The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it predictable and lacking originality, while others appreciate its depth and engagement, particularly in the context of character interactions and the protagonist's unique ability to communicate with monsters. Despite some criticism regarding the pacing and combat frequency, many players found the narrative compelling enough to keep them invested in the game.
“The story is good.”

“Monster Viator tells the story of Culter, who has the ability to communicate with monsters.”
“The story has nothing new to offer.”
“[*][-] predictable storyline”
“If the enemy encounter rate was half what it is and they simply doubled XP gained, this would actually be a good game with a lot of combat depth and an okay story, but man, fights every 10 seconds that last 1 turn, but still have bosses that can kick your arse is just not fun at all.”

Players note that grinding is a significant aspect of the game, necessary not only for leveling up stats but also for accumulating currency to enhance items. While the gameplay is generally enjoyable, it involves repetitive quests and extensive grinding, which may deter some players.
“That means you must do extreme grinding, not only for raising your stats but also for gaining enough money to strengthen your items.”

The music in the game is highly praised for its impressive quality, enhancing the overall experience as players embark on their adventure with monster friends. It serves as an engaging background element, making it suitable for grinding levels while enjoying other media.
“You start your adventure with your monster friends, but soon you will meet Aira, a shepherd who tames monsters with her music.”
“The music, in particular, is quite impressive.”
“Most battles can be beaten in auto, so it's a good background game if you want to grind out some levels while listening to music or watching a show.”
