- “I love the plot so much and the art style is just pretty.”

The monetization strategy in the game heavily relies on ad-watching for in-game tickets, which many players find frustrating due to the low rewards and high ticket costs for choices. While some appreciate the initial concept of earning tickets through ads, the overwhelming frequency and intrusiveness of ads hinder gameplay and progress, often leading to a paywall experience after a certain point. Overall, players express a desire for a more balanced approach to monetization that reduces ad interruptions while still allowing for free play options.
- “You need to watch so many ads for just 30 tickets when the choices require like 700 sometimes, and you often need to select special choices if you want to gather those heart points.”
- “Watching two ads for just one choice becomes a tiresome routine, hindering progress.”
- “It's good at first, but you can't really get past chapter 11/12 without paying money or spending ages watching ads, and then another couple chapters later it's the same problem again.”

Players find the ticket system in the game to be overly demanding, with requirements ranging from 10 to 700 tickets, making it difficult for free-to-play users to enjoy the experience. While the game itself is praised for its charming story, the grinding aspect related to ticket acquisition is seen as tedious and could benefit from a more accessible approach.
- “The game is really good and the story is very cute and heartwarming, but the ticket system is just really bad. The ticket requirements for a special choice can be from 10 tickets to 700 tickets. Why can't the ticket system just be cheaper so most free-to-play players can have fun with the game while also grinding to earn the tickets through the ad system or by unlocking items in the gallery?”
- “I find the ticket system tedious but will move past it.”
