It's an enjoyable game, but if you looked at it closely, this game basically copied and pasted from Princess Connect Re:Dive (UI, ranking up system, arena system and even more similarities) other than for its gameplay. Even Kimura Yuito, the executive director at Cygames, acknowledge this and lowkey retweeted his tweet from a year ago regarding how good Priconne's UI upon this game's release. All in all, it's an enjoyable game, but regarding the copy pasted thing, it's definitely quite insulting towards the guys who worked on Princess Connect.

English text will be nice. it'll make it easier for non-Japanese to play but also enjoy the storyline.

Reviews for "Love and Relationships in Portuguese Folk Magic"

- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to learn about Portuguese folk magic, but this book was a huge disappointment. The information was vague and not well-researched, and there were hardly any practical tips or techniques provided. It felt more like a collection of personal anecdotes rather than a guidebook on the subject. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for an in-depth exploration of Portuguese folk magic.

- Mark - 1 star - Honestly, I couldn't even finish this book. The writing style was incredibly dry and boring, making it difficult to stay engaged. Additionally, the author seemed more interested in talking about their personal experiences than actually teaching anything about Portuguese folk magic. I was hoping to gain some new knowledge and insights, but all I got was a dull read that left me extremely disappointed.

- Anna - 2 stars - As someone who has studied and practiced witchcraft for years, I was intrigued by the title of this book. However, the content did not live up to my expectations. The author seemed more focused on self-promotion rather than providing valuable information. The rituals and spells presented were basic and nothing I hadn't already come across in other books. Overall, I found this book to be a waste of time and would advise others to look for more comprehensive resources on Portuguese folk magic.
