The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players noting its brevity and lack of meaningful choices, often describing it as generic and filled with plot holes. While some appreciate the dialogue and character interactions, others criticize the absence of mature content and the overall execution, leading to disappointment regarding its potential. Updates have been promised, but many feel the narrative still falls short of expectations, leaving them unsatisfied with the experience.
“The dialogue and story are great, but there is no nudity or H-scenes.”
“It has a nice and fun story.”
“10/10 great story.”
“Sadly the story is short (about an hour), and you don't have the ability to make decisions.”
“It sounded good when I read about it, but it really doesn't deliver what it says. The story is okay, but some of the dialogue seems to go on forever even when it doesn't need to. You really have no control over the story whatsoever, the so-called 'mature content' is as mature as a middle schooler, bikinis are not nudity, and it's 'cum' not 'come'. To top it off, you give us a 'to be continued'—did you not finish the game or something?”
“I had high hopes for this game, but alas it has a terrible storyline and even worse writing skills.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with some players finding it intentionally funny while others describe it as unintentionally hilarious due to poor writing and translation issues. While some jokes land well and provide amusement, many criticize the overall comedic quality as low, with a focus on absurdity rather than romance. Despite its flaws, a few moments stand out as genuinely entertaining, making it a worthwhile experience for some players.
“But I have to say this game is super unintentionally funny. I don't know if it was lost in translation or incompetent writing, but it has some of the funniest interactions I've ever seen in a game. It's unintentionally funny but still super humorous, which gave me a couple of laughs, and I'd say it was definitely worth the entire Dogecoin I spent on this.”
“The beginning of this visual novel was funny and amusing!”
“This visual novel can be potentially disturbing (assuming you're not into incest) and the grammar is a bit off, but it's fairly cheap, short (I finished it in under an hour), and it does have a few fairly funny moments in it.”
“A flat, insane story that is totally unfunny, featuring stupid low-level conversations with the only goal of everyone being foolish, culminating in a dumb ending.”
“The humor falls completely flat, relying on tired clichés and juvenile jokes that fail to elicit any genuine laughter.”
“Attempts at humor feel forced and awkward, making the experience more cringeworthy than entertaining.”
