What players say

Players praise the deep historical setting and character-driven story, but note that romance takes a backseat to plot, making it feel more like a historical drama than an otome. The female protagonist is often described as passive or a bystander, and the common route can feel slow. Players recommend following a guide to avoid wasted time.
