The story is appreciated by dedicated fans of the source material, as it reflects the challenging nature of the original manhwa and novel, emphasizing the need for skill and perseverance. However, players express frustration with farm bots hindering new players' progress in story modes and quests, alongside technical issues that disrupt gameplay. Overall, while the narrative aligns well with its roots, the experience is marred by external factors affecting player advancement.
“Only the true fan of MLS will appreciate this game because this is how it is supposed to be, not like any other MMORPG where you can easily get what you want. It is supposed to be hard, like in the manhwa and obviously in the novel. The grind is necessary to be good in the game. My only complaint is the farm bots at low-level maps; they make it harder for new players to advance, especially in story modes and some quests.”
“Gameplay is good, but the problem is that the app always force quits when you enter a new map and quest boss. Every time you enter and load, it always quits.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious, often feeling it is compounded by pay-to-win mechanics and microtransactions. The lack of essential resources like mana potions and auto-farming options, combined with low drop rates and repetitive questing, contributes to a frustrating experience, particularly for melee classes facing challenges from ranged opponents.
“Mainly pay-to-win, too many microtransactions, grindy gameplay, melee classes get outperformed by ranged classes, and equipment can get destroyed.”
“It's ridiculous that there are no mana potions and no auto-farming for ore, and the drop rate for items is almost only 5%.”
“Taking quests, grinding, taking quests, grinding, taking quests, grinding, repeat.”
