The game's story is divided into five self-contained arcs, each focusing on different female characters, with plots that range from simplistic and cliché to absurdly humorous. While some players find the narratives entertaining and engaging, often likening them to cheap porn films, others criticize the brevity and lack of depth in character development. Overall, the story serves as a light-hearted backdrop to the gameplay, with mixed reviews on its coherence and execution.
- “You follow a few different storylines, but basically the gist is that you encounter a girl and begin dating her, which leads you into multiple adventures, like exploring the modeling world, crime scenes, and race tracks.”
- “The story is separated into 5 self-contained arcs focusing on particular girls, each arc is divided into 4 stages which are locked by a love meter.”

- “The story of love rhythm ranges from pretty basic porn plots to some genuinely hilarious illogical writing that is so absurd that you can't help but laugh.”
