The story in this visual novel is criticized for being overly simplistic and lacking depth, with characters delivering obvious exposition and unnatural dialogue that detracts from the experience. While the concept of a girl discovering her sexuality is intriguing, it is poorly executed, leading to a narrative that feels more like a poorly written fanfiction than a compelling story. Despite some humorous moments and distinct character personalities, the overall lack of substance and engaging storytelling leaves much to be desired.
- “There is some humor in this visual novel, a bit of variety where the characters Ivanna, Alina, and Tetyana are sufficiently different from one another with different personalities and a potentially attractive yuri storyline that could be expanded and improved further in a DLC or sequel.”
- “Unique story concept with elements of live television broadcasting.”
- “This wouldn't be such a problem if the story wasn't about a girl discovering that she is a lesbian and those scenes are where it happens.”
- “I can look past the asset flipping and stock images that this visual novel crutches on, but the story is virtually handed to you.”
- “What I mean by this is that every character points out the obvious - what's currently happening in the story and what is about to happen soon, both of which the audience could've otherwise picked up on their own.”
- “The way characters speak in the story isn't natural, and it feels like I'm reading an article instead of human dialogue.”

- “The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it easy to tune out.”
