This frequent support and responsiveness to feedback give players hope for the game's future and enhance the overall experience. The game is constantly updated with new content added frequently.

Common complaints:
- Buggy, unstable, and unfinished (weight 0.96): The game is plagued with numerous bugs, crashes, and performance issues, leading to an unstable and frustrating experience. Many players report that the game feels unfinished, with missing content, incomplete features, and poor optimization, even after the official 1.0 release. Some players are unable to progress due to game-breaking bugs, and others have lost significant progress due to save file corruption.
- Poor translation hinders understanding (weight 0.92): The game suffers from poor translation quality, with many instances of inaccurate terms, broken grammar, and nonsensical dialogue. This makes it difficult for players to understand the story, mechanics, and objectives, hindering their ability to engage with the game. Some players describe the translation as machine-translated or barely comprehensible.
- World feels lifeless, NPCs lacking (weight 0.88): The game world feels lifeless and empty, with uninspired NPC interactions and a lack of dynamic events. NPCs often behave unintelligently, lack depth, and fail to react to the player's actions or changes in the world. This diminishes the sense of immersion and makes the game world feel static and unengaging.
- Lacks guidance, confusing mechanics (weight 0.83): The game lacks clear guidance and explanations for its various systems and mechanics, making it difficult for new players to understand how to play or progress. The tutorial is insufficient, and many mechanics are esoteric and poorly explained, leading to confusion and frustration. Players often have to rely on external guides or trial and error to figure things out.
- Poorly designed, buggy UI (weight 0.76): The user interface is poorly designed, cluttered, and confusing, making it difficult to navigate and manage the game's various systems. There are also UI bugs that affect functionality and visuals, further detracting from the player experience. The controls are also described as janky.
- Poor optimization, performance issues (weight 0.75): The game suffers from poor optimization, leading to performance issues such as lag, freezes, and crashes.

- Repetitive, unbalanced combat system (weight 0.22): The combat system is repetitive, unbalanced, and often unenjoyable. Some players find it confusing or tedious, while others feel it relies too heavily on stats or specific builds, leading to power imbalances and a lack of strategic depth. The game lacks defensive options and becomes too easy or too difficult depending on the player's build and the enemy's stats.
- Frustrating, illogical NPC behavior (weight 0.21): NPCs exhibit strange and often frustrating behaviors, such as constant theft attempts, illogical reactions, and excessive aggression. The AI is simplistic and predictable, and NPCs often fail to react appropriately to the player's actions or the surrounding environment. This leads to immersion-breaking situations and a sense of disconnect from the game world.
- Sect system underdeveloped, buggy (weight 0.16): The sect system is underdeveloped, unprofitable, and plagued with bugs, making it difficult to manage and progress. Sects fail to expand or engage in wars without player intervention, and many sect features feel incomplete. The mechanics for destroying sects are unrealistic, and the AI for disciples needs improvement.
- Artificial playtime extension, grindy (weight 0.06): The game artificially extends playtime through repetitive tasks and drawn-out processes for learning skills. This makes progression feel tedious and grindy, rather than rewarding. Some players find the skill system to be generic and lacking in depth.
- Compared unfavorably to Kenshi (weight 0.05): The game is unfavorably compared to Kenshi, lacking its depth, richness, and sense of immersion.
