Official game description:
**Reviving a Ruined Sect—Starting with a Single Patch of Spirit Soil**
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After being expelled from the Sword Sect, Yun Che returns to his sect’s ruined grounds, hoping to restore his cultivation by tending to a medicinal garden. Yet, it is not the spirit fields or the hidden realms that truly unsettle his mind—but rather the mature women he encountered on his journey.
A cold, austere senior sister; a seductive, voluptuous witch; a mysterious figure with an ambiguous, flirtatious demeanor... By day, they fight alongside you, sharing laughter and conversation.
But in the dead of night, when you are alone, they draw near—breathing heavily, their bodies testing the limits of your restraint...
*   **Spirit Field Management**: Cultivate spirit plants tied to the Five Elements, balancing resource accumulation with the pace of your progression.
*   **Cultivation & Techniques**: Increase your proficiency to unlock active skills, passive effects, and permanent abilities.
*   **Strategic Combat**: Adapt your team composition based on enemy resistances and turn order.
*   **Adult-Oriented Narrative**: Build relationships with various mature female characters to unlock exclusive storylines, intimate interactions, combat bonuses, and collectible content. From tentative advances and caresses to deep, physical union—witness the side of them that only emerges once their defenses are lowered.
Cultivate spiritual fields and grow mystical plants with various elemental affinities to gather resources for your cultivation journey and adventures;
Visit towns to accept commissions and forge bonds with companions;
Equip yourself with weapons, armor, and cultivation techniques. In turn-based combat, utilize damage, shields, healing, and crowd control to face off against elite enemies and bosses in hidden realms.
As you tend to your herb garden, seize the chance—in moments of solitude—to claim both their bodies and their absolute trust.❤️
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Li Wanxing**  
A "Saintess" of the Demonic Sect—haughty and possessive, yet deeply afraid that you see only the "Saintess" rather than Li Wanxing herself.
**Su Qinghan**  
A former senior sister from your sect; cold-faced, reserved, and composed.
**Hua Liuli**  
Sweet-talking and adorable, yet strong-willed. You may save her, but never presume to make choices on her behalf.
**Xuan You**
A young woman who emerged from the "Library of Lost Eras." Calm and meticulous, she is accustomed to documenting everything—but now, she is learning to distinguish between orders and her own true desires, as she begins to make decisions for her own life.
**Shuang Ling**  
Her wrist-bell contains sands of time that flow in reverse. Within the fissures lie countless versions of her—those who were rescued, those who were missed, and those who were never met at all. The woman standing before you now is Shuangling; she asks that you call her by that name—not by the echoes of a past that no longer exists.
With whom will your passion ignite? That is entirely up to you—_the lone heir of the Sword Sect, the sect’s holy son, the cold and ethereal figure in white, a soul defined by fragility and tragic destiny, the stoic ascetic—the male lead_

- Quests lack required guidance (weight 0.53): Multiple quests such as 'Gentle Cleanup Crew' and 'Storm Approaching' provide no hints or useful information, only an exclamation mark. This leaves players unsure how to proceed.
- Quests frequently get stuck (weight 0.42): Players report that quests cannot be completed and often require resetting or re-entering the quest dungeon to fix. This blocks progress and wastes time.
- Events fail to trigger (weight 0.42): Key events like the 'Gentle Cleanup Crew' for the Sword Sect do not occur even after advancing many days. This stalls game progression for affected players.
- Recruited characters missing from dormitory (weight 0.4): Hired employees and characters recruited at the tavern show as hired but do not appear in the dormitory. Party members also fail to display, showing only the protagonist.
- Dialogue box obscures scenes (weight 0.39): The text box covers too much of the screen and is too opaque, blocking half of the H-scenes. Players must press ESC and reopen it to continue.
- Story progression feels random (weight 0.3): Poor quest guidance makes story advancement feel completely random, and the flow sometimes gets stuck. Players cannot predict or control progress.
- Black screen blocks Gentle Squad progress (weight 0.3): The game gets stuck at the 'Defeat the Gentle Squad' objective with a black screen that prevents any interaction. This is a hard progress blocker.
- Save data can be lost (weight 0.3): Saves can suddenly disappear, and loading a save may reset maxed cultivation skills to zero. This causes significant loss of progress.
- Placeholder art and flat combat (weight 0.28): Combat and maps are described as flat placeholder images, and combat is not fun. Visuals and gameplay feel unpolished.
- Poor translation and awkward text (weight 0.28): The translation quality is poor, and machine-translated Korean text reads awkwardly. This hurts immersion and comprehension.

- Farming and romance content overwhelming (weight 0.15): Handling both farming and romance content is overwhelming and hard to keep up with. The dual systems may feel unbalanced.

Gameplay feedback:
- Quest markers and named quests (weight 0.46): Quests are marked with exclamation marks and include named objectives such as Gentle Cleanup Crew and Storm Approaching. A main story progresses through these quests.
- Click-based farming gameplay (weight 0.37): Farming is simple and click-driven, with basic mechanics rather than deep simulation. The same click-based interaction appears across multiple systems.

- Turn-based combat with auto-battle (weight 0.37): Combat is turn-based using learned skills, and an auto-battle option makes grinding convenient. The goal in combat is to defeat the enemy boss.
- Cultivation skills and equipment (weight 0.32): Cultivation skills can be leveled up, and skill books can be changed by clicking their icon. Equipment exists and can be dismantled.

- Party system and Sword Sect events (weight 0.24): The game has a party system for managing characters. Character events are tied to the Sword Sect faction.
- Day progression and Gentle Squad objective (weight 0.24): The game features day progression over time. One objective is to defeat a group called the Gentle Squad.
- Flat image assets for combat (weight 0.14): Combat and maps use flat image assets rather than animated or 3D visuals. This gives the game a static, illustration-based look.

Emotions:

- Disappointment (weight 0.14): Disappointment stems from combat and map art being flat placeholders, making the game feel half-finished. Lost progress on maxed skills and equipment after loading a save, along with low-quality H-scenes and unfun combat, further disappoint players.
