The story in "Love & Order" is criticized for being underdeveloped and overshadowed by tedious stat management, leading to a lack of character depth and emotional engagement. While the premise has potential, the writing is deemed poor, with predictable plot twists and minimal character interaction, resulting in a disappointing experience for players seeking a compelling narrative. Overall, many reviewers feel that the game falls short of its visual novel aspirations, suggesting a need for a remake to enhance the storytelling elements.
- “The story is really interesting, the artwork is great, the gameplay is decent, 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.”
- “Overall, I'd give it a 6/10 maybe... it's a fun play, and a great story, but it's just not as good as it could have been.”

- “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.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, describing it as tedious and repetitive, involving long hours of unchanging dialogue and tasks that feel pointless. Despite completing assignments and managing stress levels, many players feel their efforts are unrecognized, leading to a sense of futility and dissatisfaction with the overall experience.
- “After over 2 hours of repeating tedious dialogue that never changes, I was stuck repeating cases and praying for the next date to get an ending. Finally, I got fired for 'not doing my job' despite my coworkers' meters being maxed, never failing an assignment, and having an endless array of completed tasks. My stress was never high, and I attended all the mindless meetings where my character contemplated suicide to escape. It felt like all my hard work was flushed down the toilet.”
- “I spent 2 hours grinding it out, balancing the demands of 4 coworkers who were forcing their own work onto me. One of them even made me do work that wasn't related to the office at all; it was his schoolwork.”
