Weibo Users Voice Disappointment Over Altered Character in Chinese Mobile Game

Weibo users have recently expressed their disappointment and frustration over the depiction of a character in the Chinese mobile game "Love and Night's Story." The character, named Qi Sili, has been depicted in a manner that is different from his original design and story background, leading fans to speak out against the decision.

In a series of tweets, Weibo users have questioned the game's creators' decision to alter Qi Sili's appearance and personality. One user wrote, "Qi Sili is not just the reason for the drama. Why does the only person in five people who has been on the battlefield now be unarmed? Just a question, O'Lighthead, why are you showing our Qi Sili kneeling, undressed and beaten in public during the Lunar New Year?"

Another user expressed their disappointment with the changes, writing, "Who cares about the character card? Whoever draws Qi Sili's character card is acceptable. The idea that Qi Sili is the lucky one is also acceptable. But is it so difficult to draw him as a man? He is a god, it's so hard to draw his divinity, his noble looks?"

These tweets and others like them highlight the frustration felt by Chinese mobile game fans over changes to their favorite characters. In addition to altering Qi Sili's appearance, fans have also criticized the game's creators for changing the character's background story, which is said to have caused tensions between the game's various fan groups.

Some users have accused the game's creators of deliberately targeting Qi Sili's fan base, with one writing, "Who is even upset that Qi Sili is the focus of the drama? Even though it's not his main setting, in the ancient setting, it's still reasonable. But what about giving his name to others? The game's creators have even labeled the only setting characters that belong to him as 'exclusive,' what is going on? Are they trying to provoke 7 fan groups or what?"

Others have expressed their dissatisfaction with the game's creators, with one user writing, "What's with the frustration over Qi Sili? Who needs to be embodied by the game's creators? The creators themselves need to get in touch!"

In response to the controversy, the game's creators have issued an apology and promised to make changes to Qi Sili's appearance and story background. However, this has not been enough to satisfy many fans, who continue to express their frustration and disappointment on Weibo.

Overall, the controversy surrounding the depiction of Qi Sili in "Love and Night's Story" highlights the importance of staying true to the original design and story of a character in order to maintain the loyalty of fans. It also demonstrates the power of social media in expressing the collective frustration of fans when a character's appearance or story is altered in a way that they feel is unjustified.
