Heavily monetised.
I’ll start off by saying the art is wonderful & the writing is intriguing. I’ve played Is it Love? games on and off since I was a teenager and there is only one reason I consistently end up dropping them each time - energy.
The amount of energy you get daily gets you through the TINIEST speck of the story. I’ve seen other apps use a system where energy will fill up slowly over the course of a few hours, but that isn’t the case here. The energy is limited to just a daily refill. This feels really harsh considering how little progress you can make based off of that tiny amount of daily energy.
The energy shop has some pretty egregious prices. I’ve considered buying a little bit before, but when I think about just how little of the story it will get me through, I’m always turned off.
I’ve not played the newer Is it Love? games so I can’t say if those are the same, but Carter, Matt & Colin all have the same system and are equally as frustrating to try and play.
Please, please consider adding a way to just pay for the stories outright!
Not only would it likely be more appealing to players who wouldn’t mind paying for the games, but it could also be a way of making sure people can still play if they ever got removed from the AppStore or if servers shut down. People wouldn’t be stuck with a broken in-app purchase system, or worse, a completely accessible game.

Do not get the app
It is terrible, and nothing happened
Lag
I saw someone else with this problem I started playing and now it won’t open I try too but it doesn’t load at all-🗿
Love the book but I didn’t get my energy
I love the book so far but I purchased energy and it’s been two days I’m very disappointed.
Omg
The best app
