The game's story is generally praised for its uniqueness and engaging characters, offering a refreshing take on typical love stories. However, players express frustration with the progression system, which often requires spending money to advance, and the lack of meaningful choices that can impact the narrative. Despite these issues, many find the storyline enjoyable and worth experiencing, with some noting that the gameplay can become tedious due to technical problems and grinding for resources.
“Story-wise and character-wise, I think it's interesting and worth going through.”
“It's challenging and unique, and the story itself is not your average love story either, which I like most of all.”
“The storyline is a lot of fun!”
“There are barely choices at all to interact within the story and increase affections.”
“It's purely a barrier to keep you from reading the story and tempt you into spending money.”
“No free pulls without grinding for days, upgrading cards you do have is a slog, no indication where to get certain items to do so unless you click through all the levels and check, PvP is... weird and unnecessary, story is wildly inconsistent and ramps up from 0 to 100 randomly.”

The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent crashes and freezing reported by users, particularly during early stages and while navigating menus. While some players express interest in the story, the persistent bugs and lag hinder overall gameplay experience, leading to frustration and calls for urgent fixes.
“I haven't been able to progress at all because it keeps crashing on stage 1-2. It also kept crashing when I was reading the prologue at the start of the game, but I managed to get past that by skipping it. I can't skip 1-2 though; it just freezes and crashes again.”
“Interesting story, it seems, but I can't play for long before the screen freezes and I'm unable to continue unless I restart the game.”
“I like the game, but it keeps freezing and doesn't work. It will work for like 2 minutes, then it freezes. Please fix this ASAP.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and time-consuming, with many expressing frustration over the lack of free pulls and the slow upgrade process for cards. The unclear item acquisition paths and low drop rates further exacerbate the grind, leading to a perception that the gameplay is a frustrating slog. While some acknowledge that patience may yield results, the overall sentiment leans towards a need for improvements to enhance the farming experience.
“The gameplay is a boring and grindy waste of time.”

While some users appreciate the card art and likable characters, the overall experience is marred by technical issues and a lack of engaging mechanics.
“Nice card art, nice gameplay.”
“The gameplay is a boring and grindy waste of time.”
“However, the gameplay makes it less desirable to play the game.”
“Other than that, the story and gameplay are completely outmatched.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed feedback; while players appreciate the availability of in-game rewards like coins, hearts, and diamonds through daily and ad-based rewards, many express frustration over the frequency of ads and the slow refresh rates. Some users wish for an option to pay to remove ads, similar to other games, and desire improved access to resources and better drop rates to enhance gameplay. Overall, while the monetization system offers some benefits, it also presents challenges that could hinder the player experience.
“However, I wish I could pay to remove ads like in their other games.”
“Everything takes so long to refresh, and you'll spend more time watching ads to avoid using diamonds.”
“I can't watch ads here 😭. Also, please give us more access to samples so we can have better cards sooner and improve the farming experience. The drop rate is only one in an item; please make this game better, it has potential!”
