The monetization model of the game primarily revolves around watching ads to earn points, which can be used to unlock various items and features. While players appreciate the option to avoid real-money purchases by watching ads, many express frustration over the excessive number of ads required to accumulate enough points for desired items, as well as issues with points not registering correctly after watching ads. Overall, the system is seen as a mixed bag, offering a free-to-play experience but demanding significant time investment to unlock content.
“Although it does have in-app purchases, the items are really cheap (from $0.99 to $1.99).”
“It doesn't force you on in-app purchases like most apps.”
“In-app purchases are worth the money and truly enhance your capability and experience in the game.”
“You can only get 1 purchase with free ad currency and then you must pay with real money (you can still collect currency (?) but it is useless.) I don't mind watching a bunch of ads to unlock new items but if I am not informed that I only get one item free, especially if the items are of different values and I could have gotten a more expensive item free.”
“I watched a bunch of ads and got 'points' I couldn't use.”
“It's a nice game, I like that instead of paying you could watch ads, and get a lot of points from it, but there needs to be brown skin colors, I've had to use that grey color for my dark colored characters and it doesn't look right.”

The graphics in the game are widely praised for their beauty and variety, with many users highlighting the impressive art styles and customization options available. However, there are notable concerns regarding the limited skin tone choices, particularly for darker shades, which some players feel detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game's visuals are considered a strong point, contributing to an enjoyable character creation process.
“The graphics are stellar and the amount of options for customization are almost endless.”
“The art style is perfect and the game itself has mesmerized me with all of the different customizations.”
“The graphics are clean and the art is really perfect!”
“The game is lacking in tan, brown, black skin tone choices (on some art style versions).”
“My only problem is that one of the art styles has no dark skin tones, but it would be a 5 stars if it wasn't for that.”
“I understand that the demographic for these types of games are Caucasian, but please add more darker skin tones.”

Overall, users report mixed experiences regarding stability, with some praising the game for having no glitches and smooth performance, while others frequently encounter freezing issues, particularly during startup and gameplay. Many players noted that the game occasionally crashes or lags, especially when exiting and re-entering the app. Despite these stability concerns, the game's enjoyable features and design often overshadow the technical problems for some users.
“There are no glitches, and a lot of these games are laggy, but this one is perfect!”
“Very interesting; it is similar to Gacha Life, except you don't have a lot of options. Other than that, it hasn't given any problems—no glitches, nothing.”
“It gets to 82-92%, and then it just freezes.”
“It freezes at 80 something or 98 and just crashes.”
“I love this game and honestly I used to play it like 2 or 3 years ago but now that I downloaded it again the game no longer works; it freezes once you hit the play button. I do wish you guys can fix this.”

Users appreciate the app for its character creation features, which aid in visualizing and developing stories, particularly for original characters (OCs) in various genres, including BL and GL. However, some express disappointment that the app does not allow for direct story creation, limiting its utility for storytelling despite its character-building capabilities. Overall, it serves as a fun tool for character design but falls short in facilitating complete narrative development.
“I have made over 50 characters with this app so far; it's helping me build the story and picturing what my characters look like. I've been using this app for around 2 years.”
“This is a very good game; I can create a BL story or a GL story.”
“This is a fun way to pass the time and create characters for a story.”
“The reason I gave this app a 4 is because I really thought I could create stories on here and create characters.”
“I like the app, but I would like the game to let you create your story with the characters. I know there’s a problem doing it due to needing money, so I don’t recommend playing this when you get excited; only play it when you're bored. Be careful what game you choose!”
“It kind of helps to make characters for a story or something like that.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating the option to watch ads for rewards without interruptions during play. However, some users express a desire for more clothing variety and interactive mechanics to enhance the experience further. Overall, the gameplay is enjoyable, but improvements in customization options could attract more players.
“The design of the gameplay allows you to choose to watch an ad for points, and it doesn't force you to watch ads against your will.”
“I love how you can watch ads to get rewards, but there are no ads interrupting the gameplay.”
“This game has cool gameplay.”
“Though I do wish that there was a greater variety in clothes to choose from and more interactive game mechanics; taking away a star or two for not having what I want would simply be selfish.”
“I know that'll take a while, but it would improve gameplay, get more attraction, and I would be willing to pay money here.”
“I love how you can watch ads to get stuff, but there are no ads in between to stop gameplay.”

Users find the grinding aspect of the game, particularly the need to watch ads to earn points for unlocking content, to be off-putting, especially for adults with limited time. While the game is considered cute and enjoyable, the ad-grinding mechanic detracts from the overall experience for some players.
“It's cute and one of the better apps I've seen, but the ad-grinding for points to unlock everything isn't for me, or probably most normal adults.”
“I like character builders for my dissociative identity disorder and for my writing, and I simply don't have time for the ad-grinding.”
