Well, technically I don't play too often nowadays because of work but I have learned about the latest news for LaDS as some of my online friends are playing it. Gotta admit... their recent announcement ticks me off. Felt bad for those who are looking forward for the supposed new LI (Love Interest). What's your opinion about it.
LaDS current ish :(

Ohh girl tell me about it. It just goes to show that CN players have infold by their balls and know that if they complain enough, infold will do as they want since they make up over 50% of LADS fanbase. Granted I think the 731 numbering was definitely something that needed to be addressed... but not by DELETING VALKO FROM EXISTENCE
Oh and guess who was the japanese VA for Valko? Fucking KASAMA JUN!!! The beautiful wondrous and sexy voice of Kasama Jun... will now never be heard as Valko again
im irritated as FUCK

Not that I understand it fully, but something like this:
New LI is presented → some people are excited, some not so much (for various reason). Players complain that before adding new character why old LI's story is not updated and gameplay is laggy and buggy → Company apologises and promises there will be no new LIs in the future. → Old LIs' story is still not updated. QoL are not added. Everyone is unhappy (we are here)

So complaining made the situation worse for everyone?
A classic!

I'm honestly pretty sad about it.
People have been criticizing the lack of content and how uneven things have felt between the LIs, and Infold's first response being to remove Valko and seemingly shut down any chance of a future sixth LI just feels... weird.
It doesn't really address what people have been asking for. It comes across more like a punishment than an actual response to the criticism. I would've much rather seen them reassure everyone about future content and better balance instead.

I'm so mad!!! The other guys are fine and all but Valko was the only character I could say was my actual type and preference. Then they remove him!! We will NEVER get to have him, but the original issues people had with the game remain unaddressed. He was a scapegoat.

It's honestly dissapointing, I was looking forward to the new LI.
But honestly it has grown out of proportion, I've read that someone in the goverment blames otome games for the declining birth rates and wants the game gone, I hope it doesn't escalate more.

This is like the third LADs thread I've seen about this drama lol, not going to bother repeating what I said in those threads again, I'm so tired lmao
I mentioned this in another thread. I think that's just fearmongering and would take this with a grain of salt, especially when these rumors are spread by mostly non-CN players or people who don't live in China who are basing this off of previous bans and censorships. Which are a whole lot different can than this situation.
And if they banned the otome genre, they would be banning depictions of hetero relationships lmao. Gaming companies and indie developers could get over the ban by stating "this is a romance game for everyone and not an otome even though the MC is a woman." How on earth are they going to enforce a complete ban on that other than banning all depictions of romance or even implications of romance? I highly doubt banning depicting women as the main character in general would even work either.
I think that in the worst case scenario that the government even does something to genre (and I hope it doesn't come to that), they would enforce some censorship and regulations such as "MCs in otome games can't be self-inserts" and "you can't depict your love interests doing something problematic in any way and must portray them in this specific manner."
