The story is criticized for its generic JRPG dialogue and tedious resource collection mechanics, leading to a disjointed and unengaging narrative experience. Additionally, the overall presentation suffers from poor animations, blurry visuals, and subpar audio quality, further detracting from the storytelling.
“The story is filled with asinine dialogue where characters just keep rambling generic JRPG lines and won't stop talking. The tycoon elements are equally frustrating, with characters spending hours collecting resources like one log, which apparently counts as many logs, or one fish. The overall experience is marred by garbage mobile animations and blurry visuals designed for 720p but scaled up, along with awful music and sound effects.”
“The narrative is a convoluted mess, lacking any real depth or engagement. Characters feel one-dimensional, and their interactions are painfully generic, making it hard to care about their journeys.”
“The story fails to captivate, relying on tired tropes and predictable plot twists. It feels like a chore to progress, as the dialogue drags on without adding any meaningful context or excitement.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including a frequently unresponsive user interface and various glitches that necessitate multiple restarts. Overall, these problems hinder the user experience and usability.
