The story is a lightweight isekai narrative that serves as the second part of a trilogy, featuring simple yet heartwarming character arcs, particularly for characters like Dahlia and Veronica. While the plot lacks depth and is filled with clichés, it offers a relaxing experience with some emotional moments, making it enjoyable for those seeking a straightforward tale. However, the brevity and lack of replayability may deter some players from recommending it at full price.
“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.”
“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.”
“Unfortunately, this is where giving each character the development they need starts showing its downsides - despite the fact that Lupine and Daisy are as integral to the story as ever, they get very little attention.”

The graphics are considered decent but somewhat low resolution, with adult content being censored through mosaics. While the overall visual quality, including animations and soundtrack, remains consistent, the standout features are the artwork of the waifus and their charming facial expressions.
“What really makes it shine is the artwork of the waifus and the cute facial expressions.”
“The artwork is decent but a bit low res, 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 the same.”
“The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games.”

Character development in this installment is praised as the strongest among the series, particularly highlighting the depth of characters Dahlia and Veronica, which leaves players wanting more. However, some reviewers note that while the approach to character development is appealing, it leads to issues later in the narrative. Overall, the character design and story are well-received, contributing positively to the experience.
“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 are a lot better than either of the other volumes.”
“For character development, I like this approach, but there are problems that crop up later as a result.”
“The character design didn't disappoint, and the story wasn't half bad.”

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, suggesting that other visual novels offer better value for similar or longer content.
“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.”
