The story of "neko-nin exheart" is a brief, light-hearted addition that primarily focuses on slice-of-life scenarios involving the main character and his ninja cat girls, particularly highlighting the side character Nachi. While it offers some charm and cute interactions, the plot is simplistic and lacks tension, with some inconsistencies noted by players. Overall, it serves as a short companion piece to the main game rather than a substantial narrative experience.
“I have always been really curious about Nachi's side of the story since she is my favorite from Neko-nin Exheart; so this short sequel is deeply appreciated.”
“A short side story to Neko-nin Exheart that follows the cat girls' older sister Nachi, the story lasts a short half hour and provides more depth into one of the side characters from the main game.”
“In this side story, Nachi does her best to assist our main character, Haruki, in developing his skills as a master to his ninja neko girls.”
“The plot is simplistic – there is no tension, just slice-of-life situations.”
“There is a plot hole here; the main character said, 'Maybe I should get a part-time job to accommodate feeding these two?' even though he had a job in the main game.”
“Overall, it maintains the standards of the main game, although honestly does nothing to advance whatever plot it is that's supposed to be going on in the background.”
