each "day" i played, they increased the ads. Within a few in-game days, i would've had to watch 22 ads to continue playing. i felt like i was being forced into paying. A depleting energy bar would've been better. After looking in the shop, i realized it would be very expensive to keep playing. Although i love the cute concept and enjoyed playing, it's not worth it.

I loved this game, the best part was the hand drawn art style. I also liked the setting and overall plot of the story of the rural setting and the mystery around the past. I still have some criticism: 1. Tea selling part was not well done, even though it's the MC's main profession. I avoided it in later parts. 2. Unlocking new areas was not rewarding enough (not many new characters/task) 3. I was unhappy with the Savi storyline end, it felt incomplete and abrupt. I want a sequel/similar story.

i love the game. so relaxing. i agree with some other comments that the day passes so quickly. Hence, when i watch ads, i can not continue the game anymore. i think there is a bug that needs fixing. It always says, "Can not connect to server." Even though i already bought many gems from the shop.
