User Reviews for My Hotpot Story
Gamers Unite: Developers Urged to Restore Ad-Watching for Diamonds
I'm not usually a gamer, but I stumbled upon My Hotpot Story and found it quite enjoyable. I've been playing it for months now, and while leveling up was slow, I found there were enough daily tasks to keep me engaged. The option to watch ads and earn diamonds was helpful, especially for the little arcade game that rewarded me with training books. However, the recent update has removed the option to watch ads for diamonds, making it almost impossible to progress without spending actual money. As a result, I find myself bored and resorting to changing furniture back and forth just to pass the time and because of how much I love(d) this game. This seems like a greedy move by the developers, especially considering that the majority of players are kids who likely won't spend money on the game. I agree with other recent reviews, particularly the detailed one by StrawberryroseG, and urge the developers to revert to the previous system. If they do, I'd be happy to rate the app five stars. Until then, it has become a disappointment. Additionally, it would be very helpful if they're also active on social media regarding news and updates. They only have 1 post on Instagram... Please fix all of this. Thanks for reading.

The Micro-Transactions in this Game Are Absolutely NUTS
This is a great relaxing game that has super cute animations! I love the decorating function and being able to add new food items to the menu.My biggest problem with the game is how hard it tries to get you to make a purchase. I’ve only had this game downloaded for two days, and I’m already finding it hard to progress without potentially having to buy more stamina to merge new ingredients or money to purchase furniture and upgrade the dishes. I always can find a way to play these kinds of games without making a single purchase but I don’t think that’s the case with this one. It’s pretty much impossible to train the employees to improve the service rating for increasing the restaurant rating because the little manuals are really difficult to obtain and it takes forever to build up enough clovers to buy more. Because of this, the only way I can improve the service rating is hiring more staff. The downside to this is that I can barely play the game now! I have purchased most of the staff which pretty much eliminates half of the gameplay since they do it all for you. The game is becoming less fun to play since I’m not really doing anything anymore. At this rate, I may end up deleting the game if progress stops all together.
The game was fun but…
I love this game. Its fun, addictive, and really engaging. But once you get past silver level 1 it takes WAYY TOO LONG to do anything else in the game! It took me two weeks just to get from silver 2 to silver 3 and I’ve been silver 3 for over 2 months now and can’t go further. The problem is it becomes a money trap after that. You have to use real world money to purchase materials to level up staff and menu items. I’m talking $30+ just to level up your restaurant and get to gold level. You could try to buy the notebooks and the two fish cookies 5 at a time with in game money, but they rarely show up in the “shop”. So I’ve only been able to buy them twice. If the cost of these expansions weren’t so expensive, I honestly would have bought the packs already and paid maybe $1-$5. But I do not want to pay $30+ for a mobile game pack that might not even be enough to get me to the next level. So this is another mobile game that is basically only fun for a few weeks. Then it looses it relatively. My advice would be to make it where you can use in game money to buy fish, notebooks, and anything else you need to level up. Also make the cost of the expansion packs lower. This is not the economy for $30 packs.
Love this game…but.
EDIT: Since this last update, you can’t watch ads in exchange for diamonds anymore. They reaaaally want you to expend real life cash on this game. So for that, I am knocking down one star. The game is slowly turning into a pay to win scenario. Which baffles me because each time we watch an ad to get diamonds, the devs get money so… the idea that they delete that extra income for them in the hope that people will cave in and expend RL cash, makes no sense to me. Unless they have data that we don’t have showing them that a lot of people are sinking RL cash on this.I deleted my last review because I didn’t noticed you could hide the UI. Anyways! I love the game. I despise that after you reach silver 2 stars, the game gets considerably difficult. Every upgrade costs more and more and more (over 300,000) which makes the game a grind. We all know why this is. So you can buy microtransactions. Also I wouldn’t call this game a “game”. You hit 1-2 things and then close the game. The “game” plays itself. That’s not very entertaining now, does it? The little fish you need to upgrade dishes? Yeah, IMPOSSIBLE to get. Unless you buy them with real life money, play the lottery game which drops just 2 fish and that is if you get the fish at all. Characters don’t drop them, the create a pot creator doesn’t drop them like it does with journals to upgrade characters and getting them with points it’s expensive.
Surprisingly Fun and Fulfilling
I was apprehensive at first, but I realize I really like this game once I started getting the hang of all the different tasks to complete. I have only been playing for a few days, but I really do like all the different options between characters (staff), the different areas of the restaurant, meals, different mini games to keep you even more intrigued. I will say that it seems a title unforgiving when you make a decision and you can’t come back from it without paying for it (star wise) to change something like the name of the restaurant etc, but I can understand how that’s a good technique for them to encourage people to pay real money to gain more stars because if you use just the ads to gain stars that would take a long time and it may have a limit how often we can use the ads to gain stars, I haven’t seen if that is the case yet, but you gain 10 stars per ad you watch and can trade it for valuable items such as money etc, but they seem to be pretty generous so far, but we do have to realize that they have to makeup so either we be patient and occupy ourselves in between time with other games possibly or pay to speed up the process, but to each its own preference in regards to that. The intricate details in this game is definitely amazing.
bring back optional ads for diamonds please !
1 STAR BC OF NEW UPDATE made it 5 so my review gets seen. ever since the 1.6 update the game became a money grab. it was such a new simple game with optional ads if you want to gain diamonds which honestly made me want to grind and play the game more. now i’m unable to watch an ad to claim 10 diamonds which really helped with acquiring training books which was already hard before but taking the optional ads away makes it difficult and nearly impossible ! especially since you can’t have more try’s on the arcade which helps a lot with getting more training books! i’ve been grinding on this game for months now trying to get to gold 3 but now i don’t even have a motivation to play as much since now they are really trying to get you to spend irl money. i don’t understand the point of taking away this option other than a money grab. and either or you still receive when we do watch ads !
Pretty fun but odd pacing
As the game goes on its significantly more difficult to achieve the progressions in the game. I’d say ive been playing close to 2 months now and im not at the gold 1 level because it’s been taking and will take another few weeks to progress service ratings enough to make the next goal. You have to buy a certain amount of food/facility upgrades but after that you have to collect 20 training books for every staff member (which takes at least a day per 20 if you invest a lot of time in the game) and that will only get you to the low 2000s needed out of 2400 points. With each upgrade gaining you 8 service points so far and each 40-book upgrade granting 10 service points, im about to stop playing because im never going to get upgraded to gold. Ive been stagnant in the game after daily playing for at least a week and a half and i have no hope of progressing anytime soon. The pacing/rewards need to be worked out in this way either yielding a larger reward for these heavily time consuming game interactions, or requiring less time input for basic game progression
Loving it so far + a few suggestions
I really enjoy this game. I’ve been playing it non-stop. Most of these tycoon-type games end up forgotten about or deleted. This game is just jam packed with different tasks, aesthetics upgrades, mini games, and strategy! In terms of critiques, I think that there should be some leveling. I’ve progressed quite a lot in this game and it becoming increasingly difficult to make progress. Upgrades cost far too much, compared to the amount you are making, and with each upgrade you complete, it doesn’t raise the value of your product by very much. For example, I just purchased a menu star on my menu item for $12,500 (approx), and I only received 8 points to raise to my food score. When you are asking for me to raise my food score to 4,800 points, you can begin to understand just how time consuming this becomes. I have been trying to upgrade my store for over three (irl) days, and every time I join on, I can only upgrade about two things and then I have to wait another three hours to start again. I really enjoyed the pacing of the game earlier. I would love if this could be sorted.
Great Game With NO ADS!
I’ve been playing this game nonstop since I saw it on TikTok. Every game I’ve downloaded plays an Ad every 30 seconds you play and this game doesn’t! You can watch ads to get diamonds faster, but it is not needed at all to be able to play the game. Besides that, it is addicting in all aspects as you want to upgrade your restaurant, decorate, train employees, and gain new recipes. I am currently on Silver 2 after 1 week of playing! My only complaint is I wish you could have more access to training books, cookies, and food/condiment ingredients. It is apart of the daily’s, but I wish you could play the arcade game more or something to obtain it a little quicker. I have 3 star cooks while the rest of my employees have 1 or no stars still. BUT I’m sure that’s apart of the game that keeps you playing for longer. Tip I wish I knew sooner is to hit your employees whenever they’re daydreaming! You get ingredients quicker. Highly recommend! Download it!
