The story of "Sakura MMO 2" is a direct continuation of its predecessor, featuring familiar characters and a blend of yuri elements and adventure quests. While the narrative is engaging and offers a captivating mix of mystery and humor, some reviewers noted that it lacks depth in certain areas and ends on a cliffhanger, suggesting a sequel is likely. Overall, it is praised for its coherent storytelling and enjoyable character interactions, though it may not fully satisfy those seeking a standalone experience.
“The storyline itself is good, being stuck in a video game and unsure of going back home or staying.”
“The story is very captivating, and the writing isn't your usual garbage hentai writing.”
“This instalment of this mini-series can be roughly split into two story arcs with yuri in the background.”
“Much better than this one... going through the story normally is just... literally nothing.”
“Sadly, there is only one quest involving a mystery, and only one actual fight scene, and they were over too quickly to have any impact on recognizing this visual novel as something more than just a comedy visual novel with fan service.”
“The main quest was sadly a bit foreseeable; I guessed the main points of the plot when the quest was just starting.”
