The story is criticized for being bland, predictable, and poorly executed, despite an interesting concept of four separate narratives culminating in a final story. Reviewers noted significant issues with English editing, particularly in the initial story, which detracted from the overall experience. The connections between the stories were also seen as weak and unconvincing.
“I liked the idea of having 4 small separate stories leading into the final story at the end, but it doesn't matter if the idea is good, if the execution is poor.”
“There's certainly a lot of English editing work that could be done, especially to the mirror (which is unfortunately the first story).”
“I can't say much about the last story where the previous 4 (or elements of them) are mentioned but they're not related at all.”

“The soundtrack and drawings are also good.”
“I liked some sound effects and music; others I didn't.”

“The music selection is lacking, with no smooth transitions between tracks, leading to abrupt interruptions.”
“The music is poorly chosen, with jarring cuts between segments that disrupt the flow.”
