Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
As we've come to love, some visual novels are truly amazing, they deliver a story in such a deep beautiful way that it truly is an inspiration or pure bliss to play and enjoy the game, this is what we have with Shuyan Saga, a truly amazing story filled with Action and Adventure, with a little dash of clicking gameplay, something not very common in Visual Novel games, but a real fun add on to an great game.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
SS is a single player, bash em up, Kung Fu@martial art theme, with some mystical element, using a combination of top-down 2D view and 3D in a 1-on-1 fighting scene, is a Visual Novel driven story (like Telltale/Life is strange), featuring a female protagonist and it also has great music soundtrack.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics for the game is quite beautifully done, a lot of effort went into creating the scenes, backgrounds and areas, with great attention to detail given there, however they seemed to have slacked off a bit when it came to the characters themselves.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The scope of the product was small (and this is the right decision for your first product), direct gameplay, easy to pick up and theres save function by chapters, no bugs, no funny business of grinding/crappy quests/crazy puzzles, sudden difficulty spike in boss fights/late game - none of those nonsenses.
