The game's story is widely praised for its engaging and immersive narrative, featuring well-developed characters and intriguing plotlines that blend romance with action elements. However, many players express frustration with the pacing, as progression is often hindered by level caps tied to daily tasks, leading to periods of inactivity in the main storyline. Overall, while the graphics and character interactions are lauded, the need for grinding and the occasional technical issues detract from the storytelling experience.
“The story is fantastic and serious, and yes it has romance but with a lot of mysteries to uncover and a lot of plot twists to look forward to.”
“The story is immersive and the graphics are great!”
“The storyline is engaging, the combat is fun, and the characters are interesting.”
“However, the romance path and the story itself is kind of boring; it lacks naturalness and the connection between the main story and the little events.”
“The only negative thing I can possibly say is that you sometimes have to wait a day or two to unlock the next main story chapter if you are underlevel, since the only way to rank up is from experience which can only be gotten from first-time battles in the story and daily activities.”
“I really wanted to keep up with this game, but much of the story elements, aside from the main story, are locked behind the gacha system.”

The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their stunning quality and immersive design, often described as breathtaking and comparable to high-end console titles. However, many players have reported performance issues, including lag and crashes, particularly on lower-end devices, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite these challenges, the visual artistry and attention to detail in character design and environments are frequently highlighted as standout features that enhance the gameplay.
“The graphics are absolutely beautiful, amazing combat experience, amazing story, I'm so excited to see more characters and mini-games in the future.”
“The graphics are stunning, the characters are adorable, and the story is engaging.”
“The graphics, the story, the system, the mechanics, the characters - all of these were perfect and worked together in flawless harmony to create a wonderful masterpiece.”
“But it is, unfortunately, a PC game trying to perform as a mobile one; it is so heavy, the battery drains quickly, even with a really good phone (mine can run games like Genshin Impact on high pretty smoothly). With the lowest graphics, it doesn't perform as well as it should.”
“It's impossible to play without consuming too much battery or lagging, more voice lag than graphics lag.”
“I'm highly in love with this game, but the cutscenes just bother me a lot because no matter what graphics I choose, it keeps lagging. The voice lines, music, and SFX in the cutscenes are broken, and it bothers me. I never get to play the game because of how bothersome the cutscene was.”

Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game. While some appreciate the balance between story, battles, and resource grinding, many find the resource farming tedious and the rewards insufficient, leading to frustration, especially at higher levels. Overall, the game is seen as generous in some areas, but the grind can become monotonous and may push players towards spending money to progress more easily.

“The only trouble you'll find is the monotonous routine of farming and leveling the memories before winning the required battle to advance in the plot and the lack of events which lead to the routine of just logging in having nothing much to do or experience and not enough wishes to get your wanted 5-star memory.”
