The game's storylines are generally well-received, with players appreciating the engaging dialogues and cute narratives that keep them invested. However, many users express frustration over the high costs of premium choices, which can hinder their ability to fully experience the story, leading to dissatisfaction when matches become unavailable after spending gems. Overall, while the storytelling aspect is enjoyable, players desire more accessible options to enhance their experience without excessive spending.
āThe story is good all in all but the cost of choices and how you can get free diamonds when you don't have money contradicts each other.ā
āIt is a storytelling game with the story told through texts between you and your potential romantic interests.ā
āThis is a cute game that gives great storylines that keeps your interest!ā
āWhat's the point of adding new characters if you can't complete the storyline from the old characters?ā
āI really like playing this game, but if some of the older storylines don't update soon, I'm going to be deleting this game.ā
āI love the gameplay and storylines, but it's unacceptable to have your matches unmatch you after you've spent gems and time on the relationship.ā

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the high costs of in-game purchases and the limited opportunities to earn gems through ads. While some appreciate the absence of frequent ads, others feel overwhelmed by the number of ads that appear after interactions, and many have noted that the ability to earn gems by watching ads has diminished or disappeared entirely after making purchases. Overall, players are calling for more balanced monetization options, including increased opportunities to earn in-game currency without spending real money.
āIn-app purchases aside, I really like this game!ā
āFrom what I've gathered so far, there are no ads to watch to get what you need to use for those choices.ā
āAn amazing game, no ads, just normal, and it's easy to find matches.ā
āI love this app, but everything literally costs hearts, and as someone who can't buy them, achievements and just ads alone aren't giving me enough to choose the options that cost.ā
āAs soon as I spent money on the game, I lost the ability to get gems for free by watching ads.ā
āIt's a complete cash grab.ā

Overall, the gameplay is described as smooth and enjoyable; however, players express frustration with the low gem output, which makes it difficult to access gem-locked choices and styles in a reasonable timeframe.
āOtherwise, the gameplay is smooth and enjoyable.ā
āThe gameplay offers a unique challenge that keeps you engaged and coming back for more.ā
āThe gem output is so low, there's no way you'd be able to make up for the loss of gems on the 'gem-locked' choices and styles in any reasonable amount of time or gameplay.ā
