Reviews indicate a significant dissatisfaction with character development in the game, highlighting a lack of depth in both the protagonist and the male characters, who often disregard the heroine's wishes for their own gain. While some players appreciate the pacing and character designs, the overall sentiment suggests that the romance feels superficial and fails to foster meaningful connections, leaving players uninvested in the characters' journeys.
- “This is one of the otome games that I would probably replay due to how good the pacing is and the character development.”
- “Rarely will I speed through an otome wanting more and more of the character designs for Miki and Saito.”
- “I don’t consider apologizing a couple of times then continuing to do the same thing as a form of character development.”
- “I know these tropes are not uncommon in otome, but the lack of actual well-written romance and character development is obvious. I just felt like I was carting around a heroine who was being used and toyed with by characters who have as much depth as a single sheet of A4 paper.”
- “Another thing I disliked was the boys constantly ignoring the main character's wishes and acting purely for their own benefit. Any time this could have been addressed and served as some sort of character development, it went straight back to dragging her around constantly.”
- “To me, the story really is not that interesting and doesn't have any meaningful character development that allows you to become attached to any of these characters.”
