The story is generally well-received, characterized as a short and sweet isekai narrative that offers enjoyable character development and a fun, relaxed experience. However, some reviews note issues with pacing, complexity, and character focus, particularly in the final installment, where certain characters receive less attention. Overall, while the story may be simple and occasionally rushed, it successfully integrates its themes with engaging visuals and character interactions.
“Honestly, this series was very nice; it's a short and sweet story, nothing is offensive, and you kind of wish there was a bit more.”
“Interesting story: a chef from another world ends up as an isekai harem protagonist in a fantasy world.”
“I had fun reading through this little story, and I think that's all that matters in the end.”
“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 story here is the sloppiest; they spend a significant chunk of the first half making Anzu an insufferable character, only to try and redeem her later.”

The game is considered to have low replayability, as many users feel it is a brief experience that does not warrant a full-price purchase, making it more of a one-time playthrough rather than something to revisit.
“It's a bit too short to recommend full price, and honestly there's no replayability; this is a one-and-done experience, which leaves the experience all the more bittersweet.”

Reviewers express frustration with the monetization strategy, perceiving the division of the game into three parts as a cash grab, especially when compared to other visual novels that offer longer content for a similar price.
“Given each game's length, I see no reason why it should have been divided into three 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 character graphics that are as long as (or longer than) all three of these games combined.”
