The story of the visual novel is described as initially intriguing but ultimately disappointing, with many reviewers noting a lack of depth and coherence. While the unique setting and character designs received praise, the plot often feels like a mere backdrop to mundane school life, and the main narrative arc involving a villain is poorly executed. Overall, the game struggles to deliver a compelling story, leading many to recommend other visual novels with more engaging narratives.
“If you are looking for a great story with a lot of great characters and enjoyable laughs, then this is a must-buy game.”
“The story definitely catches your attention!”
“Despite having a rather unique setting, the main focus of the story was Sol and school life while the ninja aspect mostly functioned as a plot device and was only really relevant at the end of the common route and the true end.”
“It's so boring, it lacks depth, the plot is shocking, the heroine routes are all awful, and the order of events makes no sense at all.”
“I don't know if this game was rushed or had a bad budget, but the story leaves a lot to be desired.”
“The main plot line is to capture some villain called 'the bat', and you don't even do that in the main story or any heroine route. It takes a so-called true ending that you have to unlock by playing the whole game, and even then it's just, meh.”
