#leiftan spin off

[isatisnn]

Leiftan: I've always liked chasing you.

Erika: (Blushed, my gaze fix into his)

We know baby <3

Sweet memories. btw do you remember the spin off? Baby's a cute stalker and I love him for that.

Hello, how are you?, first of all thank you thank you thank you very much for writing a Valkyon route, it's amazing, you were able to capture the old versions of Lance, Valk and Leif and I love that. You recently responded with a guy ranking you like from the Otomes you played and I was wondering what your feelings are about Leiftan.

You're sweet thank you 🥰

Leiftan... eh... my feelings for him are complicated because I don’t like liars, I can't stand that he lied to Erika for most of TO. (Also I don’t like his clothes, yeah I'm shallow like that, however that balances with the fact that he's really pretty). On the other hand, the few times we saw him being unapologetically honest I loved him. I really liked those scenes in his spin-off and I think I could’ve seriously fallen for him if he'd been allowed to be himself for longer.

Keep in mind that we only saw his fake façade until episode 20 and that's pretty much around the time the game was taken from Chino. She worked on his spin-off herself though so really, the only real example of Leiftan’s true personality is his spin-off. Everything that comes before is his fake mask, and everthing that comes after is whatever the new scenarist thought he should be.

I wish we'd had time to know the real Lefitan, I would’ve been in serious danger 😔

In this sense he has been even more unlucky than Lance, because Lance never hid his personality so all the Ashkore scenes we had with him were his real self. Consequently, he was still mostly in character when Chino left and the old writer was working on the game, (episodes 22-29). It’s basically just ANE that destroyed him. Of real Leiftan, instead, will remain only his spinoff.

List of people Leiftan will not kill for now doesn't hate:

-Eweleïn

-Kero

-Kids

That's it.

[deadendlily]

Hello,

I made a walkthrough for the Leiftan spin off. I’m following Ezarel’s road, so... expect a lot of drama LOL. But honestly, I’m starting to be in love with both of them. Chosing between them was so hard, and I’m still considering doing a replay to follow Leiftan’s road. 

Anyway, here’s the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uKUyIR-jFE

Thanks !

Critique of Eldarya - Part 1

CHROME SPIN-OFF GROOMING

I would like to preface this by stating that I used to love Erika as a character, and thought of her occasional stupidity as flaws of imperfection, which I welcome in characters because I dislike Mary Sues. I’ve since heavily changed my mind on her as I’ve come to witness more and more of it and understood that something within her is rotten and that she still gets labelled to be a “hero”, when she has fundemental flaws and a questionable moral compass. This post constitutes one of the many instances that led me to dissociate from Eldarya’s MC and create my very own OC, whose behaviour is canonically separate from that of Erika. 

Let us take a look at one of Chrome’s Monchon Effect spin-off’s last scenes: 

Erika: “Chrome’s hands slid behind my back to press me against him.”

Erika: “He then hid his face in the crook of my neck.”

Erika: “I adventured myself into giving him a sweet kiss on his cheek to reassure him and show him that I was there for him, if needed.

The last thing a minor who’s opening up about his literal dead parents needs if for you to use his vulnerability as an invitation to further explore the attraction-wise ambiguous territory. 

Erika: “I was totally troubled by the suave tone of his voice...”

Again, why is a child’s “suave” voice tone troubling you? Had any adult claimed to be troubled by my little brother’s voice, and described it as suave, heads would roll.

Erika: “I, too, wrapped my arms around his body and I felt him to tighten his grip on me. His warm breath caressed my neck.”

Honestly, who speaks of a child and says “around his body” when trying to comfort them. Wouldn’t a normal person say around him? The emphasis she puts on their physical touch and contact is absolutely disconcerting. Also don’t get me started on her rant about his warm breath and how it “caresses” her neck. 

Chrome: “Merci... You’re by far the most adorable people I’ve ever known.”

Erika: “Chrome...”

Erika: 

A) “I know that this isn’t reasonable, but I want to enjoy these moments in his arms.”

B) “By fear of what could occur, I let myself out of his arms.”

You know it’s not reasonable? But you judge it best to do it anyway because of your... desire to feel his embrace? Let me ask you this, Erika, what COULD occur between a literal minor and you, a clear-mind, conscious adult, if you hadn’t let yourself out of his arms?

Chrome: “Erika...”

Erika: “I can feel my cheeks burning.”

END OF SCENE

I’m apalled. I’ve contacted Beemoov numerous times for them to adress this, and I’ve done it politely, but their active avoidance of the issue is maddening. I’m tired of being told that the message was passed to superiors, only for no changes to arise. I’ve asked for an apology on the nature of this scene, a trigger warning for literal grooming to the very least, and for necessary changes to occur, but nothing was done. Instead, they ignore messages and pass the message onto others, until no one can be blamed for the lack of concrete actions.

The issue remains, and it is not the first time we come across minor-adult attraction-based ambiguity/relationship in the game (ex: Colaia and Jamon, which I will address in a second part of this critique). The message it sends to players, some of which are about Chrome’s then age (as 16 y/o are allowed to play) is extremely harmful. It dedramatizes grooming, and normalizes it in a way that could lead some victims of it to not be aware of inappropriateness of such thoughts and actions on an adult’s part. Unacceptable. 

I’ve been pretty vocal about my lack of association and empathy for Eldarya’ original MC Erika (a university graduate) for various reasons, but this is a line I’d never have expected her to cross. I cannot and will not associate with her quasi-criminal actions, and find it absolutely disgusting that Beemoov shoves it down our throats. It’s hard to enjoy a game when your character (OC) is so heavily associated with the MC, whose canon actions are despicable. There is much more to dislike about her, but this is on a whole other level. Erika being a predator is NOT okay, despite Chrome’s inability to see the situation for what it is. He was an impressive, vulnerable child whose “looking adult” incident (subject of the spin-off) was about his sentiment of being unattractive and his negative self-perception. Erika used that to satisfy her own touch-deprivation or whatnot. I cannot excuse that, nor will I ever do. 

I am well aware that due to prior choices during the spin-off, the cost of the spin-off and the fact that it IS a spin-off about Chrome instead of an LI, not everyone knew about this turn of events. In fact, some players were not even offered this scenario, but a shorter one (they were spared). However, if you just now know, I urge you to let me know if you would be willing to support me in bringing this to Beemoov’s attention. By myself, nothing occurs, and my messages are, again, either ignored or passed onto others until no one actually answers. I would be polite one more time, but I’d remain firm as this is not the first time I’ve spoken to them about such content. 

Final point, can we talk about how they charged us for this? Making profit off of a traumatizing life experience is so, so low. 

Let me know what you think of this all. 

I’ve tagged you if you once asked me about this issue in other posts, to which I said I was going to make a post to address the issue (here it finally is): @momiyi-chan @velleitxs

Ok mais pourquoi Erika fait cette tête ridicule 90% du temps ?

“ I'm surrounded by Idiots...“

[aokane-eldarya]

A player, a few weeks ago : “Leiftan manipulates the gardienne to fall in love with him because it's part of his machiavellian plans!” Spin off : *Leiftan did not foresee the arrival of Erika* *He was not aware of her connection with the Oracle* *He's trying to cut that link* *He spends all the spin off saying he loves her* *He does everything to help her without her knowing* *He promises to never manipulate her and respect her decision.* The same player, now : “I maintain what I said, he is not in love with her, he uses her, he manipulates her!”

Me : 

I have never felt so embarrassed for anyone.

[hsakurausasuke]

Chino, if you see this, we love Leiftan (some of us at least), please, don't hear the people that hate him.

Keep my baby alive

[rinsy-o]

what an idiot

[nelielombrelune]

Ezarel embarassment with a new human in the HQ.

Ez : Tell me, would there be a way to make the human pass the test again ?

Leif : I don’t get it.

Ez : She knows nothing about alchemy and I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to teach her everything.

Leif : the tests were clear, she is made for this guard.

Ez : She answered randomly at almost every questions...

Leif : It would not be the first time. Trust the tests and yourself. You’re an excellent teacher.

Ez : Hmm... It’s not just... I...

Leif : You ?

Ez : nothing. Ignore it.

(He left without a word. Ezarel is a very strange person.)

Not only Chrome spin-off,i was extremey bothered on nevra's route how gardienne glamourises pain and not consent.nevra didnt want to bite her and she was all the time kinda forcing him.

please,dont let that fucked up bitch to get close to me.

Hey Anon! :) Thank you for pointing that out.

I was already working on a part two of my critique which spoke of her lack of respect of her partner’s boundaries, which???? Beemoov literally makes it a point to make the guys ask if we are ready, but somehow that doesn’t apply to her? 

I was quite um tired of always reading about her sexually masochistic tendencies every single time Nevra bit her, but I was going to let it slide as I don’t take this as canon for MY gardienne. However, those that one time she literally force-fed Nevra in episode 29??? I had to close the tab for a second. It reminded me of the question of consent of needed blood transfusion among Jehovah witnesses in Canada (given that they cannot receive blood that isn’t theirs, if I recall correctly), the supreme court decision was that their choice must be respected, regardless of the need for blood transfusion. This is exactly how I see it, if Nevra needs blood, you don’t force him when you see him hesitate. You can speak to him, reassure him of your willingness, but for you to simply disregard his view of it, not adress it and shove your sliced arm to his mouth is fucked up. Also why does she always slice her arm??? Like,,, he has fangs, girly. 

Leiftan was also subjected to that in another episode, but I’d rather keep it for the critique because I need to provide greater context for other readers. 

I’ll provide screenshots to support this, too. 

But yes, very good point, one I agreed with to begin with. So glad to see I wasn’t the only one to notice!
