Recently, 'Light and Night' sparked significant controversy at the CP29 anime convention. Attempting to recreate the viral fame one of its leads, Charlie, gained during the beta phase with 'cringe-worthy' billionaire tropes, the official team splashed out on a prime booth location. However, the decor—which players likened to a 'nightclub' or 'host club'—complete with half-naked character standees and live cosplayers, was seen as tacky and embarrassing by the community.
What angered fans even more was the poor quality of the hired cosplayers, who allegedly sported 'pot bellies' and 'double chins' that did not match the polished character art. Players compared this to a rival game, 'Tears of Themis,' which previously opted for 'chibi-head masks' paired with sharp suits—a brilliant move that kept the models stylish without risking a bad face reveal. Critics slammed the 'Light and Night' organizers for failing to copy a successful strategy effectively.
As the backlash grew, the official account attempted to steer the narrative, but eagle-eyed users caught them 'forgetting to switch accounts' (a common blunder in China where staff forget to switch from an official account to a burner/bot account), cementing the PR disaster. Commenters shrugged, noting this is typical behavior for a Tencent property, while mocking the official team for being so brazenly unprofessional in their attempt to manipulate social media sentiment.
