The story of "Welcome to Chichester OVN 3" is described as mediocre and somewhat confusing, particularly for newcomers unfamiliar with the series, as it heavily relies on prior knowledge of characters and events. While it features multiple endings and some engaging elements like a murder investigation, the overall narrative lacks depth and visual appeal, leaving many players feeling underwhelmed. Despite some entertaining moments and a slight increase in story volume compared to previous installments, the reliance on crude humor and a short runtime may not satisfy all players.
- “I was streaming this game the other day, and I have to say the story really got me intrigued; I will definitely look into the other chapters.”
- “Familiar players of this series will once more get to enjoy the innuendos spattered between a mysterious plot that leads to solving a locked room murder alongside multi-choice decisions giving alternative epilogues and, to add 'room for thought', a few hidden extras to uncover.”
- “The third and final side story to the *Welcome to Chichester* series takes a marked turn from its predecessors in the sense that the story volume has been increased greatly, with the emphasis on corny humor somewhat toned down; although this is not to suggest that we suddenly have a serious, slice-of-life tale.”
- “It is heavily recommended to play previous parts in order to know the story and the characters' backgrounds.”
- “The story presents itself as a mediocre series of events, even with multiple epilogues.”
- “The story and character relationships will be confusing to the point of being off-putting for anybody who has zero familiarity with the series.”

Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books tedious, likening the experience to a frustratingly slow reading process where each sentence requires a click to advance, detracting from the enjoyment of the narrative.

Imagine the best novel you ever read, be it 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' or '2001: A Space Odyssey' or 'Twilight' (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”

- “I found myself spending hours on grinding without any real sense of progress, which made the experience frustrating.”
