Drama: Mobile Game Caught Using Honkai: Star Rail Protagonist's Head for Promotional Art

A new controversy has emerged regarding the mobile game 'Aola Star' (奥奇传说). Netizens have pointed out that a promotional image released by the game appears to be a direct trace or edit of the male protagonist from 'Honkai: Star Rail'. It seems the developers merely 'pasted' the protagonist's head onto their character and performed a basic color swap.

The comment section exploded, with many users identifying the developer as a 'repeat offender' known for tracing and asset theft in the industry. Commenters sarcastically remarked on the lack of effort, suggesting the developer steals because the legal penalties for copyright infringement are too light.

Players noted that even the specific strands of hair match perfectly, calling the developer out for their lazy 'Frankenstein-style' design. Some quipped that while the head model is technically identical, it only looks good in its original context, whereas, in this knock-off promotional art, it looks entirely out of place.
