The story is criticized for its lack of engaging plot progression and character development, often feeling dull and disjointed despite its lengthy narrative. While it attempts to explore themes of relationships and environmental conservation, it ultimately fails to deliver a compelling or cohesive experience, leaving players unfulfilled and uninterested in a potential sequel. Overall, the narrative is seen as a missed opportunity, overshadowed by confusing storytelling and bland characters.
“The story is actually focused, whether intended by the author or not, on the new and old relationships the main character faces as they return to the town they spent their childhood in and its forest.”
“I went into this expecting a not-very-magical story about saving the forest you live in as a witch, and your life in your old, small hometown, but even then I am quite baffled by how boring and confusing this turned out.”
“The concept is great, and I was hoping for something a bit like Psy High, but instead I got 'airheaded teen moves to small town, wanders around without purpose.'”
“There's not much plot progression, and it seems to be left at a point for a sequel - yet it fails to grab you enough to desire that sequel.”
“I completed the story, all the way through, but most of the time I found myself skipping through multiple paragraphs of text at a time.”
“The characters have very little presence in the story to the point where—believe me when I say—that my grandma unironically has more presence than half of the cast, and she's already dead.”
