The story has been criticized for being both short and tedious, with many reviewers describing it as a disorganized and predictable narrative that lacks romance and excitement. Issues with grammar and character name inconsistencies further detract from the experience, making it difficult for players to engage with the plot. While some appreciate the attempt at a more intense storyline, the overall execution leaves much to be desired, leading to frustration and disappointment among players.
“I thought it was a pretty intense plot point from most otome games that don't go that far.”
“That aside, it appears there are some stories not transferred to the PC version, and the main story is that of the MC and her step-brother Mike.”
“I'm a bit sad that Matthew hasn't been added (edit: I was wrong, Matthew's story is added but he is called Dave for some reason) but overall there is still a lot of content included.”
“I've only played Mike's story so far since his route is the main story, but it just wasn't good at all. It was an awkward, unromantic word soup that couldn't inspire even a little bit of thrill in me, and every turn is predictable.”
“The grammar isn't good, sentences kept repeating, and the names of some of the characters, e.g., the mother (Linda), were changed halfway through the story to Rinda, then back to Linda.”
“I expected better... I was let down. I still haven't finished all the storylines because it's near impossible to figure out where they stop and then continue on. It's all a jumbled mess on the main story pages with no sorting by main characters. The gallery is total trash too; not many pictures and not all the main love interests are featured. I started playing this game a long time ago and keep stopping because it's so hard to get through because it's really bad.”
