I've only played one story so far, but I'm absolutely shocked that the writing is actually quite clever and funny.”
    • “I downloaded this game because I thought, why not? After all the ads I saw on TikTok, and this is the most hilarious stuff ever! For some reason, my brain decided to read in a southern accent, which is making me laugh to myself more. I never thought a game could make me laugh this much.”
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some users appreciating the mechanics and character customization, while others criticize it for being unpolished, laggy, and clunky. Many feel that the experience is hindered by poor writing, a lack of sound, and excessive monetization, leading to frustration rather than enjoyment. Overall, while there are elements of interesting gameplay, significant improvements are needed for a smoother and more engaging experience.

    • “Overall an excellent gameplay, only that the characters' appearance could synchronize with the story text... or is it just my phone acting up..? Keep up the good efforts.”
    • “❤️ Awesome gameplay though 👌🏼 🔥”
    • “Interesting gameplay, but the hearts are ridiculous.”
    • “But gameplay-wise... I don't know if it's my phone (which I don't think it is because I also play The Arcana game). I just wish the gameplay would be a little smoother; it feels like I'm lagging or something, which I believe I'm not. It makes me quite uncomfortable. I hope you guys will improve it.”
    • “I'm sorry, but this app is just really unpolished. First off, everything is behind a paywall. Second, the mechanics are clunky, so expect everything to go slow while reading the story. Most of the stories I read are poorly written and predictable. Not to mention there's no music or sound, so you might get a headache. Some stories have too much inappropriate content, so it's not worth it. This app is an example of a good concept but poorly executed, and they don't take criticism well.”
    • “This is atrocious to have been made after The Arcana game. It feels like it wants you to spend money on everything and is a complete 180 from The Arcana game, which is so insulting. You're expected to pay, and the gameplay is similar to The Arcana but feels like a bad mix with another game. I was hoping it would still give me happiness like The Arcana game, but instead, it makes me want to get off my phone in 3 minutes, feeling angry and frustrated.”
  • character development
