The story in "Love & Order" presents a promising premise that combines elements of mystery and romance, but ultimately falls short due to repetitive gameplay and a lack of depth in character development. While some players appreciate the engaging aspects of the narrative, many criticize its predictability, unpolished execution, and the tedious nature of completing multiple playthroughs for different endings. Overall, the narrative is seen as a missed opportunity, with potential that is not fully realized.
- “The premise is refreshing, and the mix of mystery and romance makes the story engaging, especially for those who enjoy a slower-paced narrative with a hint of detective work.”
- “The story is really interesting, the artwork is great, the gameplay is decent, and the little extras you get after you finish a route are pretty cool.”
- “Love & Order's premise is ripe for some really fun storytelling, but in the end, it all boils down to keeping the lawyer you're trying to romance happy by getting all of their assignments done on time while not stressing out so much that you end up failing at basic tasks.”
- “The story feels unpolished to me; the UI is a bit buggy and looks amateurish. The gameplay is very repetitive and feels like a chore after getting the first ending.”
- “Honestly, I do not see the point in making you play the game at least two times just to get all the endings because the main story stays the same. The dating part is more or less the same, and the only thing that changes are the endings.”
- “For me, this game was very disappointing. I didn't feel like there was really any story at all; 98% of the time you are just running around doing errands for people, and I didn't feel there was any depth to the characters at all.”

Overall, the gameplay is described as simple and straightforward but ultimately lacking depth and engagement.

- “The art is cute, the gameplay is (mostly) straightforward, and the suitors are hot.”

- “The gameplay is incredibly repetitive.”
- “The gameplay is simple, albeit repetitive, and shouldn't be too tough to chew, except for the fact that sometimes key events won't trigger, and you won't be able to make vital actions in the story, but you won't realize that.”
- “Gameplay is too much like actual work without enough incentive to keep going.”

Many found the music more of a distraction than an enhancement, resulting in low ratings.
- “I went for Pierre since he was the only one not being mean to me or yelling at me for not doing their work, and only found out on the second date that he was even a musician when he performed there.”

- “The music is kind of distracting/intense for background music when you first hear it.”
- “Seriously, the music would just stop working randomly, or it would entirely be gone for some scenes. The music didn't loop properly most of the time, and the actual music that was there was more of a distraction than it was interesting.”

Reviews highlight that grinding in visual novels can be a tedious and frustrating experience, often requiring repetitive actions and excessive clicking to progress through the story. Players express dissatisfaction with the lack of meaningful engagement, as they find themselves stuck in monotonous cycles of dialogue and tasks that lead to unfulfilling outcomes, contributing to a sense of burnout and disillusionment with the gameplay.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”

- “O....m....g.... I spent 2 hours grinding it out balancing 4 coworkers forcing their own work onto me, one of them was forcing me to do work that wasn't even office related, it's his school work.”
- “So after over 2 hours of repeating tedious dialog that basically never changes, repeating cases and praying again and again for the next date to get an ending finally... I get fired for 'not doing my job' when all of my coworkers' meters are maxed, I never failed a single assignment, I had a seemingly endless array of completed assignments, and my stress was basically never in the 20's at any given moment.”
