What players say

Players are split on this live-action narrative game. Many praise the ambitious rags-to-riches story and its mix of school, business, and romance, but far more criticize the male lead's stiff acting, poor translation, and choices that don't affect the main plot. Complaints about forced cryptocurrency, awkward UI, and weak script are common.
