  • story
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is praised for its emotional depth, strong characterization, and exploration of societal themes like gender oppression and love barriers, often delivering a bittersweet and heartfelt experience. While some find the plot interesting and well-crafted with meaningful side content, others feel it is somewhat rushed, incomplete, or lacking in background detail. Overall, it offers a cute, engaging narrative with beautiful art that resonates emotionally, especially for those who appreciate bittersweet storytelling.

    • “The story deals with societal conflicts such as gender oppression, conforming to the norms, and barriers of being unable to choose the person you love, which is sometimes still seen in present society.”
    • “The characterization is pretty epic as well—you find a great deal of different characters and their backgrounds (unlocked in bonus/extra menus). There seem to be cameo appearances of certain characters and the authors included; it was pretty interesting to see the hidden tidbits in the story.”
    • “The story itself is inspired by the hardships and challenges the author had to go through in her life.”
    • “That's pretty lazy storytelling.”
    • “Unfortunately, the story simply wasn't interesting enough for me to go back.”
    • “But in every single route the story feels rushed and incomplete.”
  • music
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its atmospheric and fitting quality, featuring beautiful soundtracks and a memorable ending theme. Many users appreciate the combination of great music with the game's artwork, enhancing the overall experience, especially for fans of visual novels and traditional Chinese settings.

    • “The game has beautiful artwork, great opening and ending movie, theme song, and soundtracks.”
    • “I love the soundtracks and the ending theme as well, 'Color My World'. I played it roughly for six hours straight.”
    • “The music is fitting and the ending song is really beautiful (such a nice voice).”
    • “I had originally planned to recommend the game when at discount of less than $10 (as it takes less than 10 hours to obtain all achievements, read and unlock all bonus content) or if the announced soundtrack DLC comes in a free DLC and when an annoying bug where a red screen might occasionally appear and block the entire screen is fixed. I have decided to reconsider and recommend the game at the current discounted price of 20% off after reading through the developer comments that this game took up to 6 years to produce and involved a lot of hard work from the developer.”
    • “On a linked Tumblr page of Zeiva Inc's website (Orz Corporation), a soundtrack DLC and a guide for the game were announced to be in development (3 June 2017), while an announced (reverse) harem ending (1 April 2017) seems to be in the bonus unlockable side story.”
    • “Decent soundtrack.”
