### 1/5 — Cant upgrade

*2026-07-02, version 1.0.1*

This game is not worth it because i have been trying to pass chapter 46 level and i am not able to upgrade any outfits do better

### 3/5 — Long time player disappointed

*2026-05-17, version 1.0.1*

Don’t get me wrong it’s an amazing game. I’ve been playing this game for about four years now. But once you reach a specific level and/or have been a loyal paying player there are plenty of things the devs have not updated or fixed. They also stopped listening to players in the discord and through their customer service. (They haven’t updated the otherworld, the Destiny chart, the prison, the court roulette, AND FASHION FEST.) Fashion fest is practically useless in some servers because the participants are less than ten and then that means no one is allowed to vote or get the gem rewards at all. It’s bs. Multiple people in my server have begged the devs to fix it and they just give us a polite yet dismissive response. They have gotten very money hungry also. Things used to be more generous and that’s why so many people were playing at the time. But that was like.. two years ago. Now all they ever focus on is recycling the same outfit sets in events and making the ingot price of game token ridiculous so you pretty much can’t get anything except one or two items from a set max after an event. I really used to be a ride or die fan of this game and had multiple friends join because I loved it so much but they all stopped playing due to how the devs have been acting with the game lately. It’s sad and disappointing. Even other members in the server have been dropping like flies because of this and everyone on the discord is upset and disappointed as well. DEVS PLEASE MAKE SOME CHANGES YOU’RE LOSING YOUR FAN BASE!

### 5/5 — OBSESSED

*2026-04-17, version 1.0.1*

I know my comment will get flooded in the sea of amazing reviews ITS LITERALLY THAT GOOD. There’s no ads and the in game purchases actually IMPROVE game play. Don’t get me started on the devs. You can tell they really poured their heart and soul into it and has been my favorite game for the last year. They put on so many events, have immersive stories and beautiful outfits. I seriously have never played anything like it for a mobile game. It’s everything I was looking for in 1 and extreamly hard to get tired of. Good job devs!😊

### 3/5 — It’s good but…

*2026-02-03, version 1.0.1*

Everything is amazing, but my only little complaint is the events. They go by so quickly, and it’s hard to obtain the event currency in the mini games or save up ingots… It makes it very difficult to get the event-exclusive outfits when you’re a non-VIP.

### 1/5 — Uninterested

*2026-01-25, version 1.0.1*

This game sucks bruh, I chose the darkest girl because it was closest to my skin which actually it was way to dark but I choose her and in the story they legit just but the whitest porcelain girl ever and painted only her face BLACK and thought oh yeah the crowds going to love this like WHATTT that’s legit just black face my guy. I would’ve rather only white options than that bud I wouldn’t have minded considering it’s a Chinese theme you wouldn’t really see anyone of my skin tone then, which is okay if the game did that more realistic I guess. Anyways game was just trash besides that and it was just like not creative and boring. Wouldn’t recommend though —-Fate of the empress is a good game anybody reading this should get it!

### 1/5 — Inaction from developers

*2026-01-23, version 1.0.1*

Despite hundreds of complaints made about some individuals electing to use racist, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist, and ableist slurs toward players, no action has been taken from the development team. They have had a while now to sort this out, and their apparent refusal to do so says enough to me that this developer does not care about the experience of its players. They have been asked time and time again to fix this and have barely acknowledged the issue. Not good enough.

### 1/5 — Bullying allowed

*2026-01-23, version 1.0.1*

I’ve got screenshots of them telling me to kill myself, I’ve got screenshots of them personally attacking me, and my family, of saying disgusting things. I’ve reported it to the App Store and others in my server have reported it to the company and they’re not doing a thing. It’s extremely disheartening and evil.

### 5/5 — Enjoyed

*2025-12-15, version 1.0.1*

Very good  , stylish looking , plotting are excellent

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2025-10-22, version 1.0.1*

The best game and beautiful artwork even the music one can get lost in as they do the story lines and make their choice which way they want to go the creators really did an amazing job

### 1/5 — Bullying allowed against neurodivergent women

*2025-08-03, version 1.0.1*

They have allowed two people to just brutally bully a lady who is Audhd. When I tried to address the situation they spent money money money, and this platform banned me for standing up to the bullying. As long as they get the money, and as long as the bullies are spending, they will shut down every other voice. This is an app that has been taken over by liberal screamers who will do anything to win, including attempts at destroying a mentally challenged persons health, joy, and peace. Which is what my sister enjoyed for 3.5 years, until one person decided she wanted to be the top winner. Are you people that desperate for money?
