* BrokenBase: The different artstyle introduced after the April 2020 update. Some preferred the older artstyle, feeling that the more realistic approach gave the game a unique look, and also view the animesque approach as too generic/mainstream. Those who like the updated artstyle prefer the sleeker look and think that many of the characters benefited from the change. Still others think the team should take a hiatus from releasing chapters so they can better focus on the art issue, pointing out that a visual medium should stay visually consistent.

* SpiritualAdaptation: To ''VisualNovel/MyCandyLove''. Both visual novels have similar premises, game mechanics, and features such the appearance the player chooses for the main character being reflected in illustrations. The main difference between the two is that many of the problems MCL fans had with that game are absent or have been improved upon.[[note]]For example, a frequent criticism among MCL fans is the action point (AP) system. In the early days of MCL, players could get from location to location by using two AP per move. However, you only got ten AP per day, and even the least expensive episodes usually costed anywhere between 400 to 800 AP. This meant that if you wanted to play an entire episode in one sitting and didn't want to spend a bunch of real money on AP, you had to wait a couple months before you could continue. (That's not even mentioning late game changes to the AP system that made getting through an episode cost even ''more''.) On ''Sweet Elite'', you get five Energy points (their version of AP) per day, but you can always buy more with Coins, an in-game currency. Objectives and dialogue hints usually point you in the direction you need to go, and even when they don't, ending up in the location you need to doesn't take very long. As a result, each Chapter of SE costs about 300 Energy on average.[[/note]] The creator of ''Sweet Elite'' ran an MCL fanblog before working on this game, stating that the main reason SE even exists is to "[[https://mcldrabblesforyou.tumblr.com/post/139059336614/sweet-elite-an-otome-game-made-and-designed-for fix many problems and controversial issues [she and other fans have] seen in the [MCL] community]]".
