The story in the game is often described as unengaging and repetitive, with many players relying on auto-pathing features that diminish the need to pay attention to quests. While there are numerous quests available, the automation leads to a lack of depth and emotional connection, making the gameplay feel tedious and simplistic. Some players note that the story can be pieced together through in-game books, but overall, the narrative experience is overshadowed by the game's mechanics and automation.
- “The game has a good storyline and the class options are pretty good.”
- “You also learn much more of the story with books found around the world.”
- “The overall gameplay is amazing; love the graphics, the quests are just fun all the way around.”
- “When you reach level 40, it gets super boring and repetitive because of the quest automation.”
- “A perfect example of what gaming has become these days: you just click a dialogue in the middle of the screen and your character runs automatically to your quest mob, and you can spam your standard attack until it's dead. Repeat this a million times and you are max level in 2 or 3 days.”
- “You can autopath pretty much everywhere; quests feel meaningless and the combat system is outdated.”

- “It appeared Eternal Magic was yet another lazy cash grab MMORPG.”
- “Games not bad; it's like a free WoW with a lot of microtransactions.”
