While some character motivations may feel inconsistent, the narrative is engaging, with a mix of humor, emotion, and depth, making it highly recommended by players. Overall, the story receives high ratings across various elements, including the heroine and side characters.
“The story and world have a very fairy tale kind of feel to them... and a refreshingly original fairy tale, too, not just a rehash of popular fairy tales as so often happens.”
“The story has depth and is engaging; it has moments that are funny, sad, and heartwarming.”
“I love all of the characters and the values that the story promotes.”
“There were a few annoying bits... in particular one villain really got on my nerves because his motivation for doing what he did made no sense whatsoever given his backstory.”
“Because the plot is simple and straightforward, there were no plot holes I noticed on my first playthrough. I completed Radie/Ralida’s route first, and I think his route would be better saved for a later playthrough since a lot of the heroine’s past is uncovered in it and some spoilers are in there that maybe would be best left for a later playthrough.”
“So the heroine runs into one of the members and offers them a place to stay, and the story takes off from there and she is asked to join.”
