Reception

Famitsu reported that from July 15, 2024 to July 21, 2024, the game ranked 9th place in physical purchases with 5,276 units sold.

Jenni Lada from Siliconera found the game to be "great", enjoying the mix of revenge and romance, praising the heroine's "identity and personality, compared to other otome titles", the art, she also found the betrayal mechanic (where the heroine leaves the chosen love interest for his rival) to be fun, and the mystery. However, she also commented how some of the romance felt "forced" in certain scenes, she also wrote regarding Alfred's route that "the romance in that one sort of feels like more of an aside than being well-integrated into events."

Audra Bowling from RPGFan called Aprose "one of the most fleshed-out and well-developed" protagonist she had ever encountered, enjoying her growth. She found John's route to be the strongest, while also praising Edward, Linus, and Lucas' route, however, she criticized Alfred and Ascot's routes, finding the romance to have developed too quickly. She also found the art to be "gorgeous", while also enjoying the opening theme.
