The story is a lightweight isekai narrative that, while lacking in depth and complexity, offers a heartwarming experience with relatable characters like Dahlia and Veronica. Although it follows familiar fantasy tropes and is relatively short, many players appreciate its simplicity and emotional moments, making it a pleasant choice for those seeking a relaxing gaming experience. However, some critiques highlight rushed plot points and a lack of character development for certain key figures, suggesting that while enjoyable, the story could benefit from more depth and length.
“The characters are surprisingly heartwarming, and I actually kind of teared up at Veronica's story of blaming herself for a certain event.”
“Honestly, this one is the best of the three, and you actually kind of wish for a longer story with more plot to experience these characters with. Both Dahlia and Veronica are top tier; their story and character development is a lot better than either of the other volumes.”
“The story is also very compelling; I would highly recommend it.”
“There's not much depth to the narrative, and for those that simply want a relaxing wind-down experience for a peaceful, non-offensive story, this is it.”
“The story feels a little rushed and rife with deus ex machina; still, I'm impressed they managed to squeeze in as much as they did without turning it into an incomprehensible mess.”
“The story is still ridiculously cliché, by-the-numbers fantasy anime.”

The graphics are considered decent but somewhat low resolution, with adult content being censored, which detracts from the overall experience. However, the artwork of the characters, particularly the waifus, and their cute facial expressions are highlighted as standout features.
“What really makes it shine is the artwork of the waifus and their cute facial expressions.”
“The artwork is decent but a bit low resolution, and the adult content (which seems to be the primary purpose of the series) is still censored with mosaics.”
“Graphics, voices, soundtrack, and animations are consistent throughout the game.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a cash grab, with users expressing frustration over its division into three parts despite the short overall length, especially when compared to other visual novels that offer better content for a similar price.
“Given each game's length, I see no reason why it should have been divided into 3 parts; I can only assume it was a cash grab tactic on the part of the developers, as there are other visual novels with better CGs that are as long as (or longer than) all 3 of these games combined.”
“This game is what the companies who claim to make you cum in seconds should link to their ads.”
