The monetization strategy of the app is generally well-received, with users appreciating the minimal and unobtrusive ads that primarily appear at the bottom of the screen. However, there is disappointment regarding the necessity of purchasing the premium version to access full functionality, including character leveling, which some feel should be available in the free version. While the premium option is considered reasonably priced, users express frustration over persistent ads even after purchasing the no-ads version.
- “If you want to get the premium, it's a very reasonable price for no ads and a full character leveler that supports multiclassing.”
- “The small in-app purchase is worth it so that you can use the level-up feature too.”
- “The content updates are extremely timely, and the only in-app purchase is absolutely worth it (no ads and auto leveling for $2? Yes, I think so!).”
- “The idea and execution both seem perfect and work well; however, as far as I can tell, there is no way to level your character without buying the premium, which you need to dig through the description to even find out how much that is. I'm not even certain that price is accurate as it's just listed as the cost of the 'in-app purchases' and isn't listed as specific to the cost of premium.”
- “Illusion of choice: can't level up without paying, but the app has ads; should have full functionality from the start since the developer makes money from ads.”
- “What is the point of having an ad-supported version if it's basically impossible to use the app without a full purchase?”

Users express a strong desire for enhanced storytelling features in the game, particularly the ability to document character backstories and appearances, which are currently lacking. Many appreciate the character creation and editing capabilities but feel that the absence of dedicated sections for backstory and quest tracking limits their role-playing experience. Overall, while the game facilitates character development, it falls short in providing comprehensive tools for narrative depth.
- “The ability to add logs to my notes will be awesome so I can track story progress during each session of the campaign.”
- “Overall this game is very helpful in character creation and story building because you can edit the character after making it.”
- “My only complaint is that there is no section for backstory, but that problem is bypassed by using the notes section.”
- “My only annoyance is I'm very RP heavy with my character and wish there was a backstory page.”
- “Each time I put down a character backstory it just gets erased after a day.”

The gameplay aspect is generally well-received, particularly for its utility in understanding basic mechanics and aiding new players.

Overall, it is considered a valuable resource for enhancing gameplay experience.
- “One of the few purchases that look worthy of my money as I heavily depend on it for my gameplay!”
- “Easy to use during gameplay.”
- “Playing around with it really helps with gaining a better understanding of how the mechanics of character creation work.”
- “However, it does skip over a lot of valuable and flavorful information, especially for new players trying to get a sense of mechanics.”
- “I'm not sure if it's to avoid copyright laws or what, but occasionally the preloaded text can be a little hard to translate to what the actual mechanic is.”
- “My main issue with this is the lack of a spell list or spell choice mechanic.”
humor

The humor in the game is characterized by clever wordplay and amusing character renames, such as "dreamtouched" for kalashtar, which adds a lighthearted touch while navigating copyright issues. Users find the pricing of the full version to be so low that it’s humorously described as "not even funny." Overall, the humor enhances the creative experience without overshadowing the game's content.
- “The copyright-avoiding renames range from funny to confusing, like the kalashtar becoming the dreamtouched.”
- “Some things are worded a little funny, but that's probably to avoid legal troubles.”
- “The paid version has let me crank out so many character concepts that it's not even funny.”

The graphics are described as clean and easy to navigate, but overall, they fall short of expectations, lacking detail and artistic representation for characters. Users express a desire for improved visuals and additional guiding information, while also noting technical issues and compatibility concerns that hinder the experience. Overall, the graphics have potential but currently feel mediocre.
- “The visuals are clean and easy to navigate.”
- “It would be cooler with artwork to represent your character.”
- “This app has so much potential; the graphics could be better.”
- “Better visuals would be nice.”
- “This app could be perfect, but it needs an update. Some of my friends can't get it because it's for an older Android model, so that should definitely be fixed. Also, there is a graphical error with anything that mentions 1/2 or 1/3, and I just feel like it could be better. It has so much potential, but it's just mediocre right now.”
