The story in this game is widely criticized for being weak, shallow, and poorly translated, often described as a mere vehicle for adult content rather than a compelling narrative. Many reviewers note that it lacks depth, character development, and meaningful choices, with the plot often feeling like a series of disconnected sexual encounters rather than a cohesive story. While some appreciate the art and humor, the overwhelming consensus is that the story is not a significant draw for players, who are primarily interested in the adult scenes.
“Overall, the story is rather good, the texting is alright, the characters are well drawn and it really lets the otaku have some rosy fantasy... so I guess I can only recommend it haha.”
“The calibre of storytelling and illumination of the illusive human spirit provide this story with a rich tapestry of twists and turns, all of which culminate in the realization of an individual's god-given potential.”
“Good story and cute women.”
“The story feels a little weak to me; it develops too quickly, actually. It's like a doujin story in a visual novel, even the plot feels like one from a doujin, but it's not really that bad.”
“This game has a lot of good sex scenes but basically has no story; don't forget to apply the uncensored patch.”
“The story is badly translated and there's no real gameplay as none of your choices affect the story.”

The humor in the game primarily stems from its poorly executed plot and atrocious translations, which often lead to unintentionally hilarious dialogue and sound effects.

Overall, the game's humor is derived from its failures, with many recommending it for a laugh rather than for its intended content.

“In fact, the translations are so funny that I almost want to recommend this game just so you can see for yourself.”
