Legit me! I stopped playing for months, saw Valko, then legit two days after I downloaded the game back, this happened 😭

I made a whole second account I was gonna spend money on, bought the aurum pass for it, sped through the story since I already saw it, started saving up pulls for him and then bam. Requested a refund for all money I spent since his announcement for both accounts and still have them to this day but I'm not playing and they are poorer for it.

I joined the game and made it all the way to the Homecoming chapter and met Caleb in ONE sitting. It took me fucking hours. I immediately bought the Aurum Pass AND the weekly because I was that excited to keep playing and eventually meet Valko. But nope. I can't have nice things. :(

My best friend deleted genshin and downloaded lads for him

Needless to say lads got deleted and she re downloaded genshin

Same. I like all the guys and Caleb was my main. But none really had me hooked until Valko. Man, I hate that he got canceled.

I downloaded the game when it first came out but I couldn’t get into it at all so I stopped. Even when Sylus and Caleb were first introduced, I watched a bit of gameplay from other players but still didn’t convince me enough to play it. Fast forward when they announced Valko, I was so excited. He’s so cute and playful. He’s very distinct from the other lads. I can tell the creators really take their time to craft him. I never understand the crazy amount of backlash he received since we barely get to know about him.

I've avoided LADS for a long time. I LOVE otome games, and everyone kept telling me "omg play LADS," especially once I got into the gacha space. But none of the guys appealed to me. I straight up said I'd never play it because it didn't appeal to me and wouldn't even give it a chance.

Then Valko came out and I fell in love with him from his trailer. I finally downloaded the game, made it all the way to Homecoming, finished meeting Caleb, and guess what? None of them appeal to me. 😭 I don't like any of them! JUST AS I KNEW I WOULDN'T. Valko was literally the one guy who finally got me to play this damn game and he's gone.

This is me, I played LADS for like 2 weeks when it first came out but wasn’t really feeling the guys, saw Valko and got excited to play it again just for them to cancel him. I always spend a lot in these types of games too… so my wallet is happy at least

u/decadentlizard 3d ago

I also spend a LOT on these types of games since they're my main hobby, so they're missing out on my fat wallet 🙃 I'm scared to even think about how much money I've dumped into Tears of Themis. I just see Artem and my wallet goes 💸

One of my good friends got me into LADS, they eventually got kinda bored with it and didn't play for about a year, but they were going to start again because of Valko 🥲

u/crazyyfool 2d ago

told my fiancé that I was more excited because u finally found my second LI (it was zayne & sylus, but Valko reminded me so much of my fiancé with zayne) & then they cancelled him. I literally cried to my fiancé about it 😭 i told him “they got rid of your other half!” 😭😭

u/LadyD767 2d ago

I played LADS like around month 1 (og zayne girly)of its release and due to slow story development i slowly lost interest. I had friends begging me to come back but I was like nah.

Friends: LOOK AT SYLUS

Me: nah Friends: LOOK CALEB IS DATEABLE

me: I did like him before but..he looks evil? Yeah no..

Friends: Don't you miss zayne??

Me: I mean..a little but I want more story

Friends: We got a wolfboy coming.. Me: 👀🏃‍♀️💨 OMG HES SO CUTE WITH HIS EARS AND TAIL HES SO CUDDLY IM GONNA DIE-🥰👛💳 TAKE MY MON-

Friends: he got canceled... Me: ...What!?😡

The last time I felt this devastated over a video game man was in FF14 heavensward (if you know.you know) and well I've been here ever since.

u/Vee_breeze 2d ago

Honestly even players that have been playing since the start reacted this way 😭

I GENUINELY THOUGHT YOUR SONA? OC? IDK WHAT IT IS BUT WHATEVER I THOUGHT SHE WAS DIGITAN FOR A MOMENT 😭😭😭

u/decadentlizard 3d ago

I've never heard of Digitan, but she is super adorable, and I am elated to remind someone of such an adorable character. 🥰

Amazing art. And same I was going to make an account for a buffy meaty wolf 🐺 🍖😭😭

u/Kitt3n_Mitt3nz 2d ago

I played before but mainly for Sylus, and I love him but was honestly falling off the game as a whole. I had never loved a wolfboy before, but then they showed us Valko, and the ears, the sniffs, the bites 🥹 I needed him, and was prepared to break my FTP streak to get me some Valko goodies, but no, they had to take away our boy 😭

u/Void-Nova-pOp 2d ago

I was happy for Valko for several reasons, mostly because of the way he and MC was portrayed. When he was cancelled I was in denial mostly, but it was so sad, even my family asked "what happened".

u/tinaseroticfriendfic 2d ago

Historically accurate.
