The story in the game is intriguing but often feels opaque and repetitive, making it challenging for players to fully experience all its nuances without external guides. Despite multiple playthroughs, many users report difficulty in uncovering the complete narrative and achieving all story-related goals, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the lack of updates and persistent bugs have left some players feeling frustrated with the storytelling mechanics compared to similar titles.
- “That's not a hindrance to your ability to see the story; that's the actual game, figuring that stuff out.”
- “And even with that many plays, I still haven't come close to revealing 'the full real story' (I'm at 2 reveal scenes of 5), unlocking every last bonus item (at least 7 to 8 plays required there, even once you start knowing how to max your bonuses), or getting all the 'good' cards.”
- “It's not that it's a bad game, or that the story isn't interesting... it's that it came out three years ago and the devs haven't patched even the most glaring of bugs.”
- “For example, the steps to progress certain romance routes and major story events seemed highly opaque, whereas people who do not automatically use game guides may lose out on completing any of the routes.”

The gameplay of Lair Land Story is criticized for becoming overly finicky after the early stages, leading to a perception that it does not hold up against similar titles like Princess Maker 2 and Long Live the Queen.
- “Due to the finickiness of the gameplay past the early game, I believe that Lair Land Story fails to justify itself against its Princess Maker-like contemporaries (e.g., Princess Maker 2, Long Live the Queen, and Chinese Parents).”
