What players say

Players split on this otome. Many call the story poorly written and say the male leads appear as floating orbs during most of the day, with bedroom scenes that either black out or repeat one CG. Fans of forced romance and dark themes find it appealing after installing the patch, but others say the text reads like a machine translation and the pacing is tedious.
