This game is flat out incomplete as of this review on 09/02/2024. I am giving this game a tentative thumbs up because of the overall writing, the characters, and the questions it can give the thinking players ask of themselves. If you can read Chinese, I absolutely can recommend the game despite its current incomplete status.

Please note the game does not have English localization right now nor am I aware of plans for English localization, but I am capable of reading about 80-90% of the game text as-is.

From what I can tell, the devs released this as "complete" only with the default main heroine's story line complete. All other heroines' story lines and side events are to be added in future updates after the game is/was shipped.
As of now, only 3 out of 8 or 9 heroines have their stories completed. There was also a big drama that happened with the developers rewriting significant part of the game, which led to an apology and another promise. Disclosure: I have never played the game before the rewrite and I only bought after the fact.

As it is, the game absolutely needs an option to reduce or remove the RNG-based events involving death after the first 2-3 playthroughs. S/L scumming is required when you click into wood-gathering or onsen dipping... only to have that dice roll troll you as your character slipped and fell down the cliff or drowned after hitting their head on the wood fence. Literally an extra 10-15 seconds of returning to the title screen and loading the game again for no other reason other than to piss the player off after the first time. /facepalm.

Yes I laughed the first time I died from a bad dice roll, but when it happens 5 times in a row after S/L ... well, you get the picture. The RNG can be/is a sour point, especially as some story events require certain RNG event(s) to occur multiple times. /facepalm As others and my suggestion goes - need to give the players the option to choose after a few playthroughs, otherwise it is resorting to sketchy tools and trainers to bypass it.

Combat is... OK? It gets very tedious after 2 or 3 playthoughs. There should be another option to hide/toggle animations or skip combat together in a casual or unlocking a "reading mode" after the few playthroughs. I much prefer reading the story and consequences of different actions after going through the game twice - and there is a lot of reading.

tl;dr.
Give us a reading mode option or support DLC. I love the stories written so far and I'd prefer not going through more grind just to read it. I don't want to watch youtube videos or visit other ads-infested websites.

I can't turn the game off until I see an ending.
Even then, I start another run so that I can see a different ending.

Weekends just melt away, and I haven't had felt this much immersed into a game in years.

All I can say is that the storytelling is fantastic and the characters are amazing.
I can't elaborate because I don't want to spoil the best part, but trust us.

Get the game, do the first run completely blind, don't read anything online or anywhere, just do it until you hit some sort of an ending. Once you've done that, you've past the point of no return.

我鲜少给留言，但这游戏不给对不起我自己。

整体上来说算是合格的，故事内容和文案基本上盖过了游戏整体上的缺陷。大部分的优缺点和其他玩家的反馈一样，简短地来说就是恶趣味的游戏开发者在一周目的时候让你死的不甘心，然后重玩多周目。

故事内容非常地丰富，即使我照着攻略走但触发的事件有点不一样，不同的选项也会给你意想不到的惊喜。

但我真的累了。我应该是玩了四周目。还要重复差不多一样的剧情，做回同样的事，我真的没法玩下去了。如果有大量的内容补充的话也许我会继续玩下去。

期待下一次的游戏。

死了妈的畜生ea当正式版卖，连续这么长时间都是小补丁，狗篮子玩意，这差评该你的，玩家就是太善良宽容让你们这俩畜生这么玩文字游戏一拖再拖

무협지의 느낌이 나서 재미가 있습니다.

갓-겜

This game is a new wuxia experience for me. The closer to the end of the game, the more I like the main character. Hope the dev complete the game and release DLC.

Game đỉnh vl.

Fantastic game though only Chinese version is available. Good story with great script writing, which enabled immersive experience. Thanks Obb Studio for making this game. Hopefully some lines that are not available now can be complete soon.

Already looking forward to your next work.

故事和文笔是我读过最好的武侠故事！
找回了12岁时读金庸的感觉
初中的时候一遍一遍得读射雕三部曲，如痴如醉
如今玩活侠传，就是那个感觉！
