The story is a mixed bag, with some players finding it engaging and filled with witty dialogue, particularly in the second episode of the "Midnight’s Blessing" saga, which introduces new characters and settings. However, others criticize it for being dry and overly reliant on fan-fiction tropes, such as the protagonist's obsession with an unattainable character. Additionally, technical issues with the quest system detract from the overall narrative experience.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Second episode of the Midnight’s Blessing saga is actually very similar to the first one: it’s got nice sceneries (this time you get to travel to a new continent), interesting story that picks up four years after the previous one ended, more witty dialogues, and at least one enticing character from the new set of companions (the other one is a bit of a jerk).”
“Gameplay is decent, characters are fun, and the plot is engaging.”
“This is another one of the ones where the story is about one of his fan-fiction waifu princesses that he's totally going to marry but goes to another school so you can't meet her, and presumably once more inspired by a body pillow.”
“I am writing this now because I just finished a quest and went to turn it in, and it started the quest again with no way to finish it the second time.”
“Will try the first game at some point, then maybe I'll get into the story, but overall it felt really dry playing this game.”

The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, characterized by poor quality, reliance on stock assets, and a lack of genuine development effort. Reviewers express concern that such practices tarnish the reputation of amateur developers and contribute to the proliferation of low-quality games on platforms like Steam.
“This kind of cash grab construction kit shovelware from bad actors like Andorlea gives amateur developers a bad name.”
“It's horribly basic, riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, full of stock copy-pasted RPG Maker assets... no real game development has taken place here, this is just a cash grab, it's shovelware polluting Steam for profit.”
