The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized for being ad-heavy, with many players feeling that the cost to remove ads is excessively high, often leading to frustration. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others find the frequency of ads intrusive and detrimental to gameplay, especially when they encounter issues with ad loading or functionality. Overall, the game offers a mix of optional ads and paid features, but many players feel that the balance leans too heavily towards monetization at the expense of enjoyment.
“It does some things really well, I am glad there is an option for no ads with a one-time payment, which wasn't too high.”
“You can buy the no ads option to support the devs, which I highly recommend.”
“Paid for the no ads and it was 100% worth it.”
“Insane and borderline impossible with ads, but absolutely not worth spending the extortionate fee to remove ads, especially as some formerly free options now cost gems.”
“Progress slams to a halt and you're watching ads every 30 seconds for minimal rewards or spend $12 to remove ads... I realize they have to make money but I'm not spending $12 on a game I beat in 6 hours or less.”
“The only thing I don't like is all the ads, and it costs $10 not to have to watch them.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, glitches, and crashes, particularly after updates. Many players have experienced issues such as the game restarting levels, difficulty in reporting bugs, and graphical problems that hinder gameplay.

“Great till it started freezing; every time I open the game now, it freezes and has a force stop prompt.”
“The game is really good... it curbs my boredom... it has some bugs/glitches... whenever I click on any weapon to read the description, it shows behind the gems and coins, so it can't be read... there is no way I can report bugs in-game... not even from the settings option panel.”
“Was enjoying the game, but after the last update, now it freezes on the loading screen.”

The gameplay is generally described as smooth and enjoyable, featuring charming graphics and simple mechanics that make it accessible and fun. However, many users note that it lacks originality, with gameplay elements being similar to other idle school/tycoon games, and some express concerns about balance issues and the potential for repetitive content. Overall, while the game is addictive and visually appealing, it suffers from a lack of innovation and some gameplay inconsistencies.
“It's such a nice peaceful game, graphics are nice, gameplay smooth, not overly complex like some games but lots of fun elements to it.”
“Great game, I got it because of the art style and stuck around because of the mechanics of the game.”
“Fun to play, charming graphics and simple gameplay make for an easy and enjoyable experience.”
“On the 3rd school, the random event for ancestry gives only 50 crystals when the other 2 school events give 75, which is disappointing. Also, buying the offline manager is a complete waste of money; 2 minutes of gameplay will yield more coins than 10 hours offline.”
“There are only two stages, and the gameplay is pretty simple.”
“There's not one single original mechanic in this game, so my assumption is they'll take your money and never release new content like the other games it's copying.”

Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; while some find it fun and not overly tedious, others feel that progression can become frustratingly slow, especially when significant coin requirements hinder advancement. The game is noted for its faster progression compared to its predecessor, but some users still encounter moments where grinding becomes necessary and can feel excessive.
“It's fun, entertaining, and not too grindy.”
“My only wish is that the matching game you unlock was longer: I completed it late into the 2nd school, and it feels extremely hard to progress now as the 3rd school requires lots of coins that I can't earn through the matching game, making the leveling feel almost tedious.”
“Good for the spooky inclined, but there are some large leaps in payment that can get tedious.”
“It helps that most of the game elements I have come across can be acquired by grinding.”
