HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (246 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription24%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Unless you are willing to spend money to get unlimited energy you will literally slowly pay for your own energy to decrease throughout the game.
★★★★★ TIME.I have been hit with -2 energy from having to pay earned money in the game to evaluate my energy level.
★★★★★ And for more energy you have to spend money.
Missing features24%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ My energy falls from aging and doctor's appointments too quick with no way to get it back up and there comes a point where it is impossible to do anything to gain energy.
★★★★★ To be honest there is still a lot of things missing like with what format am I publishing the books, is it hardcover?
★★★★★ just feels like a lot is missing.
Bugs, things not working18%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Absolutely no way this game has a 4.8 rating when it is almost impossible to accomplish the goals of this game. I raised all of my skills AND STILL couldn't sell to a publisher. I tried and tried. I created videos,…
★★★★★ My big problem is that the energy feature feels broken.
Slow, laggy, battery12%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Progress is very slow especially compared to music star also on my iPhone at least I can't change the amount of promotion, so I'm stuck doing only the least amount because the keyboard blocks it
★★★★★ Out of a counted 40 annual checkups, 3 had a positive increase, 15 had neutral, the rest all drained energy permanently.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • It's the one I always come back to and I wish there was an update to add in some of the same features in your other games. 5★, Jul 6, 2026
  • wish there was a tutorial 4★, Apr 29, 2026
  • That'd help a lot and can you add more ways to increase your amount of max energies? 4★, Dec 30, 2025
  • I wish that your husbands earnings show up in your feed because that is regular for that to happen in real life. 4★, Aug 23, 2025
  • I would love to see more added into the game like a family tree so after ur character dies (I haven't gotten to that point) you can have ur kid become ur next heir to fortune. 5★, Aug 17, 2025
  • Other than that, I think you guys should add more to the dating feature, maybe have more things involving daily stuff like scandals and so on. 5★, Aug 17, 2025
  • Needs to be optimized and needs an option to close the publisher. 4★, May 14, 2025
  • Overall pretty good just needs more updates like their other games. 4★, May 14, 2025

Accurate, great results6%

10 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ some suggestions are that, even though it might be pretty complex to code, you could make it so that the player can enter their own drafts and their stats adjust based off the quality of the draft and the reviews also…
★★★★★ This game is very realistic for someone who is also a writer.
★★★★★ Of said 33 books, 25 of them are 100+ in quality.
Worth the money2%

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ You could get maybe a free extra energy charge and a little more cash than usual!
★★★★★ I missed the era of games where they were both good, and ad free.
★★★★★ Waiting on my 250 free energy
Easy to use1%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's a simple game, but interesting to explore and figure out.
★★★★★ Like the other person said, I don't wanna be the classmate that tells the teacher we have homework, but this seems unrealistic… it's WAY too easy to make money and it makes the game boring very quickly.
Useful, it helps1%

I think game is broken now?

Over 3 hours of playing spend money on upgrades, makes consistent self published 5 star rated stories but can never get an agent. Also, top 90% percentile in short stories. I’m really convinced this is all just randomized because virality just randomly generates every single time. How does an author with everything maxed out get bottomed out in viral? Makes no sense. They left this game to slowly break. :(

★★★★★Jul 20, 2026
Update

Can I get a update please lol

★★★★★Jul 18, 2026
Fun

Love it it’s a jit

★★★★★Jul 6, 2026
Love this game!

Out of all the life simulators you’ve created this one is by far my favorite! It’s the one I always come back to and I wish there was an update to add in some of the same features in your other games. I think I saw somewhere, you say that it just wasn’t popular so you stopped updating or something like that but people still love this game!!

★★★★★Jul 2, 2026
jst a few suggestions

AMAZING GAME. i really really love this, especially the fact that i love writing and how i can basically do anything to increase my fame is pretty amazing. some suggestions are that, even though it might be pretty complex to code, you could make it so that the player can enter their own drafts and their stats adjust based off the quality of the draft and the reviews also comment on how it is, that way you could gain fame realistically! also maybe an import photo feature for the cover and a way to move the title or author text around. these suggestions are just, well, suggestions, but i think they can help the players enjoy the game a lot more! PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS, THIS ACCOUNT IS LINKED TO MY MOM’S SO SHE CAN SEE WHEN YOU RESPOND, SO DONT
