The game's storylines are generally engaging and well-crafted, with many players expressing enjoyment of the narratives and character interactions. However, a significant drawback is the reliance on diamonds for making meaningful choices, which often restricts players from fully exploring the story as they desire. This paywall for key decisions detracts from the overall experience, leading to frustration among users who feel their ability to shape the narrative is limited. Additionally, the waiting time for tickets to continue the story is seen as excessive, further diminishing the enjoyment of the gameplay.
