### 2/5 — Pay to Play

*2022-10-21, version 1.0.5*

I used to play this app a few years ago and like all otome games, you had to pay to get the best options. But they had other ways for you to get coins. You could watch videos, download apps, etc and you would get a decent amount of coins. But now you can only watch ads for one coin per video, with decent items costing at least 300 coins. Sure you could buy things with the in-game currency but it seems like they took away a lot of items so there’s not much you can get. 

Plus before you got a story ticket every 4 hrs so you could continuously play. But now it’s 5 tickets once a day so players are compelled to buy tickets with real money in order to read the story at a decent pace. 

And you would think after so many years the game play would become smoother. It’s still clunky, with the background loading first and then character loading too late during the story. The stories are decent though, despite the MC being pretty boring.

### 2/5 — Mid

*2022-09-22, version 1.0.5*

I’m a new user. Recently started playing game this week. Finished a few chapters. The characters had promising results. I was really excited to play a certain characters plot/story “Byron”. Until I came also a royal challenge. To get the premium and normal dress was expensive. 1 coin per ad I could receive and I needed 300. It would take me two months just to gather up all the coins for a normal dress. This game was really promising and with all its flaws. I didn’t mind, but the price was too much. This was my first view ever and you just lost a player. I’m immediately deleting the game as I can’t play it for two months. Waiting for one chapter for two months is ridiculous.

### 4/5 — Love the game but Royal challenges......

*2022-04-30, version 1.0.5*

I love the game is just The Royal challenges I feel like they happen way too often. Like I like to save my chapter tickets for some longer presents the game. But every time I get through like two or four Of the five chapter tickets I get it automatically gives me a royal challenge and it’s really annoying. I chose the story Ravis and honestly I love it. I didn’t amazing job on making the games . But yeah that’s it!

### 4/5 — Royal challenges

*2022-04-20, version 1.0.5*

Overall this is a great game, however the royal challenges take far to long to complete. With the amount of bells and gems you receive in game, you have to wait a long time to complete the challenges; well that is without just buying gems and bells. Perhaps lowering the cost of items for royal challenges, or giving more gems and/or bells? Otherwise this game is wonderful. (I personally love Louis's path.)

### 3/5 — needs some improvements

*2021-10-06, version 1.0.5*

It has been awhile since I have played these games, but recently I have gotten back into them! I started playing ikemen sengoku and I saw so many changes since the last time I played! I downloaded midnight cinderella as well to see if there was any changes, but the last app update they had was 3 years ago 😭The game is still good, but the app is very glitchy and is really in need for a new update. I don’t know if they just stopped supporting Midnight Cinderella, but they recently released Ikemen Prince so I’m really hoping they will pick this up again!!

### 3/5 — It’s so good but…😭

*2021-07-07, version 1.0.5*

I love this game very much. I love the story, the art, everything. But, the only problem with the game is the Royal challenges… it takes up so much time and energy. It can take up to months to finish one royal challenge and then another one that will make you do even more work. Not just that the coins annoy me as well because for the first Royal challenge you need 300 coins for the premium route. And for the normal route you need around 100 coins or 3500 bells which is easier but still includes some work in it. But not just that you start off with no coins nor bells. So if you want to do the premium routes and watch ads you would have to watch like 300 ads because 1 ad is 1 coin. Honestly, if I had to change something it would obviously be the prices. You also can only get coins in the daily logins but you don’t start getting coins until around day 21??? I’m not really sure any other way unless you pay or do tasks that make you buy stuff but I’m broke and idk how else to get anything without watching ads and I’m sure you can only watch a small amount of ads a day. But I don’t wanna uninstall the game because I’m obsessed with it… so I guess I’ll wait but I cant even get passed the first Royal challenge and it’s my second day playing. But I’ll give it time.

### 3/5 — Please update!!

*2021-06-13, version 1.0.5*

I’ve played other games from the same company and the graphics and animation are absolutely stunning. I love this game and the stories but it seriously needs an upgrade, like the ones in the other games. Not only that, but please make it easier to get coins! Not everybody has the money to freely purchase coins if they want to pass a Royal Challenge. This was the reason why I stopped playing this game 4 years ago. Again, I love this game but it needs a major upgrade. Listen to your reviews!!

### 3/5 — I love this game but

*2021-04-29, version 1.0.5*

I love this game. It is so cute. I chose Louis as my story, and I’m not that far in and a Royal Challenge appeared. The problem is that I don’t have enough coins. I personally think that it is way to hard to get coins. I think that you should be able to exchange bells for coins. But if that isn’t an option, then there should be a way to get free coins by doing some task. Like in the Princess Lessons, I think you should be able to get some coins from that. And more than 1. The fact that I can watch a video to get coins is great, but only getting 1 coin is annoying. PLEASE make it easier to get coins. I think people would enjoy the game more if that happened.

### 3/5 — I wish I could get coins

*2021-03-11, version 1.0.5*

Hello, I JUST downloaded this game and I really like it however I just got to the first avatar challenge and it’s 300 coins! They never even gave me any coins to begin with when I downloaded the game and I apparently can only get 5 free coins a day! It’s only been day 1 and I really like this game but I do not want to spend the $40 to get coins I didn’t know I would need. If you could at least give me half coins or make it available to earn more coins for free this would definitely be a 5 star game.

### 3/5 — Takes forever just to complete a route!

*2020-10-17, version 1.0.5*

I'm fine with reading 5 chapters a day.
Grace challenges are also fine but...
Every time I tried to duel someone, I always get good!! I do lessons thrice a day so my grace will only add 75x3 = 225 a day. I'm really frustrated at this. In the end, many people will quit because of this. I am an otome game player and I played your other games like Ikemen Vampire, Ikemen Sengoku and Ikemen Revolution. Your other games are great! They don't have difficult princess lessons. But this game, I'm thinking of quitting it. Please make your princess lessons easier. 

Next issue I wanna address is the offline players. To increase my bells, one of the fastest way is to greet my friends everyday. However, it is so and so difficult to find a friend! This game recommends friends that are not even active!! I requested 100+ people in the game, in the end I just got 12. Please recommend people that are active!!

Everything else is fine, great story and great characters. Please just fix the difficult princess lessons and recommend active people as friends. If you do this, more people will play the game. Thank you! All the best
