The story aspect of the game is marred by frustrating technical issues, such as quests not resetting properly and popups that are difficult to close, which detracts from the overall experience. Players express disappointment over the inability to progress due to recurring quests and bugs that hinder gameplay, despite enjoying the game's potential and mechanics. There is a desire for more rewarding side quests and offline play options to enhance engagement.
“When you complete a quest and get the rewards and log back on later, and the game wants you to complete the same quest again and starts you from zero, it's frustrating.”
“In itself, I'm okay with ignoring the first flower license until I get the diamonds, but it really sucks that one of the main quests now requires me to plant those flowers.”
“Really disappointed after today's update; it doesn't seem to be working properly. It lets you plant more than you have and doesn't go up to the full amount when all have been completed. Some of the quests are not clearing.”

The monetization strategies in the game have drawn criticism for being overly reliant on ads, requiring players to watch numerous advertisements to earn in-game currency, which detracts from the overall experience. Players express frustration over needing third-party applications to obtain necessary resources, indicating poor game design. While the game is not excessively spammy with ads, the frequency of ad interruptions during gameplay is still a significant concern.
“To be fair, it's not ad spamming.”
“The monetization model is fair and doesn't disrupt gameplay.”
“I appreciate that the game offers optional purchases without forcing them on players.”
“Monetization strategies ruin an otherwise decent game. I shouldn't have to use a third-party application (e.g., Discord) to earn in-game currency that is required for a sizable part of the game; that's just silly game design.”
“Flooding with ads on start, flooding with ads on level up.”
“Watch 25 ads for diamonds?”
