Carlo Santos, writing for Anime News Network, enjoyed the writing and "passion" that Thompson brought to the work, and the diversity of the characters.[3] Melinda Beasi felt the characters, while over-the-top, were "grounded in just enough reality to ring true".[4] Joanna Draper Carlson compared the graphic novel with Penny Arcade and found the “zany adventure” plot "didn't work for [her]". Carlson felt that there was too much tone being used in the art and that the layout was confusing.[5] Michael Lorah felt that if he was a fan of RPGs, he would understand the book better, but enjoyed the "enthusiasm" of the work. He found the art confusing, especially when characters are reacting with extreme emotion.[6] Nick Smith, writing for ICv2, opined that it "isn't always funny" when "relatively innocent individuals" are hurt as part of the story, but praised Victor Hao's art.[7]
