I can't speak to anyone else's experience, but I found this gentle and sweet and interesting - loved the story I ended up telling about a witch meeting and becoming connected to a community of people.
This game is a pretty cool approach to PbtA.
Stats are elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Wind) and the magic system is easy to get.
Anime and JRPG action games tropes are nicely captured too, through the themes and focus on relationships and protecting others, as well as with the move synergy design - moves can be chained, raising the stakes of the action.
I am very much looking forward to playing this game!
