Love, love this game! However...

I love, love, love this game! I’ve finished Asra and Julian’s routes and am impatiently waiting for the next chapters in Muriel and Lucio’s routes, but I’ll go back through Asra and Julian so I can collect all the gallery pics (plus why the heck not?! >////<). HOWEVER, I do have a few beefs with the game in regards to $$$: First, the daily log in of 5 coins is 35 coins a week. The least expensive “bold” option I’ve seen is 75 coins. That’s a day over 3 weeks logging in every single day for a single “bold” option. The highest paid option I’ve seen is 275 coins (maybe there’s higher, I don’t remember) and that’s almost 8 weeks logging in every day. If you’re like me, you just pay money because you’re impatient and too engrossed in the story, but then you’re disappointed because the juicy romantic stuff that should’ve happened because you paid $5.99 for extra coins lasts 2-3 taps. Suggestions: Please consider either drawing out the romances or upping the daily reward coins day by day (someone suggested by 5 or 3 or really anything and I think that’s brilliant). Also, please consider making the coin purchases worth the bucks. Example: it’s $5.99 to get 250 coins. That’s one higher-ranked “bold” option. Paying $5.99 isn’t terrible... if it’s once every 3-4 volume or something, but when it’s EVERY volume (not to mention up to 3 sub chapters of each volume), that starts racking up a pretty penny. Better yet, why not have a flat fee to unlock all the “bold” options in each story? I’d happily pay $15-20 to unlock all the “bold” choices instead of racking up $50+ for coins that get me almost nowhere. Second, once you’ve used up all 3 keys, it takes 8 hours PER KEY to refill. That is totally ridiculous and honestly excessive. I don’t mind the amount to pay for refills, but the refill timeframe is silly. Suggestion: Why not 8 hours to refill all 3 keys? That would be waaaaay better. I would find it a lot more enjoyable if the keys refilled more quickly, say like one every 2.5 hours or something, that’s 3 keys in 8 hours instead of playing one chapter every 8 hours, if you even play at all. Third, when you spin you get trinkets. The trinkets are in your storage and when you go to the storage page and click on one, you have the option to buy it for 25-50 coins. Um, why would I pay coins for something that I just spun? What purpose does purchasing it have? And if you have doubles+ of a trinket, there’s an extra reason why you wouldn’t waste coins on buying it. What does it do? Sit there? “Congrats you wasted 1-2 weeks of daily-log-in-play-time to have this... it doesn’t do anything, but good for you!” ............. 0–0 .... no, I don’t think so. Suggestion: Collecting one of each trinket unlocks a special scene right? But what if you have more than one trinket? Why not offer to “sell” it at the 25-50 coins you’d buy it for? Then players get coins to play the routes and there’s the extra incentive to play the wheel (which I usually forget about). Win-win. All in all, I really love the Arcana and I really love the characters—except the courtiers because creepy—I just wish that there was a different/more efficient system with how money is won and bought inside the game.
Daily coins.

Hello, while I’m enjoying the game so far with its’ interactions with all of the characters, it is taking quite a little while to raise up the coins for the special scenes. Perhaps there could be an increase in these coins per day; 5 for the first day, 30 for the sixth day?
Unlocked a book and it’s not showing in game

I just bought the $9.99 coin pack to buy Asra’s book. I began playing and then out of nowhere I have to pay for scenes again. What the heck? The purchase is already reflected in my bank account and the 500 coins I used to purchase the book are GONE. Can someone answer me please? I’m really upset.
Nix Hydra listens!

To start of the review of the product itself, I have to say this game is beautifully written. Each character has their own personality. The story is captivating and viewing it from the different routes of each character only makes the game more enjoyable. I’m thankful that the different endings to each of the routes is available for free, meaning only the free choices in this game affect your ending. Coin choice are optional and are there only to enrich the gameplay further. Naturally, I wanted to buy the comic choices, yet coming but enough coins was a hassle. It took a while (months) to have enough coins for an entire book, but it’s doable. Now, I saw I have the option to watch adds for more coins, and I have to say I am surprised and extremely thankful for nix hydra for adding this option. This seems to be a very giving company who listens to its customers. Thank you for the wonderful game!
AMAZING!!!

I love this! It's such a good game! From the path to the way it's written is beautiful. This is probably the best story choice game ever! It's such a beautiful story and everyone is just so unique! Although it could be better with less hours waiting for keys and more ways to get coins.
Beautiful game great overall

The artwork is wonderful and the characters are fun and lovable! The story is interesting and keeps my interest from all angles/routes. My only criticism would be what most of the other reviews are commenting on which is it is pretty expensive to buy coins outright BUUUUT if you want to focus on one route it’s not impossible to save up coins to use to buy the books. They do give you free coins daily from the wheel of fortune, heart hunter and tarot check in so if there’s a particular character you like you can focus on them for almost nothing (I did buy coins once because I wanted to support the game and because I slacked off on saving coins lol)
Pretty good game
Octoling?
This is a pretty good game, don’t care too much for the “romantic” stuff, so the coin thing isn’t much of a problem to me. The story is GREAT, and it really inspires me. And this game is not inappropriate, it doesn’t go further than kissing/hugging. There is some swearing and violence, but I think this game is suitable for anyone 13 and up.
To Sum Up... Coins

This is by far one of the best romance games I have ever read and/or played. The art is absolutely beautiful, the writing detail is wonderful and I just always want to come back for more. But it’s just hard when you don’t really get coins. Yes, of course, you get them at the end of the week, but why not just get five everyday, and that will add up to 30. Making games is a hard process indeed, but this is always just an option to help make the game better!
Amazing app but...

Ok so I’m absolutely in love with this app but it takes soooo long to get new keys to read a single chapter! And i would also love it if there where some more thing to get more coins easier. Thx for reading.
