The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to frequent issues with ad loading and rewards not being granted after watching ads. Players find the gem costs for choices to be high, and the limited opportunities to earn gems through ads make the game feel less free-to-play friendly. While some appreciate the potential to earn gems through daily logins and ads, the overall experience is marred by technical problems and a reliance on ads that detracts from gameplay.
“Visuals do not disappoint; however, in-game purchases are quite pricey.”
“You will see more ads than you will gameplay.”
“This is why I hate free visual novels; free outside, full of microtransactions inside. Heck, even you need to watch ads to receive daily sign-ins.”
“The game seemed nice at first, but I don't think it's very free-to-play friendly. Most of the choices need gems (especially the ones that boost affection points), and it isn't very easy to earn enough gems to afford these choices, even with the use of ads.”
