story38 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story of the visual novel is generally liked for its characters and romantic themes, but it suffers from significant plot gaps and underdevelopment, particularly in character interactions and narrative depth. Many reviewers noted that the plot becomes rushed and lacks coherence, especially as characters often disappear from the narrative once a specific route is chosen. While the initial premise is intriguing, it ultimately fails to deliver a satisfying and well-rounded storyline.
“Although I generally like the story and most of the characters, the plot is the weakest aspect of this visual novel.”
“However, the storyline is more focused on Reina and her love interests getting to know one another and forming a relationship rather than her position as the magic mirror and solving the love interests' problems.”
“My favorite soundtracks are 'theme song, happy' and 'romance' that really bring out the romance and fantasy themes in the story.”
“There are significant gaps in the story such as the bounty hunters being sent to recapture Reina, but they hardly make an appearance or get a brief mention except in a few specific character routes.”
“Also, after entering a character's route, nearly all the other romanceable characters disappear from the story entirely with little or no interaction between them except for a few routes.”
“The plot and character relationships felt bare-bones and in need of more development.”
