Many users report issues with quest progression and saving, resulting in lost progress and a feeling of being stuck, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the story.

- “The concept and gameplay is great, however the linear quest restriction and inability to build new buildings until the quest allows that renders it boring.”
- “It's a great game, I really love it mixed with a farming, building, RPG genre and I love how it makes you do more things and how guide quests work but I hope there's a bind account for it.”

- “However, after the most recent updates, it's to the point that there is too much grinding needed, especially after taking out the gem rocks you could mine (1000+ gems for 1 piece of equipment? ok let me just run 50+ dungeons). Not to mention the ever-increasing gem cost to go to new islands, and the ads that keep popping up mean it's no longer enjoyable at all.”

Overall, the game's optimization is inconsistent, with some players experiencing smooth gameplay while others report significant issues such as stuttering, freezing, and lag. Additionally, the frequent and intrusive ads detract from the experience, leading to frustration among users.

- “Gameplay runs smoothly.”
- “Pretty good, might need the smallest amount of optimization for smoother gameplay.”
- “The game can be kind of fun; my main complaint is the conversion buildings. It says to improve performance, but all it does is increase capacity. I wish it actually would make the products faster.”
- “Good premise for a game but very clunky with stuttering and freezing. The ads are obtrusive and horribly frequent, and when you opt into watching an ad for a reward, the ad plays all the way through, then the game restarts and you get nothing. Uninstalling, not for it being a bad game, just for the money-hungry devs who only worry about ad revenue and not making a smooth-running game.”
- “The game can be kind of fun, but my main complaint is the conversion buildings. It says to improve performance, but all it does is increase capacity. I wish it actually would make the products faster.”

I'm so mad; I'm deleting the game now.”
- “Give a warning before letting us sell our entire savings of farmed materials. I have accidentally touched 'sell all' like twice already, and it was heartbreaking and painful to farm all over again.”
