The story in this episode focuses on character development and the introduction of new characters, progressing the plot while minimizing fanservice. While some viewers appreciate the depth and hidden endings, others criticize the linearity and brevity of the episodes, which hampers investment in the overall narrative. Overall, the story is seen as interesting but potentially underwhelming due to its design and pacing.
“Instead of recapping events and starting the plot off, this episode focuses on introducing us to new characters and getting you excited for the next episodes.”
“It's more focused on the development of the story and the introduction of two new characters, so don't expect to see much fanservice.”
“The story is at least interesting, but it feels like it's being sold short by its own design.”
“The only thing lurking in the shadows is a lackluster story and content.”
“Most of the story choices beyond the dating only amount to two or three different lines of text before they converge on the same linear path, presumably because they can't keep track of lots of branching paths going from episode to episode.”
“The episodes are so short that playing them feels like driving in a start-and-stop traffic jam, with every episode ending before it feels like it's even started to establish anything, and it's making the story as a whole more difficult to stay invested in.”

The graphics in the game have received positive feedback, particularly for their attention to detail and additional effects, enhancing the overall visual experience. However, some users express a desire for a more substantial game format rather than the episodic approach, which they feel detracts from the full potential of the visuals. Overall, while the artwork is appreciated, there is a call for a more comprehensive presentation.
“I would liken a visual novel such as Time Tenshi to being a cake; the story and artwork are the cake proper, while things such as fan service and special effects are the frosting.”
“The one good thing I noticed from this episode was the attention to additional graphics and effects.”
