The story is generally considered average, with some users noting that it has potential but lacks depth, particularly in its execution of certain elements. Additionally, there are technical issues that prevent players from completing quests, which detracts from the overall experience.
“You can't actually complete all the turn-in quests because it refuses to accept them.”
“(Again, I'm only 51 minutes in, but based on the story so far, the futa element seems to be a long-term aspect of the narrative.)”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its quality. However, some users have noted that the looping mechanism is flawed, as the transition back to the beginning can be jarring after the outro fades out.
“The music is good.”
“Once it fades out at the end or the outro is played, the music repeats itself back to the start.”
“The soundtrack feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“The music doesn't match the game's atmosphere, which detracts from the overall experience.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game challenging at first, but it becomes rewarding as they accumulate resources, particularly gold, to enhance their abilities. However, achieving 100% completion is noted to be very grindy, requiring significant time investment.
“It is pretty tough in the beginning, but after grinding enough gold, you can make every enemy cry with the might of Misty.”
“Very grindy if you intend to 100% clear.”
