- “lantern of worlds - storybook is RPG Maker garbage, but it looks like the developer did the almost-right thing and didn't flip any RPG Maker assets or try to make yet another Final Fantasy 1 ripoff about his imaginary anime girlfriend. Seriously, most RPG Maker asset flips on Steam are about the developer's imaginary anime girlfriend; it's weird.”

- “The game features really lackluster 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?).”
- “Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games.”
- “The graphics look outdated, and I was skeptical about picking it up.”

The gameplay is criticized for its reliance on static 2D text and images, leading to excessive reading and cutscenes that detract from actual gameplay. While the narrative is praised, the execution fails to effectively integrate storytelling with game mechanics, resulting in a less engaging experience.
- “It's got a good story and gameplay.”
- “For gameplay purposes, because the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static text/images, it might as well be a web page.”
- “The developers failed one of the most basic, fundamental requirements of game design: 'show, don't tell.' You'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written visual novel text cutscenes because the developers couldn't figure out how to relate their narrative through the game mechanics, and decided instead it would be better to compete with reading a book for your time.”
