The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it interesting and engaging, while others criticize it for being repetitive and hindered by a frustrating mission system that often requires unattainable materials. Many users express frustration over the slow progression and the need to pay for storyline content, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, some players appreciate the graphics and merging gameplay, indicating that the story has potential but is marred by gameplay mechanics.
- “Interesting story and good graphics.”
- “Fun story and satisfying merging gameplay.”
- “Good game so far, I've been playing for about 2 weeks now. The storyline is also great; the game isn't boring like most merge games. Thanks, guys.”
- “Honestly was a 5* for me until like always, I can't keep moving forward in the storyline even though I have completed so many goals now that I have thousands of dollars in the game to do renovations, except guess what.”
- “A disaster of a merge game; you will pretty much forever stay at dropping level 1 materials and some quests want you to make them a level 13 material. Those are 4096 level 1 materials, with an energy system that can create only 100 level 1 materials, and you get 1 energy every 2 minutes... yeah, very fun... if you plan on not watching ads or paying for this game, you will legit never complete it.”
- “It's obvious the story is generated from another language center.”

The gameplay is often compared to "Merge Restaurant," but many users find it less enjoyable due to shared stamina between the main and bonus games, leading to boredom and limited options. While some appreciate the engaging story and satisfying merging mechanics, others criticize the lack of variety and poor UI, resulting in a gameplay experience that feels restricted and frustrating. Overall, the game offers enjoyable moments but suffers from significant limitations.
- “There's always something to do (i.e., events & side stories), so there's no long wait time for gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is fun and interesting!”
- “Lovely game for all to enjoy, graphics and gameplay are worth the play.”
- “Exactly the same as Merge Restaurant as far as the gameplay (renovating is different), but worse, because the 'bonus' game has shared stamina with the main game, so playing the bonus game slows the main game.”
- “This is a big issue as you have to wait for just one item to recharge, as there's usually only 1 or 2 tasks that can actually be done, which makes the gameplay boring.”
- “The two modes of gameplay don't really mesh, and there are so few options for the designs that it feels very pointless.”
