The game's story is described as cute and enjoyable, but ultimately linear and predictable, relying heavily on galgame clichés. Players progress through the narrative by unlocking new content automatically, though some have experienced crashes during cut scenes, particularly when playing in English. Overall, while the characters are likable, the story lacks uniqueness and depth, making it less compelling for those seeking a rich narrative experience.
“If that is the case, the story progresses and new buildings and/or spells get unlocked.”
“Well, I was liking the story until I reached the end; it's not unique, it's fun and has nice characters.”
“The story is okay: not too bad, but built entirely out of galgame clichés and therefore mostly predictable.”
“The story is completely linear; there are no choices to make or different paths to follow.”
“Oh, and don’t buy it for the story and/or the CGs alone: there’s not much of it and you’ll find nothing you haven’t seen before.”
“Finally figure out where in the story the bug is, is after completing 'Forest of Dark Elf'; the next part of the tale just crashes the game.”

The humor in the game primarily stems from its poor translation, which unintentionally provides amusement through its absurdity. However, this aspect may not appeal to everyone, as it can be more painful than entertaining for some players.
“It's one of those translations that is just so bad it's funny, and will give a little unintended amusement for a while.”
“Just stay away from this unless you like pain and funny censorship.”
