The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.

“Interesting concept, but it's a bit too buggy now. I've had several crashes in a short time playing. The translations are rough, the UI is equally rough. Voices are Chinese only. Can't really recommend the game yet, but it has potential.”

“I was baited into playing mainly with "relation" part. Was a bait, nothing more. Maximum actions with NPC - her calling you "hubby" and kissing. Even with 100 relations. No nudity, even with relation at 100. Total blueballing and a waste…”
