Unknown will end on Tuesday, June 16th.
Thanks for hanging in there with these long breaks. I'm outlining and writing the rest of the chapters all the way to end so it concludes on this very specific date for a reason, and want to make sure the timing lands just right!

A CN player is openly admitting that the backlash against Valko was a deliberate pressure tactic — not genuine feedback. They admit the complaints weren't real, that stirring up outside public opinion was part of the strategy, and that now that the goal has been achieved, other players should stay quiet so the global community doesn't find out.
Their words, not mine. Read the translation.
Papergames didn't cancel Valko because of legitimate player concerns. They caved to a manufactured campaign. And the people behind it are celebrating.
We're still here. We're not going anywhere.

@Celebrest@LuciaChan0119 Hey, it seems like you've never played this game, as there has always been a "Coming Soon" indicator for the 6th Love Interest. Beyond that, the game User Interface is made for 6 names. There's 6 stella. It has ALWAYS meant to be 6.
@JayShan0506 According to your fellow CN players, 80% of y'all don't read Main Story updates anyway, y'all just collect cards for rewards. So this was NEVER about slow MS updates and ALWAYS about y'all just hating Valko for whatever reason
Chinese players claiming 80% of them don't read the Main Story, yet they also are claiming Main Story updates are too slow. ONCE AGAIN, this is further proof CN players just hated Valko and wanted any excuse to get rid of him.
@yanxi_wxi So you don't really care for the witing of the main story line, but you're suddenly super invested and upset about something that has bee an issue since April. And not only that, one of the main claims to stop Valko's release is that the main story isn't updated so regularly??
@Kawa0880@yanxi_wxi Also it wasn't promotional for Valko. The pot line is PROMOTING THE KITCHEN! WHICH IS STILL A FEATURE IN THE GAME! This is once again proof they cherry pick and twist things to fit their narrative to get rid of Valko.
@Kawa0880@yanxi_wxi It's all excuses, seriously. Their reasoning and logic is so scattered and weak, it literally makes no sense. I'm BAFFLED at how anyone can think what they do with some of these points. I swear it's the level of cope and delusion I see in supporters of the orange man in office.
@SeaKitten0@SapphicNPetty@yanxi_wxi Girl, "never add LIs midway"?? Sylus was added midway. Caleb was added midway? What is this denial you're in about Valko being a surprise when literally the rest of the world saw it coming and we were just waiting for the when.
@SapphicNPetty@yanxi_wxi Literally stopped ready after only 5 were promised and it was a female game. It's still a game for women and it has ALWAYS been understood we would have six LIs
@bihanshairtie@hiirazhou I really need proof of this cause I have yet to see a single scrap of evidence and the narrative keeps changing based on who I hear it from. When and how did Papergames themselves make or partner with any BL content? 😐
@roubbit_@RunawayStar__ But their apology did mention it? They stated that a number presented since April had been changed and that it was inexcusable that it was in the game in the first place, that their QC needs improvement?
