Gossip: 'Code鸢' Sun Ce Plot Sparks Controversy; Historical Fans vs. Otome Players Clash

Recently, the otome game 'Code鸢' (Code鸢) has sparked a firestorm in the community due to its portrayal of the character Sun Ce. Players are perplexed by the writers' choices, which seem to disregard traditional Three Kingdoms lore and established character dynamics. Fans of historical fanfiction, in particular, find these 'creative modifications' difficult to stomach.

In the comment section, users didn't hold back. Critics labeled the protagonist a 'Frankenstein-like' character (a 'sew-up monster') for taking over parts of Da Qiao's narrative arc. Furthermore, revelations that the character Xiao Qiao is depicted as a 'fujoshi' (a fan of boys' love) who writes prohibited literature about Zhou Yu left many fans bewildered, with some joking that the plot is so absurd it would never pass official domestic censorship.
