The humor in the game is often described as light-hearted and absurd, with players finding amusement in the game's mechanics, such as the harem system and the unrealistic speed of character reproduction.

Overall, the game is seen as a fun, entertaining experience, though its humor can become repetitive over time.
“The 'maidens' / harem mechanic is hilariously terrible because it punishes you for having more maidens by making it increasingly more difficult or expensive to have heirs with your choice.”
“Update: I find it hilarious that your maiden can conceive and give birth after one visit (2 seconds real time) but everything else takes days to unlock.”
“It's funny you just start the game and ask to rate it; give it a few days so now I had some time to play the game for what it is. It's an okay game, a few things I would change, but for the most part, it's okay.”
