- “A fascinating and immersive story with a variety of endings.”
- “Amazing multi-branching well-written storyline with so many complex characters to fall in love with and hate.”
- “From what I can tell, the devs released this as 'complete' only with the default main heroine's storyline complete.”
- “Perhaps the biggest issue is that the game is only in Chinese (traditional and simplified characters), so unless you understand how to read Chinese you are missing out on the story, which is the biggest thing going for this game.”

- “This is an RPG game with simple combat mechanics but a fascinating wuxia storyline.”
- “At the current stage, I would say I still recommend it; however, do not have too high expectations on the battle mechanics as they are rather straightforward.”
- “The gameplay itself feels like a visual novel (or an interactive wuxia novel) with RPG elements thrown in and a somewhat basic combat system that is kind of a glorified rock-paper-scissors game and depends on some luck (at least initially, but there is some strategy to it).”
- “Perhaps hold off the purchase for now and give them time to iron out some gameplay elements and unfinished plot points, and if you can't read Chinese, hold off until there is a translation.”
