Chaos Zone Zero Controversy explained
I've been collecting data from KR forums to fully understand what happened. In summary:
>New gacha
>Hype themselves up, they spent 40 mil USD, multiple endings for each char etc
>Some of art look AI generated
>Tiny pecker handsymbol controversy
>Launch
>Players admiral of a spaceship, but despite high rank MC is incompetent, contributes nothing, constantly berated by rude female cast(Reminder, Koreans are very sensitive about military hierarchy due to mandatory conscription)
>To add to the fuel, a femboy character-everyone's frens with him, girls flirt with him, until last chapter girls do 360 and suddenly approach MC
>MC gets stabbed trying to save femboy, none of cast cares
>Users feel as if they're an observer extra and femboy is main character-playing game is like sitting on a cuck stool
>Google Play reviews flooded with obvious shills
>There's even more! Turns out JP and EN vers. have different, normal dialogue where MC isn't tossed around like a beta
>Users dig deeper, find out story was OG planned to be Lovecraftian timetravel postapocalyptic horror, with in-depth game mechanics(the femboy was MC's SON!)
>But devs found that too complex, and bullied writer(webnovel author) out of company
>Director vs female writers fight to take control of storyboard(leak shows snippets of director's script, MC jokes about SexEd to heroine)-each side wants to link main heroine with THEIR self insert(Slitty eyed villain vs the femboy)
>Result: half-baked plot made in 2 months
>After backlash, director announces they will rewrite whole story-JPN and NA users bewildered
>Claim girls will only romance MC from now on, but in official manhwa most romance femboy, and only girl who was nice to MC ingame gets BL***ED
