I really love this game's art style and overall storytelling. The idea of taking characters from fairytales and giving them all the goal of meeting their author to change some aspect of their story (or in Cinderella's case, to just kill him), but with a dark thematic twist on all the characters is genuinely incredibly interesting. I love stuff that takes mythology, fairytales, or lore and spices them up with a unique and interesting lens, so this game is basically right up my alley.

Unfortunately, it's a mobile game, and that tells you everything you need to know about it. It's grindy and repetitive, the fun story is told exclusively through text on either a black screen or a png of the character of that story, and having other players come in and one-shot every enemy you fight makes it feel like you're not even doing anything. I played this game for about two or so months straight, but after that, I just gave up. When I got a new phone I didn't bother transferring my data.

Overall, a really neat idea held back by it's medium. If this were a console or PC game, I could see myself getting really into it, but as a phone game, it leaves me mostly frustrated, Hopefully the manga will help satisfy my interest in this game's world.
