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 coherent structure, some reviewers noted that it lacks depth in its mystery and action components, leaving the ending open for a potential sequel. Overall, it is praised for its captivating writing and character dynamics, though it may feel incomplete without prior knowledge of the first installment.
“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.”
“To conclude, a pretty good continuation of the Sakura MMO series but focused more on story than romance this time.”
“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.”
