After taking it all out so it could just be on the Play Store, it now feels like your average cheap otome game.”

  • grinding12 mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, with many expressing frustration over the tediousness of character collection and the steep difficulty curve that necessitates significant farming.

  • monetization6 mentions

    The monetization in the game features significant microtransactions, which are notably more expensive than those in other gacha games.

    • “All I can say is this is the only reason I downloaded this is because YouTube would not shut up with the ads.”
