It really does immerse you here, I don't think I would say it's better than 'Epistory's' as it goes really well with putting you in the story book there, but I wouldn't say this is terrible or worse by any means.

It also retains the unique gameplay element of typing to fight and interact with the environment.

The adaptive difficulty works well, the lore snippets are fun. the gameplay is surprisingly complex for a typing game, the graphics look nice.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

Gameplay loop of Epistory felt tighter however Nanotale opens up the possibility for different strategies due to being able to move while in combat.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music, narration and sound effects were also good in my opinion.
