A bizarre phenomenon: every fresh review is negative, yet the Bilibili (B站) rating keeps climbing. Welcome to the surreal saga of Azur Promilia's (蓝色星原) score manipulation controversy.
According to the original poster (OP), while the latest reviews for Azur Promilia on Bilibili were overwhelmingly negative, the game's rating mysteriously ticked up from 7.8 to 8.0. The OP claimed to have seen the actual content of those '5-star positive reviews' and argued that even counting those couldn't justify the score increase. They questioned whether this was developer Manjuu's (黄鸡, the affectionate nickname for the studio behind the game) way of 'responding' to recent controversies.
The comment section quickly turned into a forensic investigation. When one commenter demanded 'Did you even look at what those 5-star reviews actually said?', the OP fired back: 'Even if all five-star reviews were genuine positives, the latest batch still isn't enough to push the score up.' The smoking gun came from another player who dropped precise numbers: 'An hour ago, it was ~9,300 positive, nearly 4,000 negative, rated 7.8. Just now: 9,378 positive, 4,562 negative, rated 8.0. Whether scores were altered, you be the judge.' Positive reviews increased by a measly ~78 while negatives surged by nearly 600 — and somehow the rating went UP. The math ain't mathing.
Even more revealing was the observation that so-called '5-star reviews' were actually sarcastic takedowns in disguise — roasts masquerading as praise. One commenter noted these ironic 5-star reviews somehow survived moderation far longer than genuine 1-star critiques. Another player cut straight to the chase: 'They classify negative reviews as 'malicious' to lower their weight on the score. Oldest trick in the book.' The consensus was blunt: 'Score locking? Just Bilibili doing Bilibili things.'
The rating became a rollercoaster. One player reported 'It slipped to 7.9, they couldn't hold it!' — only for another to reply moments later: 'Guess what, back to 8.0.'
By the time the dust settled, players were reporting the rating had climbed to 8.3 and eventually 8.5 — with one commenter sarcastically noting 'The bots are putting in work.' A miraculous comeback from 7.8 to 8.5 amid a flood of negative reviews. Truly the Bilibili scoring system working as intended.
Multiple players immediately drew parallels to Girls' Frontline 2's (少前2) infamous Bilibili rating wars. The recurring refrain was: 'The only lesson these games learned from GFL2 was to ramp up community management (社管) — a Chinese gaming slang for aggressive PR teams that suppress criticism through mass reporting, astroturfing, and pressure on platforms.' Some noted the situations were different in nature — GFL2 had a long-running faction war between 'ship' players and 'waifu collectors' — but the playbook was identical.
The OP's edits dripped with sarcasm: 'Where was all this 'objectivity' and 'fairness' when the review bombing was happening? Now you say the score recovery is natural? Maybe the capitalists suddenly grew a conscience.' They added that as a longtime Azur Lane (碧蓝航线) player, 'Manjuu is fast at groveling but always manages to pull off some dumb stunt.' The controversial character design leaks that triggered the original backlash were also confirmed to be scrapped concepts.
The truth behind this rating saga remains murky. Bilibili has offered zero official explanation, while Azur Promilia's score has climbed from 7.8 all the way to 8.5. With the latest review section now 'conquered' by positive ratings, those once-visible negative reviews seem to be dissolving under some invisible force. Whether this is the platform's algorithm working as intended or yet another textbook case of 社管 (community management manipulation) — only Bilibili knows for sure.
