I am an adventurer who just graduated from college. In pursuit of the challenge, I came to the distant border of the Kingdom: the town of Garlant in the Doly region. I will write a new chapter in my life here. It will be a wonderful adventure story.

The story in "Garlant: My Story" is described as beautiful and engaging, featuring a unique blend of farming, combat, and quests with detailed lore. However, it suffers from inconsistencies and a predictable plot twist, compounded by a declining quality in English translation as the game progresses. Despite these issues, the narrative and character development are praised for adding depth to the gameplay experience.
- “The immersive story and character progression add depth, making players feel like they are truly part of an epic adventure.”
- “Rich story and character development: the game shines in its narrative and character development.”
- “"Garlant: My Story" offers a unique blend of farming, combat, and role-playing elements that can be quite engaging, but it’s not without its flaws.”
- “What kind of broke the whole game for me was that the English translation gets worse and worse the further you get into the story. Around the middle part, I did not know if I was having a stroke or if that's just the translation. For players: around the time after you liberate the second area is when the translation just started breaking down for me horribly. Up until then, it was funky but readable.”
- “Being a Chinese game, I can understand why the translation is difficult, but I hope they will address these issues. There are a lot of instances when the game is just painfully Chinese, which hampered both characters and story. For example, one of the character's gimmicks is that she is a child who helps at her family's restaurant, and her every other line is that good kids should help out with chores. Yes, unironically, every second line of hers is that.”
- “The story lacks depth and coherence, making it hard to stay engaged. The characters feel one-dimensional, and their motivations are often unclear, which detracts from the overall experience.”

With further development and refinement, the game has the potential to become a standout title.

- “With more time in development and some slight changes (especially to the translation and some core mechanics), I think this game can be a real gem. I had a lot of fun while playing and it sucked me in for hours, but the problems are still there.”
- “You will be busy, busy, busy. See the 10-hour gameplay?”
