Will this be EoS (end of service?) ### 4/5 — Add harem and furry!! *2025-05-07, version 8.8.1* It would be better if you add harem instead of choosing only one, and if you have more furry girls, you would have more downloads! Just add more of that and it’s easy money! ### 3/5 — Transferring *2025-05-04, version 8.8.1* When transferring my data from enter UserId, only few stories I finished or started didn’t transfer over ### 3/5 — Its good but limited *2025-02-05, version 8.8.1* First i time on one of these apps. The stories aren’t bad but you can’t continue without tickets. Which you have to wait to get or buy. So your time is limited and restricted. Most answers only have two options. Some by using Rubies. Meaning only one option if you don’t have Rubies. Which could change the way the story is play to pay and play. Tickets are expensive. If it wasn’t limited I’d keep playing. This means your player base is low if you have too much restriction and too many pay to play. They should change the strategy. ### 4/5 — Great game! *2025-01-07, version 8.8.1* It’s a very uniquely anime styled choice game. I love the tons of stories and how some have sequels. I do wish however that that there was some way to carry over the end choice of your girlfriend into the next book since it’s the sequel, however it seems the 2nd books do not have much relation to the 1st. ### 4/5 — More free gems plz *2024-12-14, version 8.8.1* Please let us get more free gems from daily logins plzzz ### 3/5 — Anibabe *2024-11-18, version 8.8.0* The game is overall very well made but my only complaint is the rubies system i get it you need money but at least give us a way to watch adds and get rubies or something, it says you can trade points to get rubies but doesnt tell you how to get them? ### 4/5 — … *2024-11-03, version 8.8.0* Can you make it so we can see the MC in the story and we can change his appearance and see how they react ### 3/5 — What’s going on? *2024-10-25* I’m loving some of these stories that get added but I’m getting annoyed at the waiting just to get something like a short 5 chapter after story about one character from an older story. I like the idea of getting to see something like that where you get something after picking someone but I hate absolutely hate that I have to wait so long for a new story to get hooked on. I hate hate hate how the costs fluctuate, one answer is 15 gens the next is 27, then 22. Pick one price point sheesh. Again my main focus is that the last several stories had a pattern, they’d come out on the 4th, 14th and 24th of each month, then last month they were on the 5, 15, 25. And this month the only thing that has come out so far is the side story from the yokai academy girls. It’s annoying having the expectations that this app was once good enough to produce good stories just about every week now has to put out a side story for every single character. Do better! ### 2/5 — A huge bug that needs to be fixed *2024-08-29, version 8.7.0* FIX THE BUG! I’VE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO RESTART CHAPTERS LIKE 3 WEEKS AGO! I’M SURE PLENTY OF OTHERS HAVE TOO! FIX IT! ### 3/5 — Bugs and overall structure *2024-06-18, version 8.6.0* I’ve been reading these stories since 2018 and I’m used to the idea of having separate ticket amounts for each story, like for 2 different stories you would have two different amount of tickets for each story. I think we should have 2 tickets per story instead of 2 tickets for all of the stories. Anyway I noticed a bug where if you decline the download for the story you lose the ticket that was spent getting in, I’m not sure if it is indeed a bug, but if it is please fix it🙏 ### 4/5 — Please Add *2024-06-10, version 8.6.0* It’s a great game but please to whoever makes these stories continue making more it’s amazing even though the tickets take to long I still like it 👍🏻 ### 2/5 — Issues *2024-05-31, version 8.6.0* The game is all buggy fix this. ### 4/5 — What I would like *2024-04-19, version 8.6.0* This game is good but the thing I hate is when you like a character and your doing something that cost diamonds you should get for free because you like that person if you don’t have enough diamonds you can’t do it I can see the voice but if you want to do something so badly like in love triangle I had to quit because I’m Tsumugi about kiss me and I did not have any diamonds so premium voice cost diamonds nothing else. ### 2/5 — The Micro-Transaction Problem. *2024-04-16* I want to declare this right here. As far as the first story I picked, I’m enjoying my time. My only problem is how the rubies system is killing any of that enjoyment and want to continue. My choice’s are lock behind a pay wall and each decision is costly, making the starter packs worthless as you waste them quick. If they decrease the cost of rubies for a choice, it wouldn’t be a problem but that’s a denial because I shouldn’t be wasting money like this and should buy a properly complete visual novel. The next part is having a ticket system that limits your reading, which I haven’t checked but wouldn’t be a surprise to see them charge you for that too. Why not go by subscription service instead? Allowing readers to play more instead of this predatory method to getting more out your customers. It’s basically triple dipping on everyone with the other method of doing things to earn gold. This is why mobile is mocked as an unequal place to gaming and until improvements, it’s just that. **Developer response:** Hello! Dear player, thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback! We have released new app version containing new features to help you acquire free tickets and rubies! We have added a daily free loot box that you can now access from the Featured Shop screen. Don't forget to collect your daily free rewards, check the achievement page, and complete daily challenges! The latest version is available on the App Store! ### 4/5 — Need *2024-04-01, version 8.5.0* Hi, you need to add more fantasy stories please ### 3/5 — Gem system 🚫 *2024-03-17, version 8.5.0* I’m glad I’m not the only one who has a problem with this. It’s honesty ridiculous how you have to pay real money to make a small choice and if you don’t have enough money or can’t afford it you have to live with the guilt of choosing the choice you didn’t want.I think anyone poor or rich can choose the choice THEY want. So please fix this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What’s going on!? *2025-05-03, version 8.8.1* It’s been a month without any updates. More than that because all the releases like Eternal Remnants 4 part series is actually stupid! And I hate seeing the second part or even 3rd part of a story like Fox and Fantasy, I want NEW! Some of these are old and boring, get creative! Don’t just add 1 story start adding like 2-3 new and different stories not 3 that are all part of the same series. I’m bored and this has become a dumb app and honestly it is extremely disappointing because I’m looking forward to a new series but I keep getting repeats and lack of effort. Do Better! ### 1/5 — Now it’s 2 tickets per chapter?! *2024-11-26, version 8.8.1* Why charging 2 tickets all of a sudden for stories? Pretty dumb thing to do ### 1/5 — Highly Disturbing *2024-09-06, version 8.7.0* I used to hold this app in high regard, but I then read the story “All That Remains,” where you, a likely 34 year old man, end up dating (and sleeping with possibly) an 18 year old girl that just graduated Highschool who you thought was your daughter a year ago. (She’s not actually.) I truly pray I’m not the only one who finds that borderline pedophilic. Needless to say, I uninstalled and will not be picking this back up. Highly disturbing. ### 1/5 — If they had a mini game or something like they do in the android version this would be a lot better *2024-05-22, version 8.6.0* Don’t get me wrong this is a great app and a good way to pass by your free time but my complaints like many are about the ruby system and I feel like it’s absurd that in this version for iOS there’s no type of mini games like android devices where you can get coins and exchange them for rubies and instead to get the rubies for premium choices you have to either put in money towards the game or complete the challenges or login daily just to get a measly few rubies at a time being that the max amount of rubies needed for these premium choices cost 30 rubies. Fix this please by either lower the cost of rubies to spend on these choices or adding a mini game to give us a chance to earn point for them ### 1/5 — Rental Girlfriend *2024-05-06, version 8.6.0* I’m very disappointed and upset. The Rental Girlfriend story is among my favorite ones to play. Celina and Zoe have their own stories. But instead of making one for Tessa, you had to put in another storyline with different girls altogether, this frustrates and discourages me beyond words. I hope that the developers see this and put in a story for Tessa because Tessa is my favorite choice for both books 1 and 2. ### 1/5 — This game could easily be 5 stars *2023-12-24, version 8.5.0* If they lowered the rubies and offered more tickets this game would be a hit this why off brand doing take spicychat.ai it’s free and you get to make your own conversation no rubies no tickets just have to wait in line which goes by fast this game can be a 5 star game but you gotta make the rubie choices a lot cheaper and more tickets ### 1/5 — You won’t be able to move it *2023-08-15, version 8.3.0* I mistakenly set this up on a secondary Apple ID and then tried to get my account moved to my primary Apple ID; but multiple emails, the most recent of which was sent in April 2023, have gone unanswered. Based on this lack of response to multiple emails, I attempted to reach out to them through social media as well; but that also went unanswered. My sincere recommendation is do not ever buy anything through the app unless you will never need to move it to a different account. The automated process doesn’t work and the vendor doesn’t reliably respond to help requests. I’ll be removing the app because the frustration has exceeded the amusement it once offered and there’s nothing encouraging any optimism of a likely remedy. ### 1/5 — A bit weird and not inclusive *2023-05-26, version 8.2.0* You can only play as a man, can’t change to ‘she’ or be a woman player. Also most of the stories are about weird relationships with young, underage women and or teachers getting with students. There are better dating sims out there. ### 1/5 — Expensive! *2023-04-17, version 8.1.0* I spent more than $20 to get through one season of one story and only take some of the answers I wanted. Also, the stories are mediocre, art is static and the romance is forced and weak. Meh… ### 1/5 — Fishing for cash *2022-12-24, version 7.2.3* It’s not about making the right choices to progress with the girls, it’s about paying for the right choices. Oh, you wanna help your love interest so her homework? 3 bucks. You wanna help her clean up after she spilled on herself? Another 3. While you can earn gems, it’s about 2 or 3 a week, when most of the choices cost anywhere from 20-30. There are other ways to make money. But needing to pay to play correctly? Paying to have fun or make the right choice? Pretty ridiculous. Should’ve just put some stories as paid, or you can pay to unlock new characters, or add a stats feature that you can pay to enhance faster. Either way, there’s better ways to monetize your app, please fix it so you don’t have to play to get fun gameplay. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 25 rubies for special questions is a bit too much *2025-04-01, version 8.8.1* The game is fun and all but 25 rubies for some questions is a bit too much. If it was 10 rubies that actually would be a lot better and it would make me want to play it more and buy more rubies. But other than that it’s a really fun game to play and I love all the stories and how interactive it is. You become the MC in a romance anime and it’s awesome! ### 5/5 — Update! *2025-01-12, version 8.8.1* It has a variety of stories and extremely beautiful girls in it. You dont want to know how many times I enjoyed each story. If you want to play this, expect to pay up. Paying doesn’t bother me much, especially if you are attached to the story. It’s now 2025 and this app never seems to amaze me. The stories have gotten much better. The daily rewards are great! Keep them coming. Thanks so much! ### 5/5 — ALLOW ALL GENDERS *2024-11-26, version 8.8.1* Hey creators I love your stories but I find it UPSETTING that the main character is expected to be male. I hope that the story main character gender will be more neutral to allow females (like me) to enjoy the story as a girls love and for others personal identity. ### 5/5 — amazing game but a lot of ideas that would be cool *2024-11-22, version 8.8.1* 1. Cheaper cost of premium choices reduce the gems required or add more ways to get gems 2. Add more choices to and different endings to each story to make them unique they mostly end around the same way 3. Add more parts to fan favourites there are so many cool stories that I can see deserved more chapters 4. Add more side characters 5. Be able to create your own character P.s The new story is a cool concept, I love how you can create your own message and actually talk to the characters 6. When I kiss one character why does the others not give a response? Love the game but need more part 2’s I have loads more ideas but need to get some sleep 😅 Keep up the great work ### 5/5 — Multiple mc’s for each girl *2024-09-08, version 8.7.0* Love a lot of the stories only thing is I wish we could get stories with multiple protags ### 5/5 — Outstanding game *2024-06-17, version 8.6.0* This game is so high quality with great storylines and I recommend to start with everything in the fan favorites because they are SOOOOO good ### 5/5 — I love it *2024-05-02, version 8.6.0* Honestly its a really good game and i even like how there is hentuckeys fried chicken and one chunk instead of kuntuckeys fried chicken and one peice 正直に言って、これは本当に良いゲームで、クンタッキーのフライドチキンとピースの代わりにヘンタッキーのフライドチキンとピースがあるのも気に入っています ### 5/5 — JJ *2024-04-26, version 8.6.0* Can you make more girl love story’s?? ### 5/5 — Love the art style of the recent title *2024-02-08, version 8.5.0* I loved the art style of the recent title that was added Madam President: She’s my boss. I don’t know why but I was able to see the difference between it and other titles, whether is it because you guys try different art styles or something else I will say that whoever designed the style the characters were design did a good job. Hopefully in the future I see more titles with the same or similar style. ### 5/5 — Legend of the animal spirits *2023-12-25, version 8.5.0* I just wanted to say whether there will be a part two of it because of the way it ended --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
