Gui Long Chao's Male MC Exposed as a Fake Dragon — Official Interview Dropped the Hint All Along, Players Roast: 'No Wonder He Has No Waifu, He's a Fraud'

The male protagonist of a gacha game gets exposed as a 'fake dragon' by players — welcome to Gui Long Chao's latest pre-launch PR disaster. Here's what happened: players dug up an early developer interview that established 'real dragons' in the game's lore have golden pupils. But the male MC's eyes? Definitely not golden. The uncomfortable conclusion: the lead character of a game literally named 'Tide of Returning Dragons' might not even be a real dragon himself.

The original poster delivered the killing blow with zero mercy: 'The male MC clearly isn't a real dragon — no wonder he's the only one without a love interest. Turns out he's just a scrub.' A perfectly aimed roast that hit Gui Long Chao's biggest weakness: a protagonist with zero romantic subplot who might not even be what the entire game's lore promises.

Someone tried to push back: 'Wrong — he's actually stronger than real dragons. Look at Neuvillette from Genshin, his eyes aren't golden either.' The commenter attempted to use Genshin Impact's Neuvillette as a defense, implying non-golden eyes ≠ weak. Unfortunately for the MC's reputation, this copium didn't land.

But the real comedy gold came from something entirely different. A staggering number of commenters couldn't even tell the protagonist was supposed to be MALE. 'There's a guy in this picture? Which one is the guy?' 'I thought the first character was a butch girl (铁T).' 'That doesn't look like a man at all — I almost thought those were breasts.' One after another, players expressed genuine confusion over the MC's gender, demolishing his visual design credibility. Someone even compared him to Ayanokouji from Classroom of the Elite — 'just the same character with dyed hair' — cold and stoic, sure, but where are the masculine features?

One player dropped Tekken 8 screenshots of hulking muscular fighters to 'give the waifu crowd a reality check,' creating a hilariously brutal contrast. And there's more salt in the wound: a commenter revealed that the previous beta didn't even have a playable male protagonist — the gender option existed but was locked to female only. That's right, the devs shipped a gender toggle that didn't work. Real confidence in their male MC design right there.

The top-voted comment summed up the NGA sentiment perfectly: 'Don't worry, everyone's happy when this game dies — the more new content, the weirder, the better.' Classic NGA behavior: grab popcorn and enjoy the chaos. The next beta test is literally tomorrow — can Gui Long Chao's male MC stage a comeback? Judging by the community's mood, that's some premium-grade hopium.
