The story has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the cute and funny interactions between characters, while others express disappointment over the disjointed narrative and abrupt endings. The lack of cohesion between the main game and DLC, as well as the limited development of certain routes, detracts from the overall experience for some. However, many appreciate the immersive storytelling and the emotional connection it fosters, despite some repetitive elements.
“I was reading the story with a silly smile glued to my face from the very start till the end.”
“But the visual part feels so perfect for the story, they really complement each other in an ideal way.”
“It was a very funny story partly because the main character didn't know anything and also how our love interests fought for the main character.”
“I'm putting a no for this review simply because the main game and DLC are different stories. I bought the DLC as well, and now I can't play the main story from when they were in high school. Every time I load up the game, it loads the DLC version 'Prince or Villain,' which is set when they are adults.”
“I'm quite disappointed because I wanted to be able to play the main story and see how the relationship developed in the first place without the small details you get from the DLC.”
“What I got was a rushed story with strange scene placement and abrupt endings.”
