The story in this game is largely criticized for being unoriginal and lacking depth, often described as a generic "chosen one" or "prophecy" narrative. Many players feel that the automated questing system detracts from player engagement, making the storyline feel forgettable and repetitive.

“The ad I saw provided a gift code where it said you get 3 rare pets and 50 free summons... and guess what, the ad lied... so it's an uninstall from me. It's a childish game with basic graphics and fake advertisements that just show how rubbish the game is.”

Players express significant frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, citing a lack of rewards for the time invested and high costs for in-game items, which leads to a tedious experience. While some appreciate the ease of auto-farming, the overall sentiment is that the grind feels excessive and unbalanced, detracting from the enjoyment of the game.
“Gave a well-deserved 1 star. If the cons didn't outweigh the pros twofold, I'd happily give 4 to 5 stars. The server quit due to how little you get back from doing everything, and how expensive stuff is in-game. It's not even a 'play longer to get rewarded' thing; you can get a max of 10 to 12k pearls daily, while skill books cost 40k to 50k, even double that. It's so illogical and very tedious. I would give 3 stars, but the cons are just too overwhelming; I can't go higher than 1.”
“It's an okay game, but the rewards don't match what the game claims. It's a bit grindy, and there are a lot of top-up ads throughout the game.”
“Great time wasted; now back to grinding.”
