[Reconciliation? You've got to be joking!]
In Wind Rises Among the Stars' core hater group, everyone erupted into an uproar when they saw the word [reconciliation].
Which one of these haters wasn't a famous figure in the gaming community?
In Above the Stars, players could change their usernames with a rename card, and there were countless ways to alter a character's appearance. But the numerical ID assigned when a character was created could never be changed, no matter what.
The moment other players saw that familiar ID, they'd know that they were veteran Bai Fu haters.
If they claimed they wanted to reconcile with Bai Fu now, even if Bai Fu accepted them, the players on her side wouldn't.
—You're here to spy on us, aren't you?
—Reconcile, my ass! I'll twist your head right off!
To avoid being recognized by Fu Sect players, their only option was to delete their accounts and start over.
Come on.
Version 2.3 was right around the corner. If they deleted their accounts and started over now, they'd probably have to lie low until version 3.1 before they could experience the main storyline. What was the point of playing then?
Nobody in the core hater group was willing to start over.
Amid the heated discussion, Wind Rises Among the Stars stood up once again.
Wasn't that exactly the point?
If direct reconciliation wasn't an option, and nobody wanted to start over, then what the hell were they still chattering about?
So what if Bai Fu was the protagonist? In Above the Stars, protagonists didn't have plot armor. They could get hurt, get sidelined as the story progressed, or even die in an accident.
It was up to them, everyone.
Bai Fu had the upper hand at the start of version 2.3, but it wasn't
