The story is a disjointed collection of subplots that vary in interest, with a humorous and poorly written narrative that includes numerous spelling errors, adding an unintended comedic element. Despite its lack of coherence, the plot features a diverse cast and explores themes of friendship, love, and betrayal, complemented by strong presentation elements like music and visuals. While the storytelling is flawed, it may appeal to fans of visual novels who appreciate a mix of genres and are willing to engage with its challenges.
“Over the course of the story across 5 chapters, Lance, Ciaruty, and Ilyina are joined by an elf girl, Shella, a female adventurer, Louisa, Lance's childhood friend, Leonhart, and two capital city special forces members, Chris and Angela in a tale of friendship, love, courage, resourcefulness, heroism, loss, perseverance, honor, betrayal, and lust.”
“The story and plot are written with a share of comedy, tragedy, fantasy, thriller, mystery, romance, and fanservice. The background music, opening movie cinematic, CGs, and overall presentation are great.”
“Recommended with OST DLC when at a discount or bundle offer for those who can listen, read, and understand Chinese voiced dialogue and subtitles, for visual novel and anime fans who like to try a visual novel with great artwork, soundtracks, and a plot and storyline in a fantasy setting with both magic/supernatural and science fiction themes.”
“The plot is a mishmash of different subplots in different chapters, some more interesting - especially the first few ones - that have little continuity with each other.”
“Lots of misspelled words and badly written sentences throughout the story.”
“The story itself is not well told.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, featuring great background tracks and an impressive opening cinematic, but it suffers from a lack of diversity and additional tracks. While the overall presentation is strong, the absence of an ending theme song is noted as a missed opportunity. Players recommend the game, especially with an OST DLC during discounts, for those who appreciate visual novels with rich soundtracks and engaging storylines.

The humor in the game is characterized by its crude writing and intentionally poor translation, which elicits frequent chuckles and adds to the overall comedic experience. While some may find the humor amusingly bad, it is noted that the low price makes it a worthwhile, albeit quirky, purchase.
“The story is crudely written throughout in a funny way, providing plenty of chuckles along the way.”
“The most hilarious aspect, by far, is the bad translation.”
“It makes one wonder if this was done intentionally, but either way, it adds to the hilarity of the story.”
