    • “The gameplay is grindy and boring.”

  • grinding
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and repetitive, often requiring numerous battles to progress the story, which detracts from the overall experience. Many reviewers express frustration over the lack of auto-play features and shortcuts for farming materials, making the grind feel even more burdensome. While some appreciate the game's potential and story, the grinding mechanics are seen as a significant drawback that needs improvement.

    • “On top of that, there is an insane amount of battling that separates you from new story chapters ☹️ and with how bland the battles tend to be, it feels repetitive and grindy.”
    • “Battles are extremely repetitive and unengaging, there are countless bugs and errors and game crashes, grinding becomes the main part of the game once you get to a certain point, and the game just feels incomplete.”
    • “The gameplay is grindy and boring.”
  • character development
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the character development in the game is highlighted by stunning character designs and diverse personalities, which many players appreciate. However, there are significant criticisms regarding the depth of character development, particularly for the protagonist, with some players feeling that the storyline lacks meaningful choices and suffers from repetitive gameplay. While the art and voice acting are praised, the narrative's execution and character interactions leave room for improvement.

    • “The art and character designs are very pretty, unique, and the story is interesting too.”

    • “Very bad character development, especially the protagonist, too many battles, very slow story flow, dull plot, boring h scenes and a lot of bugs.”
    • “The character designs are really pretty and there's even the option to choose your gender, but there are a couple of things I think the game lacks: 1 - in the story despite picking male and the dialogue using the title 'Mr.', she/her pronouns are used and the user is referred to as a woman multiple times 2 - in the scenes so far, we don't get any choices in our sexual position.”
    • “Despite all the numerous bugs, ruthlessness to free-to-play players, and shortcomings of the developers, I could have tolerated it because of the character design.”
  • monetization
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many users labeling it a "cash grab" due to high prices for microtransactions and a frustrating gacha system that limits character acquisition. Players report excessive and unskippable ads, alongside a lack of in-game currency options, making it difficult to progress without spending real money. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as greedy and detrimental to the gaming experience.

    • “It seems the only thing that works well is the in-game purchases, of course!”
    • “It's like having 5, 5-minute-long, unskippable ads in a row!”
    • “It turned into a true cash grab; first they got rid of pancakes (an in-game currency easy and free to obtain) making it almost impossible to actually roll for characters because keys are unobtainable otherwise.”
    • “The gacha is a massive cash grab.”
  • optimization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many users reporting frequent bugs, crashes, and poor performance, particularly on low-end devices. While some players have experienced smooth gameplay, the consensus is that the game requires substantial improvements to its optimization to fully realize its potential.

    • “The game runs smoothly without any bugs and the voice acting is just chef's kiss.”
    • “It should be required to add a low performance option next time so low-end devices could be able to play the game properly like everyone else.”
    • “Love the game so far, Prettybusy does not cease to amaze me with their otomes, but the game itself has significant optimization issues.”
    • “2/5 performance: bugs, bugs everywhere.”
    • “Game has been out too long to have constant issues and bad optimization.”
    • “This game has so much potential but it's not optimized.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is praised as a significant artistic element, contributing to its overall appeal. However, several users report technical issues, including instances where the music fails to play or is absent entirely, particularly when restarting the game. These bugs detract from the experience, overshadowing the otherwise commendable musical composition.

    • “Even with all the mistakes, wihib is really a work of art, music, illustration, story line.”
    • “The game is good, though it's quite buggy sometimes. For example, when I return home and open the game again, the music is gone.”
    • “Was excited to play, but when I open the game, all it displays is a black screen with no music or anything.”
    • “I really wanted to play this game, but when I go into it, I only see a black screen with no music, no texts, nothing—just a black screen.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
