I liked the idea and the setting. It gave me video game vibes (wouldn't it be such a cool game??!). I wasn't as into it as I had hoped I'd be. The characters are a little bland. The romance between Juliette and Roma actually doesn't have any sparks when you take away the supposed past relationship they were in, which was never shown, only mentioned, and we're just supposed to believe it was amazing and loving and magical. The gangs could've been more interesting, rather than just a setting the characters happened to be in.
