The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, who report an overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay and are often necessary for progression. Many players feel that the game is designed to funnel them into watching ads or making in-app purchases, with essential features locked behind a paywall or ad-watching requirements. Additionally, issues with ads not loading further exacerbate the frustration, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab rather than a balanced gaming experience.
- “The microtransactions are plenty, but it is to be expected for a mobile game.”
- “I deleted a previous rating, but having chilled out on the ad frequency and when I had an issue with an in-app purchase, they hooked it up nice.”
- “I like the game other than the constant asking of ads even after I bought your no ads purchase; the only way to upgrade is with those ads. Other than that, great game.”
- “Seemed like a fun little timewaste of a game but unfortunately the game is riddled with ads approximately 20 every 10 minutes by my clock.”
- “The whole draw is to force you to either spend tons of money, or watch tons of ads.”
- “It's a game solely made to trap you into watching ads and buying things with real money so you see mediocre pictures of anime ladies.”

- “I don't mind clicker games like these, but I draw the line at unfunctional gameplay.”

- “Even with the ads removed, the gameplay is mostly ads -- you want pics?”
- “After 10 minutes of gameplay the photos take a stupid amount of clicks to unlock, even with ads for extra time and an auto clicker.”
