Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some enjoy the farming mechanics and the thrill of finding rare gear, many express frustration over the excessive time required to progress, with some reporting hours of grinding for minimal gains. The inability to run the game in the background adds to the tedium, making the grinding feel more burdensome for those seeking a more progressive adventure. Overall, while the game has enjoyable elements, the slow and often tedious grinding can detract from the overall experience.
“Definitely very fun, but progress is tied to grinding for what's usually a 1% chance for better gear or grinding experience for hours.”
“The amount of grinding in this game makes it unenjoyable; 8 hours of playtime to reach level 16 is ridiculous, and it only gets slower from there.”
“I want progressive adventure, not grinding away for hours.”

The story has received mixed feedback, with some players finding it engaging and enjoyable, while others feel it lacks depth and content. Many appreciate the storytelling and plot, but there are calls for more quests and narrative development to enhance the overall experience. Overall, the story is seen as a strong point for those who connect with it, despite some criticisms regarding its brevity and pacing.
“The story was engaging enough, although there's not a lot of it.”
“It's time-consuming, but so far, the story is really good.”
“Love the storytelling.”
“Big waste of time; it doesn't even have a story, just random dialogue.”
“Still needs more quests; there are a lot of junk items that can only be sold at the shop. Maybe add daily quests to collect some items or something.”
“The story is grave; the items' design, sounds, control difficulty, etc. are good for me.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it fun and surprisingly deep for an idle game, while others criticize it for being shallow, slow, and grind-heavy, leading to a frustrating experience. Many users noted the lack of offline progress and balance issues, which detracted from their overall enjoyment.
“The gameplay is surprisingly deep for an idle game.”
“The mechanics themselves are simple, and you can grasp them quickly even without a super obvious tutorial.”
“The mechanics of playing it in an active runtime have their ups and downs, but it sure is fun.”
“Great idea made into a horrible game with pretty much no gameplay, shallow and uninteresting story, slow and painful progression, questionable balance, a lot of grind, and of course, no offline progress, because why should you do nothing and get progress when you can get progress by doing nothing while wasting your battery and turning your phone into a virtual daycare for some rat-murdering kid.”
“Gameplay too slow.”
“Quit after 15 minutes of gameplay.”

The monetization model of the game is largely praised for its minimal reliance on microtransactions, offering only optional permanent buffs that can also be earned through ads. Players appreciate the lack of aggressive monetization tactics, with only a few affordable quality-of-life purchases available, although some express concerns about the game's overall content and potential cash grab elements.
“It's been a while since I've enjoyed a game without many microtransactions.”
“I purchased the only in-game items because I like the game and the developer.”
“This little gem of a game is one of the few today that doesn't rely on baiting you to buy things. It's a simple and addictive concept, with only three quality-of-life in-game purchases that you can avoid if you want and still enjoy it.”
“The only money you could spend would be to have permanent buffs, but you can gain these through optional ads.”
“So far, the game is enjoyable, but the ads aren't working for the fairy even after consenting.”
“This game is so stale; it doesn't have items, more like a cash grab.”
