The story has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it underwhelming and lacking emotional weight, particularly during significant moments and the endgame, which felt anticlimactic. While the overarching narrative and side quests offer potential for immersion, numerous gameplay issues, such as poor UI and broken quests, detract from the overall experience. Despite these shortcomings, there is a sense of promise in the storyline, suggesting that with improvements, it could become more engaging.
- “Other than that, this game has a great storyline and side quests allowing pure immersion in anything you do!”
- “Your general goal is to attain immortality and progress your cultivation, so you'll complete quests and gather materials as a means to that end.”
- “Although most NPCs are randomly generated based on the same creation tools as your character, enemies and story characters are all unique.”
- “Big moments in the story and breakthroughs should matter more; they feel flat right now, like they're not really that important.”
- “However, the thing that stood out the most was the endgame, which felt truly lackluster; just a more drawn-out battle than usual and then no ending or credits roll or anything like that, just back to business as usual after it's over with and nothing left in the quest log.”
- “Some systems are not implemented, some quests are broken, and some events even say 'this NPC gives you [quest pending] quest.'”

- “Clearly, the developers do not know what kind of games are out there in the world and are stuck with mechanics reminiscent of the 1980s.”
- “Sadly, this game is still far from full release, featuring poor English translation and requiring a lot of time spent grinding, while the actual gameplay can probably be completed in less than 10 hours.”

While players acknowledge that grinding is a core element of this genre, the repetitive nature of the farming and cultivation mini-games feels lackluster, with limited variety in activities.
- “Seeing as that's basically the point of this kind of game, I'm not going to knock that too much, but this feels unusually grindy, especially late game.”
- “Farming for materials and cultivation are timing-based mini games, but I have only done about 3 different ones as of now.”
- “Grindy, lackluster, but not bad.”

Players appreciate the emotional depth of the game, noting that each NPC has a unique, generated background that adds layers to their personality and strengths. This attention to detail allows players to connect with characters on a more personal level, enhancing the overall emotional experience of the game.
- “Like you, each NPC also has a background that's been generated and can be read to confirm their personality and strengths, like knowing the guy walking down the street was raised by his grandma and didn't shed a tear at their funeral.”
