Is It Love? Sebastian - Story

I absolutely love this story so far, my only problem is the fact that I can only read so many SENTENCES a day, not even a chapter. It’s ridiculous that you only get 500 energy a day and it cost 10 energy to read one sentence, a lot of the times it will be like a 2 or 3 word sentence. You can buy energy to play but because it cost so much to read one sentence, at the end of the day you still won’t get through a chapter. I mean not everyone can even afford to spend that much money buying energy to read it, and it’s kind of pointless to only get to read for like 5 minutes a day. Please address this issue, looking at the other reviews, I noticed that people have been talking about this issue for at least 3 years, so that just tells me that you guys don’t care about customer complaints. I don’t mean to sound rude when I say that, that’s just how it seems and I’m sorry to have to be the one to say it. But I mean I struggle enough paying my bills, I definitely can’t afford to pay for a game and it’s ridiculous that I have to if I want to enjoy it. Sorry but if you guys would work on changing maybe the cost of the energy it takes to read a sentence or make it to where you pay energy at the next chapter and you have to build up your energy in order to pay for the next chapter, I don’t know just making suggestions, but I would change my rating if you guys worked on that.

I just recently discovered otome games because... well, Shelter in Place. This was the best of all of them! Great story, gorgeous graphics, likeable heroine (smart, not stupid; sensible, not rash), and a very sexy hero... who is nice, not an egotistical a-hole! What I liked best was that the story included details about archeology and myths, which fits with the story line. There’s also plenty of mystery. It’s not just another shallow romance churned out quickly. Too bad it’s so expensive to read at a reasonable pace. You need “energies” to read. You get 300 a day, which doesn’t roll over to the next day. That gets you about 15 sentences! Believe me, that goes quickly, which is especially frustrating when you’re at the part when the heroine is just mulling over what just happened. You can win extra energy by playing a mini game once a day, but you can only get 160 max if you watch an ad. I bought $20 worth of energy today and I couldn’t even get through 1 chapter... not even close. And there are 11 chapters. Do the math! At the amount you get to read each day without spending a bunch of money, you’ll start to forget what happened just a chapter ago. The author, Claire Zamora has her own books and I would rather read those. Unfortunately, they’re only in French.

🚨FIRST REVIEW: I love Mystery Spell, and when I found out about Sebastian’s story, I couldn’t be more thrilled. I do love the Bartholy family with all my heart, but I really wanted a story outside of their household. This story had a strong start, and led me to believe that she was on her own. Perhaps living in an apartment. But when she dropped that she lives with them, then I knew that the same old was coming. I know they are the main family of this universe, but perhaps in Sebastian’s story, we could actually be enemies/strangers to the Bartholys. See them from a different perspective. Or even keep them away from being the main focus and still have their powerful influence over the city. Have more conflicts. Maybe it’s because I have read all the other stories and it all seems the same. If we do end up leaving for that internship with Sebastian then I’ll probably be surprised and change my view. Until then, let’s see what Sebastian has in store for us. 🚨🚨🚨 UPDATED: It seems my questions have been answered! The Bartholy boys are NOT the main focus, and it’s kinda sweet! Not the same old! I am enjoying this story quite a lot and brings me back to the excitement when I first met Drogo. I am super excited to read more and more! It is not as predictable and it’s definitely more sensual so beware younger crowd!!!! 🚨🚨🚨 Energy is the same “pay to read ahead” system so I am not bothering complaining about that. ❤️
