** It’s also worth mentioning that almost none of this stuff appears until multiple chapters into the game. The first couple of chapters are largely straightforward dressup game levels, with plot lines like “help your friend get her stolen designs back!” [[spoiler: Lunar’s death]] doesn’t happen until chapter fifteen, which takes a while to reach. Because it takes so long to get to the genuinely dark parts, multiple online reviewers have treated Love Nikki as a lighthearted kids’ adventure that happens to have some age-inappropriate {{Fanservice}}, not even realizing that it was never aimed at children. A parent could easily be forgiven for handing the game to a child and not realizing how dark it would eventually get—especially because it was, inexplicably, rated for ages ‘’4+‘’ for a while.

** Nidhogg seemed to take the biggest criticism as some players felt that his "new" name sounded too menacing, seemingly making his FaceHeelTurn too obvious (whereas "Henry" is a very neutral name.) On the other hand, as the game has progressed, the mythological reference in his Chinese name appears more with dragons appearing in suits and lore related to the character, so reverting his name back makes these allusions easier to catch.

* SequelDisplacement: Despite the fact that ''both'' of its prequels came out in English, most people outside of China don't even realize that Love Nikki Dress Up Queen is the third game in the ''[=NikkiUp2U=]'' series. At least part of this is down to the first title, ''[=NikkiUp2U=]'' having only received a quiet Android release, so the large iOS player base will have never even heard of it. On top of that the second game (titled ''Hello Nikki - Let's Beauty Up!'' in English) shut down its global servers in 2016 ([[LeftHanging without resolving the story of whether or not Nikki found her father]]). So by the time ''Love Nikki - Dress Up Queen'' launched in English and received both an Android and iOS release with a different international publisher at the helm, there was no way for the many, many new players to even play the better known of the two previous titles. They are so obscure that many fans haven't even realized that the huge "[=NIKKIUP2U3=]" logo in the main menu of ''Love Nikki'' is referring to ''this game''. That said, the English script still retains many {{ShoutOut}}s to the previous game, such as Nikki noticing that the Fantasy Envoy looks familiar, and several ''Hello Nikki'' outfits are included in the sequel.

** Nidhogg seemed to take the biggest criticism as some players felt that his "new" name sounded too menacing, seemingly making his HeelFaceTurn too obvious (whereas "Henry" is a very neutral name.) On the other hand, as the game has progressed, the mythological reference in his Chinese name appears more with dragons appearing in suits and lore related to the character, so reverting his name back makes these allusions easier to catch.

* SequelDisplacement: Despite the fact that ''both'' of its prequels came out in English, most people outside of China don't even realize that Love Nikki Dress Up Queen is the third game in the ''[=NikkiUp2U=]'' series. At least part of this is down to the first title, ''[=NikkiUp2U=]'' having only received a quiet Android release, so the large iOS player base will have never even heard of it. On top of that the second game (titled ''Hello Nikki - Let's Beauty Up!'' in English) shut down its global servers in 2016 ([[LeftHanging without resolving the story of whether or not Nikki found her father]]). So by the time ''Love Nikki - Dress Up Queen'' launched in English and received both an Android and iOS release with a different international publisher at the helm, there was no way for the many, many new players to even play the better known of the two previous titles. They are so obscure that many fans haven't even realized that the huge "[=NIKKIUP2U3=]" logo in the main menu of ''Love Nikki'' is referring to ''this game''. That said, the English script still retains many {{ShoutOut}}s to the previous game, such as Nikki noticing that the Fantasy Envoy looks familiar, and several ''Hello Nikki'' outfits are included in the sequel.

** There's also some overlap between ''Love Nikki'' and ''VisualNovel/MrLoveQueensChoice'', mostly because both games have the same developer.
