[NetEase] Forging Fantasy Birthday Plot Backlash: Organ Donation, Underage NPCs, and Alien Protagonists Spark Controversy

Recently, NetEase's otome game 'For All Time' sparked significant controversy regarding the birthday story event for the character Lu Chen. Instead of a standard celebratory plot, the writers force-fed players a heavy narrative arc centered on organ donation, leaving many confused and exhausted by the 'content overload'.

The main points of contention are clear: the female protagonist is established as an immortal alien, making her sudden interest in organ donation logically absurd. Furthermore, the inclusion of an 8-year-old NPC wanting to donate organs involves legally questionable procedures. Players are baffled as to why the writing team thought this would be a fitting theme for a birthday celebration.

Fans speculate that the writers were merely trying to appear 'cool' or 'edgy' by stuffing heavy themes into the story without proper buildup. The game even attempts to justify these nonsensical turns by claiming the decision was just a 'sudden thought' that appeared in the character's mind, which community members are mocking as lazy and inconsistent writing.
