Not sure what Stars do... it seems like they're Achievement Points or something? I feel like I've been able to purchase more Date items as I've progressed, so it might have to do with that.

Butterflies are for "PvP" contests while they're active. You get a small amount from dates/sex, a moderate amount from upgrading your skills with nectar, and a large amount from spending real money or buying gifts for girls (which coast Crystals... ie. real money).

The good news is you can get "Silver" chests fairly easily as a F2P player. The bad news (and why I'm writing this) is that (seemingly) even the Event/Contest girls require picture storage to actually see once you've unlocked them, making the whole exercise rather pointless anyway.

I started this game about a week ago, then quit when the money-grubbing became so obvious, but decided to give it another try when this event starting, thinking: "hey, maybe it's one of those games that you just play for the event rewards if you're F2P," but nope. I'd still need hundreds of crystals to unlock the relevant pictures (and you can't even choose which ones to unlock).

What gets me is the game itself is sort of fun, and I feel like they'd actually make /more/ money if it wasn't so ridiculously and obviously greedy, but what can you do.
