  • monetization324 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the high cost of in-app purchases and the aggressive push for microtransactions.

  • story188 mentions

    The game's story is generally appreciated for its charm and cute graphics, but many players find it repetitive and frustrating due to the heavy reliance on premium currency (gems) for quest progression. Users express dissatisfaction with quests that require spending gems, which are difficult to earn without real money, leading to a slow and often stalled gameplay experience. While the storyline has potential, the execution is hindered by excessive monetization and a lack of engaging content, making it feel like a pay-to-win scenario.

    • “There's a storyline too, but it's broken and you can't progress in it.”
    • “The gems thing is ridiculous; eventually, you'll get quests that force you to unlock chests using gems or skip quests using, guess what, more gems.”
  • stability169 mentions

    • “The love is in the air event was horrible. I cried for 10 minutes because it was only 2 days long. I really wanted the prize, but I was 300 roses away, and then it was 256 gems or something. Great job, creator; you are mean.”

The high requirements for completing events, such as healing large amounts of land, are seen as discouraging and detract from the overall enjoyment and replay value.
