Not here for Gabriel❌ I came for MY Matt? – Is It Love? Gabriel - Journeys Review

Alright, allow me to be honest. I LOATHE GABRIEL. In all seriousness, he makes me cringe with his Shrek Prince Charming face, little baby thumbs, and sleazy ulterior motive personality he hides behind his gentleman persona. I only downloaded this app for Matt, and I haven't been disappointed. I absolutely adore Matt, and while I hope there's a perfect ending I can achieve with him in this app, I will never, EVER play it to wind up with Gabriel? Now for the actual gameplay downside. This app, like all other 'is it love?' apps, has a ridiculous energy system. It requires no less than 10 energy per tap to read, and the maximum free daily energy after winning the max on the mini game and watching video ads is roughly 430-460 energy. This wouldn't be such a bad deal if you're truly patient with only reading for about 5-10 minutes a day, and if the interactions per tap were meaningful dialogue, but that's definitely not the case. A large majority of the dialogue is with minor characters like meaningless conversations with your boss's secretary who you become friends with, random nonsensical chatter with your boss who cringingly hits on you and gets handsy like a creeper, and the dreaded waste of energy that is Cassidy. This app focuses more on the main love interest's rival (Matt), which is why I love it so much, but even so, your reading is very limited if you don't pay ridiculously high prices for energy packs to get through the rabble. I wouldn't mind paying for energy or reasonable prices per chapter like $3.99-$4.99 like most otomes, and I already don't mind paying the $1.99 for the special scenes if I daftly make the wrong choices or accidentally mis-tap. Also a P.S. for the grammar patrol: This app isn't for you. There are countless spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors. I would volunteer as proof reader, but alas, there's no application anywhere.
