Some viewers commented, "Considering it's a manga adaptation, the quality is quite good." "Overall, the adaptation is well-done, and the production quality is commendable. Although some character designs underwent significant changes, the overall quality remains impressive." However, some critics expressed their disappointment, stating, "This isn't a true live-action manga adaptation; it feels more like a budget cosplay." "It follows the clichés of online novels and anime. The female lead's looks and the production value are decent, but without these elements, there wouldn't be much to watch."
