The art style and character designs are beautiful and contribute to the overall cute atmosphere of the game.
The game offers a good value for money, with a decent length and enjoyable gameplay experience, especially for fans of the original.

Rira and Richer's story arcs are disappointingly short and do not add much to their characters, leaving fans wanting more.
The English translation has some minor errors and feels rushed in places, which can detract from the overall experience.
The gameplay lacks depth, with minimal choices that do not significantly impact the story, making it feel more like a visual novel than an interactive experience.

The story in this visual novel sequel is praised for its emotional depth and engaging character arcs, particularly for the new heroines, Rira and Richer, as well as the returning characters, Koron and Ciel. While the narrative is described as cute and heartwarming, some players feel that certain storylines, especially those of Rira and Richer, are too short and lack the depth found in Ciel's route. Overall, the sequel shows significant improvement in storytelling and character development compared to its predecessor, though minor translation issues were noted.
- “This visual novel is the sequel to the first opus focusing on the story of the two heroines, Rira and Richer.”
- “As for the story of the four routes, I really liked the atmosphere and the cute side of the stories; I felt a lot of emotions while playing this game.”
- “Insane improvement compared to the first game; the story is way longer, character drawing is far more polished, and the story is far more engaging and naturally flows.”
- “Though Koron is my favorite character, she has the worst story by a pretty big margin.”
- “I personally like how each of the four routes are different enough to ensure that taking each means that that particular story can only happen that way, without leaving much room for other path stories to mingle and influence each route to a high degree.”
- “The patch appears to add scenes that are separate from the main story.”

The graphics of the game are well-received, featuring a charming art style and appealing character designs that enhance the overall experience. While the visuals are praised for their quality, some users feel that there could have been more content. Overall, the game is considered visually appealing and worth playing for its artistic merits.
- “It's somewhat short but also very packed with very good visuals, extremely cute characters, and a story that'll have you asking for more.”
- “All in all, the game is just so worth it; the improvement in the CG and graphic image gallery is also significant.”
- “Almost all visual novels do not require a graphics card to run the game; a processor is more than enough. However, let's not exaggerate, 2000s PCs are not going to run the game.”
- “The art style and CGs were done well, though there really should've been way more.”
- “The improvement in the CG and graphic image gallery is also significant, but it still feels lacking.”

The emotional aspect of the game features light character development and touching scenes, providing heartwarming stories that can be enjoyed in a social setting. The 18+ DLC offers additional content that does not impact the main narrative, allowing players to experience the emotional depth without distraction.
- “She didn't exactly learn anything either, but she had some light character development in some actually touching scenes.”
- “As with LSG1, the 18+ DLC does not influence the main story at all, saving all those events as extras that are unlocked only after completing each route. This makes it perfect if you want to play around others, as you can focus on the heartwarming stories in company, then see the other content when you know no one's around.”
