The game's story features a mix of engaging characters and multiple branching paths, allowing for varied playthroughs, though it suffers from occasional plot inconsistencies and silliness. While the interactive elements and mini-games enhance immersion, some players find the narrative lacks depth and realism, particularly in character interactions. Overall, it offers an entertaining experience for fans of visual novels, despite its narrative flaws.
“While the romance FMVs may be unrealistic, the story of Niannian Shen and Meng Xia felt quite real, and it was actually hard to leave them.”
“The main attraction of this title is the appearance of real actors, with decent performances that help you immerse yourself in the story and the world of the game, realistically embodying the protagonist.”
“Overall, if what you want is a visual novel with cute Asian girls in romantic situations, where you can enjoy them in first person and read their story carefully, this game may be to your liking.”
“I'll be honest: the story doesn't always make sense and it can get very silly at times, but it has many interesting characters, fun minigames, and catchy music.”
“But apart from that, some of the routes are quite far away from the main story, telling completely different stories, such as playing in a bar, visiting a veterinary clinic, attending a photo shoot, etc., random situations that are only slightly related to the main story because the protagonist is there with the excuse that he is looking for his ring.”
“Overall, if what you want is a visual novel with cute Asian girls in romantic situations, where you can enjoy them in first person, and read their story carefully, this game may be to your liking, but if instead you are a fan of Yua Mikami and want to play it just because she is in it, better reconsider because you may be disappointed as she does not have much time on camera.”

The optimization of the game is highlighted by the credible performances of the cast, which enhance immersion and emotional engagement. Additionally, the inclusion of various mini-games tailored to each character's personality adds depth and interactivity, contributing positively to the overall experience.
“But in addition to these choices, each girl also has her own mini-game according to her personality and story, such as a match 3, rhythm game, racing mini-game, plumbing, or even nail painting, which also earn affection points depending on your performance in them.”
