The story is described as an interesting but somewhat superficial concept, often feeling more like an outline than a fully developed narrative. While it features classic visual novel elements such as choices and multiple outcomes, the execution is criticized for relying on clichés and lacking depth, particularly in its exploration of themes like gender identity. Overall, it has potential for engaging storytelling, especially as the series progresses, but the initial entry is seen as weaker and somewhat confusing.
“It is an interesting concept that made me want to know more about the story.”
“While the series is more of a funny one, I felt like the plot thickens and gets more interesting and deeper the more you play.”
“Being a classic visual novel, you'll find the usual features: story, choices, different outcomes, and such. Nothing really new for anyone, but the plot here is very nice - in these games, you're basically a girl acting like a boy and you manage to trap everyone involved in this project in a virtual reality.”
“It felt like the outline of one rather than a proper story.”
“The story is set up in such a way that it could lend itself to an interesting discussion of gender identity and digital sexuality, but it instead chooses to do cliché 'oops, I tripped and grabbed your boob' moments.”
“The only thing that changes is the characters, which fade in and out as you click your way through a hodgepodge thrown together romance story.”
