The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads players are required to watch to progress. Many users express frustration over the monthly subscription model for ad removal, which they feel should be a one-time purchase instead. While some appreciate the free rewards available through ads, the sheer volume and length of ads, combined with technical issues like failed ad rewards and purchase errors, have led to a negative impact on the overall gaming experience.
“If you're willing to pay $7 a month for no ads, the game isn't bad.”
“I'm in the top 30 players in my server and I haven't done much to get here other than buy the no ads pack, so that's pretty cool.”
“The game is very entertaining but the monetization is so annoying that they will force you to buy their 28-day subscription just to remove their ads.”
“The monetization ruined the game, especially the ad removal that is a monthly subscription.”
“You need to watch like 30 ads a day to get the best out of it, which is just too much.”
“The game has potential, but the monetization ruined it; specifically, the ad removal should be a one-time purchase.”

However, there are significant concerns regarding optimization, as players report overheating devices and inconsistent frame rates, which detracts from the overall experience.

“The graphics, design, and overall ideas are amazing.”
“Beautiful and cute graphics.”
“Great graphics, gameplay is so smooth, and the characters are amazing.”

“But the art style... it's a total turn off for me... especially the tiny eyes, no mouth and chibi body proportions... what a shame...”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be frustrating and time-consuming, with many expressing dissatisfaction over the slow leveling process and the excessive ads required for resource farming. While the game offers generous rewards and easy farming mechanics, the need to grind for resources and the issues with AFK farming detract from the overall experience, leading to a mixed reception. Some players enjoy the idle gameplay but feel that the grind can become overwhelming, especially for those who invest significant time into the game.
“But grinding back from previous stages for the chest is frustrating.”
“It's annoying especially when you do online farming essence, because the game will automatically become offline and we wasted our time, battery, and internet when this happened.”
“Really bad experience for players who grind and spend lots of time on this game.”
