    The story of "Lovekami - Healing Harem" is characterized as a generic harem narrative featuring goddesses of misfortune, with a linear plot and minimal branching choices that lead to predictable endings.

    • “The story is about three goddesses with problems: the noble shrine goddess Kaede, a reformed tatarigami (who has destructive powers), Shion, a young and modern goddess of misfortune (who herself has quite some luck in day trading stocks), and the tatarigami Yukari, who first appears at the shrine right at the beginning of the game and has strong yandere tendencies.”
