Ahaha, I've been playing this game for a long time and yet I haven't left a review yet. Silly me. Well, here's my review.

Short Version: The primary strength of this game is Story. If you primarily want a game with amazing story and characters, like Magia Record, than this game is for you. Highly recommended. HOWEVER, if you want something else, PVP, Co-op, Guild Wars, etc, then I suggest to look for other games.

Now, on to the pros and cons.

Pros:
+ Amazing Story, and plenty of them. Even the small stories from each girl are worth the read. Almost on par as Magia Record and Countersside. Play this game at your own pace
+ Live2D Lobby, always a plus. But not interactive, it's simply a "CG Replay". You can pat/rub their head though
+ VAs and Music are on point
+ Modern Nexon. Some might disagree, but for me, they're a lot better now. Good communication, managed to secure Miku Collab (there was doubt due to licensing agreement), good rewards along with Road Map publication
+ Good amount of QOL

Cons:
- STRICTLY for story enjoyer only. Don't even think about PVP. PVP is heavy on meta. Without using meta units, defeat is inevitable
- Other PVE contents (ex. Raids) requires you to build lots of characters. This takes a lot of time and resources. 3* (highest rarity) is very much recommended
- Takes a long time to raise affinity
- Max level of characters are tied to account level. This is what makes PVP horrendous
- Very difficult to maximize a character, requires a lot of resources
- Resources to grow a character differs between the students, based on their academy. This is what makes the growing the characters part tiresome. If you want to follow my approach, "Follow your heart, not the meta", focus on characters that you like.

So, as you can see, this game is solely made to enjoy the story. If you want a more "balanced" game, Epic Seven and Countersside is more for you. This game is like Fate Grand Order, you play this to enjoy the story and characters. Well, have fun. Oh, and DON'T SKIP THE RAID (Total Assault) story! It's important. Even our main character said in an event, "Wait, that was canon??" when they're facing Raid Boss outside the Raid Boss Mode, haha.

This is the only review you'll need before playing. Everything else out there either blindly hates it cause it's nexon or salty cause the "gacha" can't stress this enough the gacha system wasn't FAIR! OMG IMAGINE the gacha system not fair couldn't be me. Anyway a proper review would light this game for its true qualities which was great compensation rewards well optimized with a few hiccups that are being addressed. The story is great which isn't common in gacha games much anymore. The Sensei Student relationship is very cute and actually interesting. The game pronounces your username which is a very neat feature. Their is literally a reroll button built into the game for your convenience. Obviously as with many other gacha games auto does everything in the early stages but you could always take control for a better result. The game offers missions story events and PvP with a cafe that you can decorate it's like the perfect one stop gacha that you can enjoy in your own pace without feeling stressed. Not too demanding just a good enjoyable gacha with your normal mediocre gacha rates. If you don't wanna reroll and don't like the rates you should still try since it's a nice side game but there's other stuff out to play. So stop hating in the game like children and driving players away with these bad salty reviews.

I don't know why it has such low ratings, from what I've heard it's something about censorship and of course, because it's Nexon, but honestly as a female I could care less about things like censorship lol I just want to enjoy waifu gacha games. The music/soundtrack is amazing, that's literally what attracted me to play this game at first. I absolutely adore the characters as well! Still having a hard time choosing my favorite since they're all just so cute >.< Although there are some common tropes like tsundere, the characters are still loveable and I just get the urge to want to hug or pet them sometimes (and I can, I get to pet Arona and the girl at the shop it's just so adorable although they don't react much TT). The characters being able to say your name in voice is also such an unique feature, plus for that! Having a kind of a messenger app in the game is also beautiful, I love interacting with the characters so much through them and I get to learn more about them as well! I'm not that into the gameplay, it's basically those games where you press on the skills and then just watch them do their thing until you have to press on skills again and also the auto is horrible so don't rely on it LOL Haven't played much but yeah I kind of get overwhelmed with many features of a new game and it takes time to get used to it all, and well I don't have much to say for the gameplay other than it's okay, just probably not my type of game but can be enjoyable for others. (Still gonna play for story and waifus) Story is great too, I'm not that far in but I like the concept and where it's going so far. To put an end I'll just say try the game out if you don't give a shit about censorship (some girls in the game already do show lots of skin idk what's the big deal but ig just male stuff? lol), it's a great game so don't listen to those who put a bad rating just cuz it's Nexon.
