The gameplay is largely criticized for being minimalistic and repetitive, primarily consisting of walking around and clicking to trigger scenes, with little to no engaging mechanics or combat. While some players appreciate the focus on narrative and adult themes, many express a desire for more substantial gameplay elements, leading to a generally tiresome experience. Overall, the gameplay serves mainly to advance the story rather than provide entertainment or challenge.
“Minimalistic gameplay that keeps things interesting and makes sex the focus of the game (or chastity if you actually do that, probably not except for good ending).”
“(Don’t get me wrong; I prefer a good combat-and-exploration-based RPG over lsol’s mechanics. But if you, like most h-rpg developers, can’t be bothered to balance your combat properly, it’s better to leave it out entirely. lsol does the latter, to its credit).”
“This game is similar to President Yukino in gameplay, except it's set in a fantasy world and the title character Leanna is married.”
“The gameplay loop can get a little repetitive and tedious, but the scenes and progression are decent.”
“There isn't really much gameplay; the only gameplay in this is walking around and clicking space to get a scene.”
“The game mechanics are minimalistic and not entertaining or challenging enough by themselves; they exist purely to carry the story forward.”

The game's story is characterized as a simple, light-hearted NTR narrative that effectively engages players despite its predictability and minimalistic gameplay. While some reviews highlight the enjoyable artwork and the focus on story over combat, others criticize the overall depth and originality, suggesting that it may not satisfy those seeking a more substantial narrative experience. Overall, it appeals to fans of the genre looking for a casual, lewd storyline.
“Despite the NTR theme, the story is light-hearted; Leanna recovers quickly from any nasty stuff happening to her and retains her joyful attitude throughout the game.”
“Lsol correctly assumes that you’ll be playing this game for the story and the CGs.”
“So if you fancy a light-hearted NTR story with excellent artwork and all the usual tropes, by all means, go ahead.”
“There is no real story whatsoever.”
“The story is very flat and very predictable.”
“Mediocre gameplay and story though.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively repetitive and tedious, with many noting that grinding for money becomes more monotonous than traditional experience point grinding in RPGs. The gameplay loop can feel drawn out, especially with the requirement to engage in grinding over a lengthy 60-day period, making the experience feel like a chore rather than enjoyable progression.
“At a certain point, grinding money becomes even more monotonous than grinding XP in a regular RPG.”
“It gets very repetitive very fast and you have 60 days of grinding to go through.”
“The only speed bump in the game is the daily evening diner with Kai, which takes a fair amount of time and gets tedious after a while.”

Additionally, the visuals are complemented by great voice acting, contributing to a polished presentation. Overall, the game effectively incorporates quality-of-life features typical of RPGs, further elevating its graphical appeal.
“In the end, the game is nicely done, has great voice acting for the girls, the graphics are well done, and they have very nice quality of life features that most RPGs with menus should have.”
“The graphics during fights are lackluster and fail to convey the intensity of the action.”
“The overall graphics are disappointing, with bland textures and uninspired designs.”
“The character models look outdated, making it hard to immerse myself in the game.”
