Full review below with likes and dislikes, but TLDR: the game tags and/or game page needs to give people a better idea of what they're playing.

That was... strange. The beginning of the grand speech was humorous and refreshing, I quite liked it. It was unexpected and a little snarky. As it went on, some of it was nice and thoughtful, like a good friend motivating you to make the most of your life and go get what you deserve!

But as it went on, the sarcasm switched from funny, to derisive and aggressive. It's like getting on the metro, minding your own business, only for some judgemental old man on the metro to launch, unprovoked, into an extensive (and oddly specific?) sermon. He doesn't know the first thing about you, but he's got a chip on his shoulder that makes him feel qualified to tell you all about your own life and all the ways you're doing it wrong, all because of... the kind of book that you pulled out of your backpack. Or because you're playing Tetris on your phone.

To someone like me, that's simply annoying to put up with, but to many people in the comments, it was actually hurtful. If that many people are negatively affected by what was supposed to be a fun experience, there's a problem.

Still! Many people in the comments enjoyed and appreciated this game too, so the problem isn't the message or tone of the game itself; it's the lack of proper tagging or other indication of the content in the game. Variety is good! Options and twists and different kinds of humor and tough love are all good to have -- just please mark your content appropriately, so that the people that it isn't good for aren't tricked into consuming something very different than what they actually signed up for. Unfortunately, a warning for strong language and "this is not a serious game" does not tell people enough.

(I hope I broke up the review into easy to read and follow chunks without too much redundancy; I personally struggle to read bland or rambling walls of text so I try to avoid that kind of thing for others with the same problem.)
