After about 150 puzzles, I think I've played enough to where I can give an opinion on this game. There's not a lot to it, it's Picross, it's Vocaloid. I am a very big fan of both of these things, and I enjoy this game decently enough.
I'll start with the positives, obviously the puzzles are fun, and the art is all pretty cute. The special puzzles, where you solve 25 individual boards to fill in a complete image, are probably my favorite part of this game. I thought I would have more to say on this aspect, but it's just Picross, not much else to it, cool game.
I do have just a few small problems with it that I can talk about, though. Probably the worst offender, the music selection is shockingly lackluster, which is never something you'd want to say about a Vocaloid game. They're good tracks, but there's only 18 of them, and only one will ever play during actual puzzle gameplay at a time. There's no way to make some sort of playlist to shuffle through while solving, which can make whatever you choose start to get a bit repetitive very quickly.
The Picross part of Logic Paint S, while I did praise it earlier for being... Picross, does somehow manage to get a few things wrong. The controls are incredibly slippery, which by itself shouldn't be that big of a deal. A minor annoyance, but not something that should ever get in the way... is what I would say, if it weren't for the fact that the game automatically blocks any and all mistakes you might make, counting it as a 'miss.' I get why, there's still stars to obtain throughout each level, but I would much prefer being able to fix my mistakes on my own, maybe after filling in a bit more and realizing where I went wrong that way. This, combined with the slippery controls I brought up, can make for some frustrating misplays that more often than not are completely unintentional.
The game also starts to feel less and less like a Vocaloid game the longer it goes on? I realize that with 345 puzzles to work on, you're bound to run out of notable items eventually, but it really doesn't take long before pictures become just basic items or animals, which may or may not relate in some way to the image you're given for the gallery after completion.
It's a bit of a middling Picross game, with a topic I enjoy very much, but I wouldn't call it bad. Picross is Picross, 6/10. I definitely wasn't expecting this game to have as much as it does.
