The story in the game is generally considered weak and simplistic, with many reviewers noting that it lacks depth and meaningful engagement. While some players appreciate the cute art and light-hearted elements, the narrative is often described as minimalistic, with repetitive gameplay and limited character development. Overall, those seeking a rich story experience may be disappointed, although there are hints of charm in the character interactions and side quests.
- “Amazing game, I haven't finished it yet, but the story is still amazing.”
- “It's a cute dungeon crawler with a nice yuri love story tied into the real story.”
- “The writing is also quite solid - while the story is simplistic and essentially very short, it's simply fun to read.”
- “If you're hoping for much of a story you'll be disappointed, though maybe not if what you actually wanted was a lite dungeon crawler with pretty art.”
- “The story is practically nonexistent, and while the character style and art are fine, that's not nearly enough to carry this zero-effort game.”
- “This game is extremely light on story, especially past the introductory sequences, and there is only a single, very minimalistic romance arc for each of the playable classes (and all of those arcs pretty much play out by themselves, without much input on the player's part).”

Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players finding the RPG and dungeon-crawling mechanics too simplistic and burdened by unnecessary features like crafting and fishing, leading to a boring experience. Conversely, others praise the game for its solid dungeon mechanics, challenging puzzles, and balanced combat, highlighting a good sense of progression and customization. Overall, while some aspects are engaging, the gameplay may not satisfy those seeking depth or a compelling story.
- “This game has amazing gameplay and is very interesting; my rating is 88/100.”
- “The in-game spinner mechanic as well as the orb puzzles are challenging, and honestly, I probably spent a good 2 hours trying to fully solve all of the floors with their various usages of dungeon resetting and fast travel.”
- “The dungeon-crawling mechanics are solid, with a good sense of progression and customization. Some late-game items are definitely unbalanced, but generally, there's a good number of viable team compositions and tactics, with active and passive skills bound to both each character and some equippable items.”
- “The RPG/dungeon crawling mechanics are too simple, and the game has some random and unnecessary mechanics like the crafting system and the fishing minigame, which don't add to the game.”
- “The plot is okay but takes way too long to get started; the gameplay was too boring.”
- “Some mechanics are counterintuitive (such as leaving the dungeon as a way to solve puzzles), and a manual would be nice.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, described as catchy and enjoyable, enhancing the addictive and challenging nature of the dungeons. However, some players experienced issues with music stuttering during gameplay, which detracted from the overall experience.

- “The dungeons are really addictive, challenging, and the music is really good!”
- “The music is enjoyable, and the visuals are solid.”
- “The music is catchy enough for you not to want to kill yourself after 8 floors, thank goodness. But until you're on floor 8, you never want to go places, craft, or cook because they all take time, time which you're not sure you have because the game has no reference to how much you are going to earn in the next part of the dungeon, and the game is all about paying off a debt.”
- “The music also stuttered out for me every time I took a step in the dungeon, leading me to become very familiar with about the first second or two of the dungeon theme.”
- “The rest of the music is serviceable, and the battle theme is honestly good.”

The grinding aspect of the game is noted to be somewhat tedious, particularly in the later stages where players may find themselves farming for extended periods.

- “The dungeon is also fairly short; you can easily get to the last floor and be bored farming there for days before the storyline's end.”
- “I had hit a wall in terms of enemy difficulty and was going to do some grinding later, but when I quit the game another patch downloaded which adjusted experience gain to be higher to compensate for the overall lower number of encounters.”
- “So.... cute anime girls with no male main character lead, in an RPG dungeon grinding game?”
