The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, allowing players to earn diamonds by watching them, but many users find the frequency and length of ads excessive and disruptive to gameplay. While some appreciate the opportunity to earn diamonds through ads, they express frustration over the low rewards and technical issues that prevent them from receiving diamonds after watching. Overall, the balance between ad-based rewards and in-app purchases is a common point of contention, with many players wishing for more generous diamond rewards or alternative earning methods.
“It's an amazing game; no ads unless you choose to have an ad, and it's so fun! I really love it, and I bet you will too.”
“I like this app; it does have in-app purchases, but it gives you more than enough chances to collect diamonds without paying!”
“This game is nice, and there are no ads. I love this app.”
“The game is great, but every choice in chapters requires diamonds, and it's not easy to get them because you need to watch ads to earn just one diamond. That's why it's only 3 stars.”
“You have to watch a lot of ads to get enough gems for special routes, which is normal for these types of games, but it admittedly gets annoying.”
“I used to love this app, but now I don't because it won't give me the diamonds that I actually watched ads for, and it's really slow.”

“Fun to play and pretty character designs.”

We had a cute Jason with blond hair, and now we have a brown-haired Jason who's ugly, especially since the first chapter begins with the main character describing his love interest (Jason) as blond.”
