The emotional aspect of the game is mixed; while some players appreciate its anime-like storytelling, others express frustration with its mechanics, such as the lack of progression aids and repetitive gameplay, leading to a negative overall experience. This dichotomy highlights a struggle between engaging narrative and gameplay frustrations that detract from emotional investment.

- “It took me 100 days to achieve 100% completion, and the unbalanced mechanics made the experience frustrating. There are no options to skip or sweep, and some dungeons can't be completed automatically. The repetitive dungeons and boring story made it tedious, and obtaining experience potions is incredibly difficult. Events are unhelpful, and the 2x speed for the story automatically turns off during cutscenes. Overall, I would rate it 1/10.”
