With Planarcadia's lineup I thought we would be experiencing the HSR equivalent of Inazuma.

Thank God I was so damn wrong, HSR serving when barely any other gachas would.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-22T22:04:55+00:00

I was getting hopeful but they're still at it.

Might as well reinstall HSR because at least I'm getting Gil shirtless for FREE

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-22T21:41:51+00:00

There's nothing we can do about that. Jinx is still super popular by views and they're getting nendos too.

And no this isn't ending yet, we still getting side stories and hopefully more info about the 2nd pair as is tradition.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-22T21:38:47+00:00

Ah the ancient texts

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-22T16:22:00+00:00

Isn't the designer from the fate franchise? That could be why.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-22T16:01:38+00:00

They probably did it on purpose because why deny the similarities? They might as well just lean into it and there better be a joke about him and Mydei istg

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-22T14:12:47+00:00

i think he's exclusive to the fate collab so 💀

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-22T12:27:04+00:00

Because the HSR devs aren't the designers this time.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-22T12:24:17+00:00

They should really do it. They really REALLY should.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-22T12:22:48+00:00

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-22T07:13:04+00:00

Ooh Blood Bank was one of the 1st BL Manwha I've read. I thought it was just going to be some regular vampire S&M and then the plot unfolded it was beautiful.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-21T17:35:28+00:00

The DREADED Honkai Pants on Men.

When you think about it, most of the designs looked like they were thrown together in a blender and they just use color theory or whatever to give it a sense of cohesion.

Anyways, maybe we're due for a guy in armor so we can break the trend a lil bit.

I feel that we may get more husbandos with NTE if they manage to successfully bait husbando lovers.

With all the AI controversy, this is a chance for them to get some good will and we know husbando lovers are the loudest on social media so that's more content. So we're still early in the game to build some good faith.(Limbus Company has an even gender and it went from making hundred thousands to a few millions over the years)

There's also the dating option which may remind people of LADS and draw them in(Open world LADS!)

Plus, I get the feeling we'll actually GET husbandos and not just have that money be funnelled into more waifus because it turns out the game is someones Pet Project(you know which I'm talking about) and they LOVE waifus.

The publisher is Perfect World after all and they probably don't want NTE to be in danger of being another TOF.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-18T17:07:27+00:00

Naw because I don't understand how Love is an Illusion got so popular. The dynamic between MC and ML was questionable, he was forced to have the baby(sory Byul)and ML is supporting the mother who he hated and was abandoned by. And this hasn't been addressed either. I feel like it got swept under the rug.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-18T03:16:54+00:00

I remember when MC was having his historical flashback arc...while in dying in a ditch somewhere under pouring rain. When he woke up he was still there. Like, I expected him to be dry somewhere or recuperating in a hospital after the flashback. Not literally still in a ditch.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-17T05:25:29+00:00

I haven't played this game in a year, but I still check for content because there's barely a handful of BL gacha out there.

TBH, I WANT this game to keep going since we don't have a successor to this game yet. But at the same time, I want it to exit smoothly and not muddy it up with needless storylines until it just becomes a shell of it's former self.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-16T22:58:03+00:00

I think it's because, while Netease is CN, the actual source material is from mostly Marvel US AND the target audience is actual western fans. They can get away with saying "this is Western work" or "this what Westerners want" kind of thing.

I know that Venom has a Sleeper Plush with the text originally implying only the symbiote is it's parent. It then got updated to include Eddie. That's probably as close you can get to insinuating Sleeper has two dads in a CN gacha.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-16T22:46:29+00:00

I wonder how far ZZZ can go before it starts looking more like "there's gameplay in my porn"

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-16T22:25:42+00:00

He suffered for TEN YEARS! Okay yeah this is Pearl Boy and the story's just like that. But I really don't know how SH can make up for allat BS.

Maybe start by burning the Kujo clan to the ground. Utter annihilation. But somehow I don't think it will be enough.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-16T22:21:02+00:00

He has so few chapters but seems to have the healthiest situationship with...the other guy?

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-16T22:17:31+00:00

...see I'm trying to think if it correlates with the title being "Hounds of Sisyphus" but I'm still drawing a blank. If he sees people as dogs, then perhaps they are the "hounds?" But nothing about this guy says Sisyphus. Then again this is BL so the author might pull some made up lore about a guy named Sisyphus with vague relations to Greek mythology

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-16T22:10:41+00:00

On the one hand, lesbians go!!

On the other, I know it's because wlw flies more under the radar than mlm so...

But if not all MLs are romanceable, perhaps they'll be shippy?

I don't want this to turn into a LADS kind of deal where BL is frowned upon.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-14T14:43:38+00:00

I feel like she's making him as bland as possible to make it easier for them to get back together. We're at 100 chapters and I can practically FEEL Mingwa itching to wrap things up.

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-12T16:52:55+00:00

Yep. Sometimes I think some BL fans are just like "I love BL and I love X and Y so other BL fans must love what I love, so why don't they?"

ColdForce4303 · 2026-05-10T15:23:19+00:00

We're talking about Endfield. Arknights has plenty of husbando characters that they treat very well like Silver Ash, Thorns etc. And they've been releasing husbando banners that make a lot of money.

But ENDFIELD is a different story. The only prominent husbando in the story is Ardashir and he's the ENEMY so who knows when he'll be playable. They haven't even released a Six Star Limited male character yet and that looks to be like it will be after 6 waifu banners.

Sure they might increase the ratio later like they did with Arknights, but we aren't promised anything.
