The story is criticized for being short and lacking ambition, with players experiencing minimal character dialogue and excessive grinding that detracts from narrative progression. While there is a moral about perseverance, the overall plot fails to engage, leaving players frustrated with the gameplay rather than invested in the story.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“-- the plot is very short and not very ambitious.”
“Sadly, this is the only thing I can find any positives for about the game considering I've had maybe 5 minutes of actual dialogue with the characters, and the other 55 grinding trying to progress what should be the intro to a story.”
“After almost an hour of trying, and dying multiple times I was not able to beat the second mandatory group of enemies to help branch out the story from more than three other maps, two of which had a few healing herbs that would be used up in a single normal battle.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively long and tedious, with much of the gameplay focused on battles rather than meaningful story progression or character interaction. This imbalance leaves little room for engaging dialogue, making the experience feel monotonous.
