Sharing this writeup blogpost by @JIN_Yamashina that has perfectly encapsulated all the feelings I have regarding the choices infold has made, specifically taking tender and important moments of Sylus to promote their new lead:
“"You should know very well that I adore you. There is no love purer than mine."
That is Sylus. That is a declaration earned across multiple lifetimes, delivered by an immortal being […] who has chosen to hold his bond loosely, to wait, to suppress his deadliest reflexes, to stand outside her door and rebuild trust from nothing, in a timeline where she remembers not a single one of their shared lives. The purity in that line is not innocence. It is not simplicity. It is the controlled combustion of a force that could incinerate everything, choosing patience, for her, specifically, again and again.
[….] That is what has been extracted and reapplied to a character we know almost nothing about, whose PV shows us, in its very first moments, exactly what kind of love this will actually be.
The corporate statement of June 29 completes this analysis. By uniformly substituting the predatory original text 引狼入室 with the sanitised administrative label 纯爱狼王, PaperGames confirmed in writing that "pure love" is not a narrative arc earned through story. It is a brand-safety mechanism. The correction was not a creative revision; it was a legal one. The vocabulary was not changed because it was wrong for the character — it was changed because it was embarrassing in print. What the company has revealed is that purity, in their internal taxonomy, is a post-backlash coating applied to whatever the underlying product turns out to be. Sylus's declaration was never inspiration. It was inventory.”
