Today, NetEase's *Onmyoji* released a preview for new skins, but a specific announcement regarding 'paid effects' has triggered a massive backlash within the community.
Players pointed out that these new effects are essentially just lazy 'recolors' sold for 38 RMB. The original poster argued that this is a blatant money-grab, especially since existing in-game currency used for aesthetic customization has been accumulating without a proper outlet for years. Previously, such effects were unlockable for free, leading players to believe the developers have completely forgotten how to monetize fairly.
The comment section is filled with complaints, with players mocking the 'zen' (a derogatory nickname for the *Onmyoji* management team) for resorting to desperate measures to keep revenue afloat. Many veterans noted that these 'recolored' effects look extremely derivative compared to previous free, high-quality designs. Others expressed frustration that while they hold thousands of useless items meant for aesthetic unlocks, they are now forced to pay extra for low-effort assets, which many describe as a 'nasty way to eat' (a Chinese slang for predatory monetization).
