    The story is generally seen as a mix of familiar anime tropes and clichés, with some players finding it engaging while others feel it lacks depth and originality. While the narrative features a straightforward plot about an underdog becoming an idol, it often relies on exposition and can become predictable, leading to a less engrossing experience. Despite its shortcomings, some players appreciate the character design and the overall charm of the story, finding it enjoyable in a light-hearted way.

    • “The overall story, of course, is in line with what I've seen before: it relies on the tropes that have existed for decades in anime, but with this team's games, they are done right - exploring the different aspects of the settings and characters.”
    • “Beautiful character design and a pretty good story behind it.”
    • “What an amazing game! I never thought I was into games like this where you read and choose the path, but after playing this, I gotta say I really enjoyed it. The story was so good, I really enjoyed it, and I think my money was very well spent here. It even gave me a sense of joy and hope all at the same time.”
    • “A lot of my gripes about it is just that for me it's not very engrossing as a story.”
    • “The whole 'new girl underdog becoming an idol' storyline seemed like an afterthought.”
    • “What I got instead was a game where 2/3 of the text (not exaggerating) is exposition where you watch a story that makes very little sense of a strong, extremely talented, extremely skilled woman become an idol and fall for a guy who in reality they wouldn't bother looking at twice.”
