The game's story and quest system receive mixed reviews, with players noting that while the main quest can be enjoyable, it is often hindered by unclear objectives, lack of guidance, and time-consuming requirements. Many new players feel lost due to the absence of a map and proper quest indicators, leading to frustration with progression. Despite these issues, some players appreciate the potential of the story and the fun elements it offers, particularly for fans of the One Piece franchise.
- “To any One Piece fan, this is a must play for fun and story.”
- “The combat, story, and gameplay is nice.”
- “Despite it being still in its early stages and needing more content, the game is fast-paced from the start with PvP happening at all levels and a bunch of quests to make your experience smooth.”
- “No real plot to this game; it's a running simulator.”
- “The quest system is okay, nothing out of the ordinary, but the quests themselves are the real problem here.”
- “There is no map, and you don't know where the quests are even located, like for example with just a simple arrow to point you in the right direction.”

Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; while some find it tedious and overly repetitive, particularly at lower levels, others enjoy the challenge and consider it manageable. The lack of guidance and the necessity to kill thousands of mobs for leveling contribute to the perception that the game is excessively grindy, making it less appealing for those who dislike this aspect. Overall, grinding is a significant part of the gameplay experience, and it may deter some players.
- “Good enough, not many people playing though. Heads up, the game is a bit too grindy, as is Nin Online, the Naruto verse alternative of the same devs.”
- “This game isn't for those who don't like grinding.”
- “Killing the same mob for hours on end, literally thousands of mobs to level up, because that's going to be your main content until you can do something about the players farming the bosses.”
