Though he was a charismatic speaker, he often descended into long enthusiastic rambles about science, heaven, or games. He enjoyed the public eye, as well as being in the spotlight at parties. He was an outspoken and devout Kirvan.

The company was criticized for inflating its prices on several occasions. Prayers of HealingTM were difficult to afford for lower-to-middle class citizens[according to whom?]. For Prayers of AbundanceTM, farmers owed Infinite Wishes 80% of profits above the previous year's yield. In a public statement, co-owner Enacra Masue rebuffed the criticism, saying "Even if we increased the charge to 99%, farmers would still profit from our technology. Without our smart business decisions, IW would never have grown into the institution it is today."
In late , the Shantine government acquired research rights in Infinite Wishes in return for an undisclosed amount of money.
