Let me tell you how I met wakfu:
It was 2019, I guess. I watched first episode out of excitement and curiousity but then I started to dislike it a little. Because of how they drew Evangelyne and Amaliaโs clothes (one is a bland archer and other wears a forest bikini). Then I started to search itโs fandom. As I expected, people ship Percedal and Eva together. Same thing goes for Yugo and Amalia. I actually expected this two ships to canon cause thatโs what usually happens. ฤฐt was before I got hurt by fandom shipping.
Anyway, I watched episode 2 as well. I was about to watch episode 3 but I didnโt finish it. So, I searched the fandom and the wiki more. And thatโs how I got spoilers from season 3. I saw a screenshot of Yugo kissing Amalia. I thought they were teenagers (ฤฐ didnโt know the timeskip back then). This season actually introduced me to Adamai (ฤฐ should have finished season 1 early, I tend to spoil myself). ฤฐt seemed like they knew that dragon and he betrayed them but I didnโt understand the full story. But then I noticed two other kids, Elely and Flopin. They seemed to be the kids of Percedal and Eva. Then I thought to myself: how old are the main characters now ?! Also why did Yugo look the same? What kind of timeskip is this?
Btw, I discovered Qilby by watching a clip where Yugo defeated him. Yugo told Qilby canโt deceive him anymore and he locked Qilby in a white dimension. I didnโt know what was the deal of Qilby. All I understood was that he was a villain. ฤฐ didnโt research about him (old me should have).
Then I stopped engaging with wakfu for 4 years because I thought that show was ridiculous, confusing and inapporiate (forgive me for saying this, some characters looked creepy and girls looked weird)
At 2024, I saw a amv of wakfu season 4, where Yugo got tortured and his body changed. I felt so bad for him. I thought his childhood got stripped away. I got curious, so I went to look for more of season 4. Letโs say, ฤฑt was not satisfying for me.
Then I took a research. Turns out, eliatropes age differently and Yugo is 21?! Did you honestly expect me to believe that 12 year old looking boy is actually 21 ?! ฤฐtโs ridiculous to me. Then I started to think lowly of wakfu more. Thatโs why I stayed away from it.
Until 2025, because I some great wakfu artists and one of them made redesigns. That actually gave me an idea to create my own. To do that, I spent three months watching first two seasons. I admit, it was kinda hard for me to go through scenes I donโt like. How is this a kid show ?! But I didnโt stop. If I wanna make a rewrite au, then I must see itโs flaws. ฤฐt was a relief when I finished watching it. ฤฐ got interested in brotherhood of tofu. They became the main story of my au. A rewrite project turned into something where ฤฐ explore characters and where ฤฐ put them in scenes I would love.
Then I read critics I agree with. I felt so seen.
So yeah, I have a hate-love relationship with Wakfu
Note: btw, the reason I got interested in this was because of Yugo (Heโs so cute!) and the fantasy theme
