The story is a typical harem narrative featuring goddesses living on Earth as entertainers, with a linear progression and minimal choices that lead to predictable outcomes. While some players appreciate the charming artwork and music, many criticize the plot for being shallow, rushed, and lacking depth in character development. Overall, it appeals primarily to those seeking lighthearted fan service rather than a compelling or intricate storyline.
- “Simply put, the storytelling is exceptionally wonderful, and every click led me to a new level of excitement as my mind pondered and my heart pounded with each passing second.”
- “The lighthearted, yet surprisingly riveting story tells of two goddesses on their tale to become the best in the world.”
- “Gorgeous graphics, good soundtrack, great story although it does expect you to be at least somewhat familiar with the concept of 'idols' in Japan (sort of like 'stars' in the USA, but with a different and more enthusiastic fan base).”
- “The story is really, really simple, uninspired, and boring, and you know exactly how it all ends up right from the beginning.”
- “If you expect a captivating story, diverse, individual characters, and a good bunch of content - just look elsewhere.”
- “However, due to this visual novel being very short and seemingly as a fan service visual novel, this aspect is the weakest part of this visual novel with little variety on each character route, a rather rushed romance plot progression, and a somewhat predictable outcome.”

Overall, it is seen as a wholesome story that may resonate with players looking for lighthearted emotional engagement.

- “If you want a heartwarming story, this one is what you got.”
- “This second visual novel from Pulltop and Moenovel on Steam is a cute, funny, and heartwarming fairytale romantic comedy about three goddesses who have descended into Japanese society as singers, dancers, and entertainers to draw sakimitama (good hearts and goodwill of humanity) from their human fans and supporters.”

The optimization of the visual novel is criticized for its rushed romance plot and lack of realism in performance scenes, where the goddesses' interactions feel more like casual conversations than engaging stage performances. While the vocal songs are highlighted as a standout feature, the overall presentation suffers from inconsistencies that detract from the immersive experience.
- “The song with vocals in this visual novel makes it excellent and highlights the experience with top-notch performances by twinkle☆girls, Yuko Kawanishi, Hitomi Harada, Rita, and Chata. Their fast, catchy, and upbeat songs make J-pop and this visual novel very special and memorable.”
- “My only complaint is that some parts do not feel accurate and realistic, such as when the goddesses are performing. It does not feel as if they are actually performing with at least a working microphone used in stage performances, as featured in the CGs and background art. The voiced dialogue feels more as if the goddess is speaking directly towards the protagonist during a regular conversation rather than an idol singer addressing a fully packed audience at a concert venue.”
- “The romance plot progression feels rather rushed, where the visual novel seems to present three beautiful goddesses to the protagonist, who is a normal human with possibly slightly more sakimitama than other humans. Yet, that is enough to enable each goddess to fall in love with the protagonist and also have sufficient sakimitama to unleash their jinriki (divine power) and impress audiences at their musical performance.”
- “Some parts of the game lack realism, particularly in the performance scenes. The absence of a working microphone and the way the dialogue is presented make it feel more like a casual conversation rather than a dynamic concert experience.”
