The "story" aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with users praising the engaging plots, character development, and the impact of choices on the storyline. Many players express a strong emotional connection to the narratives, particularly highlighting favorites like "Heaven's Secret," "Dracula: A Love Story," and "Moonborn." However, there are significant frustrations regarding the lengthy wait times for new episodes, with some stories remaining in development for months, which can lead to a loss of interest and continuity in the narrative. Additionally, the high cost of diamond choices is a common complaint, as it often restricts players from fully exploring the story's potential.
“From the stories I've read so far, the plot is engaging, and I like the points systems based on what you've chosen and how it impacts the story and later scenes.”
“I really liked the story I chose; the effort put into the storyline and characters is apparent and appreciated.”
“The storyline, the visuals, the music, literally everything is phenomenal.”
“But yeah, I agree with what others are saying, you have to wait months for newer episodes, and when they give a date of their release, it's late. I had to wait over a month or two past the date they said the episode would be ready. Really disappointing, hard to love and get into a story over and over every 3 months.”
“Love all the different stories, but it does take months to update chapters. Because of that, I cannot finish one story and have to keep on reading others, so I jump from one to the other and I forget and get so frustrated and annoyed that I don't want to read anymore.”
“I love this app/game, but the only story I'm really interested in playing is in a perpetual state of 'in development'.”

The monetization strategy of the game is generally viewed positively, with many players appreciating the ability to earn diamonds through watching ads and daily logins, which allows for a free-to-play experience without excessive pressure to make in-app purchases. However, players express frustration over the limited availability of ads, the low diamond rewards per ad, and the long wait times for earning in-game currency, suggesting a need for more diverse earning options and improvements in ad functionality. Overall, while the game offers a fair monetization model, players desire enhancements to make earning resources more accessible and rewarding.
“The most rational interactive game which considers and creates proper content for players who are not able to make in-app purchases.”
“Amazing game, no ads, you get diamonds after each episode.”
“It's one of the best choices games...the game creators are really not greedy for money. You have ample amount of diamonds and there are no ads until you want to watch ads for more diamonds.”
“The developers keep saying you can watch ads to get diamonds but there's no way you can watch enough to get the diamonds you need.”
“The diamonds requirements are too much, it's making me lose interest in the game; if you want to kiss someone, you have to unlock every time which is annoying and I only get 3 diamonds a whole day.”
“I used to collect rewards by watching ads but now ads are not processing; this is really very heartbreaking, I was enjoying stories ....but now how can I play if I am not able to collect rewards.”

“And the background music should change sometimes like in movies because hearing the same two songs gets annoying.”
“I've played other games like this, like Episode and others, but the storytelling is just not immersive enough, the music sometimes is repeating, no new avatars especially.”
