The monetization of "Niflhel's Fables: The Book of G-ypsies" is heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users labeling it as an incomplete and abandoned project that relies on asset flipping and copying existing game templates. The developers' history of similar practices, combined with suspiciously coordinated fake reviews, further cements the perception of this title as a scam rather than a legitimate product. The $9 price tag is seen as laughable given the quality and authenticity of the content.
- “Niflhel's Fables: The Book of G-ypsies is an incomplete and abandoned, half-finished e-book that's been dumped on Steam as a cash grab by Russian scammers and asset flippers.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam and cash grab.”
- “The status of this thing as nothing but an asset/template flip/cash grab is cemented by the developers' prior history of asset flip/construction kit copy-and-paste jobs, the fake/compromised Steam accounts they used to write fake reviews, and the laughable $9 USD price tag for this garbage.”

The story aspect of the game is noted for its engaging narrative that immerses players in country life, though some users express a desire for more continuity and clarity in the storyline.
- “Great opportunity to dive into country life with an interesting story.”

The gameplay of this visual/interactive novel is criticized for being minimal, primarily consisting of clicking through poorly written dialogue that detracts from the overall experience. Many users question how such subpar writing made it to publication on platforms like Steam.
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which answers the question, 'How did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
grinding

100%
Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books tedious, likening it to a frustrating experience where the narrative unfolds slowly, requiring constant clicking to progress rather than allowing for a more fluid reading experience.
- “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best. Imagine the best novel you ever read, be it 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' or '2001: A Space Odyssey' or 'Twilight' (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
