The story in this kinetic visual novel is criticized for being shallow and lacking meaningful player choices, reducing it to a mere narrative vehicle for showcasing cute characters. While some users appreciate the charm of the idol-themed setting, many feel that the overall storytelling is weak and fails to engage the player.
“Another VN game based around net idols, basic singing girls, AI, safari, G chrome, fox girl, and ninja; one very nice storyline I love.”
“You think they would try to put a somewhat decent story in here, but it's just a vapid excuse to have a couple of JPGs of the cutely drawn girls.”
“A kinetic visual novel does not have player choice implemented, meaning you will just go through the entire story without any choice.”
“First off, there are a few important things I feel like pointing out before sharing my thoughts on Space Live; this is a kinetic novel, meaning that there are no choices to make, you only read the story.”
