Valko Creator Spotlight — Genorol108

As we wait for the news of his return, I know that the community is yearning for Valko content. While I can certainly provide information and some drabbles, my talents are limited to writing. So, I come bearing gifts.

One thing I've seen several people mention is the fact that we could've had Secret Times with Valko by now. Believe me, I'm mourning that too.

However, I had the pleasure of meeting Genorol108, an NSFW audio creator who decided to bless our fandom with a contribution. I originally met one of the script writers (@lucretiavesper) in my Discord channel, as she had been following my reports, and she kindly introduced us to Gen and his work.

Needless to say, we've been losing our minds over his content. I'm an avid smut reader—books and fanfiction alike—but I don't think my jaw ever left the floor. Genuinely.

I've included links to his account and content below, and I highly encourage checking them out. Especially the Valko audio. Seriously. He's extremely talented. Vocal range off the charts.

Plus...he told us a second Valko audio is in the works.

MorphyVA may all your dreams come true may you take all of infolds income with Valko voice requests may you live a the best life ever oh my God thank you for your service

Users on X are mobilizing to combat the misinformation being spread in the Chinese media surrounding LADS and Valko.

I am posting continuous information on my X account. Link here.

You can find a full explanation of the situation here.

Using hashtags: #VALKOWASFRAMED #VALKOISINNOCENT #BRINGBACKVALKO #BRINGVALKOBACK #SAVEVALKO

Here is a post with every outlet publishing criticism of Valko and Love and Deepspace.

In China, "under the PRC Civil Code, companies have a legally protected reputation. If a news outlet, blogger, influencer, or another company publishes false statements that damage a company's reputation, the company can file a civil lawsuit." We have to trust in the fact that Infold's legal department is mobilizing.

To my understanding, DO NOT MOVE TO CN APPS. Their media (RedNote, Weibo, etc) is highly controlled. We have the best chance of success on our own apps (X, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, etc.) We are already trending on X.

Our goal is to flip the narrative. Show why they are incorrect. Prove that they're spreading misinformation about Valko and LADS. We bring the receipts. What they printed, next to what's verifiably true. Keep it straight-forward, to the point, and undeniably factual.

This cannot be rushed—it could backfire immensely. We cannot go against their government because it could negatively affect the CN players. The problem needs to be highlighted as “a danger to the positive view of China” from foreign players.

From a user on X: Bringing the importance of Chinese culture and tradition abroad, is the key part of all of this. It is our only leverage. We need to mention our only wish is for the company to keep being able to spread Chinese culture. We need to show them how we engaged with Chinese culture, and the charity we did in the name of the character we wish to have back, so that the company can continue.

This is vital, but it is delicate. Don't hesitate to message me here or on X if you need guidance. I will still be updating you as I get more information.

More information here.

Reblog, share, anything you can do to get this out. We need as many people involved as possible.

FULL BOYCOTT IN EFFECT. SEE DETAILS HERE.

ALERT: CHINESE MEDIA

DISCLAIMER: I cannot say with 100% certainty that this is true. However, there is enough credible evidence for me to believe it.

To put it in short, we're not just battling Infold. We're fighting the Chinese media.

Here is the post. I will outline the timeline here as well. This is directly from the thread:

As confirmed by a CN native. "state media commentary acts as a direct warning of incoming government bans." So, that's it, then. This is what caused it. Valko was being recognized by the state media. So why did Pro Valko ppl not go after the media for false reporting? On their socials? Why were we not instructed to? Timeline: June 22nd, Valko is announced. Fan Rioting pursues for 6 days straight. Company doesn't budge, continues to post normally. June 28, 1 AM: Apology, 20-pull compensation, and a promise: every male lead's story "will not change for any reason." It tops the overnight hot search marked 爆. Then watch the state media pressure. June 28, 9:08 AM: Beijing News "Six Questions" rejects that apology in print. It was 8 hours old. June 28, night: the Women's Federation's magazine — enters hours after the PV airs June 29: China Women's News named editorial June 29: China Women's News AGAIN, on the 0731 defense: "fails to convince" June 29, 8:20 PM: Guangming Daily. A central party paper. June 30: Ban Yue Tan. Xinhua-run. June 30, evening: Valko is cancelled. Permanently. With a promise to never add a male lead again. And still, to this day, they are STILL going after him, with Beijing News posting ANOTHER smear article on him JUST TODAY! Now look at PPG's attitude change. Anti's beginning riot? Didn't budge. Business as usual. Once the state media got involved? Silence. And knowing this... it makes sense. The marketing numbers didn't add up, a large portion of CN population really liked Valko. Obviously the rest of the world liked Valko.

Here is another post. I will include the screenshots from it below.

Here is a news clip posted to Weibo. THIS IS NOT FROM A GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT. On Weibo, the red V is a standard verified account. A gold V is for news, government and verified companies. This is just a random news channel, no government affiliation.

Here is a screenshot from a user on RedNote explaining the situation:

Here is a screenshot of every news outlet that has been running Anti-Valko campaigns (via this post):

So, what do we do?

Not to worry, friends! I never give info without a plan!

GET LOUD about false media in China. I mean LOUD. We have to change the narrative. Everything they are spreading is complete slander. This is where the sexual assault and predator allegations against Valko are stemming from. They're taking clips of his trailer fully out of context and changing the story entirely.

Infold is fully capable of bringing a lawsuit against these media outlets. "Under the PRC Civil Code, companies have a legally protected reputation. If a news outlet, blogger, influencer, or another company publishes false statements that damage a company's reputation, the company can file a civil lawsuit." I am hoping that their current silence is because they are taking legal action. I'm not sure how likely that is, but my fingers are crossed.

Be louder than the media. Fight back. Change the narrative. This is vital if we want to bring Valko back.

This does not mean stop the boycott. We do not need to give any money or support to Infold. We're still posting #bringbackvalko, we're still going after them, and we are still NOT logging in.

Posting under #ValkoWasFramed, as far as I know. As soon as I have more information, you will be the first to know.

JULY 9TH BLACKOUT IN FULL EFFECT. INFO HERE.

Wow, okay, good morning everyone! I think I gained almost 200 followers overnight?? 😭 Thank you all for being here!

We have a lot to go over this morning, so let's just get started from the tippy top.

7/9/2026 8:45 AM CDT

Reminders

First and foremost, this is a kind, respectful, peaceful space. I will not tolerate any aggression or rudeness towards any person, group of people, or towards Infold. I'm here to give you information and hopium. This situation is stressful enough without adding negativity into the mix.

I do not have all the answers! I made logical assumptions based on the information I have. Without a statement from Infold, nothing can be 100% confirmed. Please take everything with a grain of salt, and use your critical thinking skills to draw your own conclusions.

I do not have substantial knowledge on coding or game development. I have a marketing degree and I currently work as a legal secretary. I am much more comfortable making assumptions about those particular topics, but I will gather as much information as I can about the situation as a whole.

I see all of your messages in my inbox, I promise! I will respond to as many as I can throughout the day.

Recap of Last Night

Yes, last night was a lot. But let me give you a very brief overview before we move into everything else.

"Coming soon" was removed. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING! This has also happened before! Here's a post with an explanation.

Valko's information remains fully intact. His WU story is the same as it was before the update, and the text messages from the Hunter's Association are still there. Here's my post with proof.

6.0 Updates

Glitches on glitches on glitches. Bugs everywhere. For example...

Not only that, but the bursts are glitching—specifically the myth bursts, from what I've seen. Limbs everywhere, discoloration, lagging—just a whole mess. The best explanation for this is that the devs had already added Valko's coding into the game, but chose not to release it with the current patch. Now, I don't know much about coding, but I do know that if one line is messed up, the whole thing is messed up.

I've received many messages saying that Valko's Discord channel and role were deleted. His channel was only hidden/archived, but the role was removed. I know this might seem like a step backwards, but I think of it differently. If Valko is coming back, he'll likely face a completely new announcement and reintroduction. I wouldn't take this as a major loss.

This post on X provides a detailed explanation of the changes, glitches, and bugs from a game development perspective. I found it very helpful!

Speculation

Some are speculating that certain cards are being censored. I cannot confirm or deny this. However, in my opinion, most of the "changes" seem to be glitches rather than intentional changes. We'll know more as time goes on.

This timeline feels incredibly strange. Valko was announced on June 22nd. Infold insisted that he was here to stay on June 27th. They cancelled his release on June 30th. That's a really quick switch-up. There are definitely a lot of factors involved in this that we don't know about. Here's a post covering the timeline of events.

Here's a post speculating on the CCP's involvement. I think it's very possible, especially given the fact that we haven't received any kind of statement from Infold. If the government/law is involved, they are likely unable to say anything at all.

The possible CCP involvement is what brings me to my next point. I do not believe we're being ignored by Infold. If that were the case, they would have addressed the CN players and not global—but they didn't. They only announced the cancellation of BW2026 to them because it takes place in Shanghai. The cancellation of the JP event was only announced to JP players. I don't think we're being ignored, I think Infold is literally barred from making a statement.

Protest Updates

We have a billboard in Hong Kong!

Those of you in or around NYC...

Thanks to a user on X who's been keeping count, I can confirm we are at around 4.8 MILLION posts in support of #bringvalkoback. We've been trending for 9 days straight!

According to this post, global players account for 52% of LADS's revenue. We have enough influence to make demands. Don't stop fighting!

CN girls on RedNote are begging us to keep making noise. They want Valko as much as we do! Keep going, friends!!

LADS is ranking REAL low on the charts. Like...REALLY low. Here's a post.

We are moving back to emailing Infold, as well as participating in the total boycott and protest today (info linked above). Here is my resources document, which contains all the info you'll need to email them!

As always, I'll update you as soon as I have more information. I'll also be giving you a healthy dose of hopium in a little bit! Sending my love <3

Yes, boycott in full effect. Info below. Use hashtags: #BringValkoBack #BringBackValko #BlackoutForValko

REBLOG!!

Massive thank you to @avananabread for bringing this to my attention and giving me some info! You're an angel!!

BREAKING NEWS

I fear my smear campaign theory might've been right on the nose. Here's what I know from researching:

In 2024, Papergames (Infold) filed a lawsuit against Archosaur Games, the owner of Silent Whispers, for trademark infringement. Archosaur had used registered trademarks like Shining Nikki, Infinity Nikki, and Miracle Nikki as search keywords in WeChat ads to promote their game Life Makeover. Papergames won in 2025.

During the trial, it was found that a company called Tencent is the second largest stockholder of SW.

Tencent is a MASSIVE company that has been known to sink its competitors using vile tactics like smear campaigns, hiring bots, paying off the media, and undermining the public opinion. The current situation is far too similar for it to be a coincidence.

Shanghai originally stepped in to support Ppg, as they contribute a large amount of taxes to the city, but this wasn't enough to stop the campaign

However, Tencent didn't (and couldn't) expect this level of global support. We are quite literally acting as Infold's shield. WE are the only reason this campaign is starting to crumble.

Remember, SW has a Sylus clone and they recently released a werewolf character as well. In recent posts that I've seen, his eye color has changed from green to yellow, and his skin is lighter. Example.

This perfectly explains why the police and Infold's legal department are so involved. This was never just about a group of online bullies, these are PAID TROLLS. Their job was to spread misinformation and try to change the public opinion about LADS.

There is substantial evidence to suggest that SW has also been purchasing likes and views. Here's a post to support this.

The smear campaign is crumbling FAST. Posts and comments are being deleted, police are investigating, and RedNote is actively taking action against those who spread misinformation. Here's a post.

This has always been bigger than a vocal minority disliking Valko. Valko was the scapegoat. This was a full-blown attempt to sink Infold as a company.

DO NOT STOP POSTING! The more we can show our support for Valko, the more this smear campaign crumbles.

EDITS BELOW

Posting links to various X posts that support these claims

Translated conversation

SW was in development in 2016, while LADS started development in 2018. THIS IS SPECULATION: LADS released first and gained popularity FAST. This reeks of jealousy and pettiness, in my opinion. Nothing like the frustration of someone else being more efficient and more effective.

Screenshots and initial trial info

Previous allegations against Tencent:

Tencent vs. ByteDance in 2018. Accusations: paying public relations firms to publish negative articles, spreading false information, manipulating public opinion, unfair competition

Tencent vs. miHoYo, 2021-2022. Accusations: coordinated negative posts, influencer campaigns, fake grassroots criticism ("astroturfing")

WeChat moderation and censorship. Accusations: censorship of politically sensitive topics, protests, criticism of Chinese authorities, certain historical events

Frequently associated with paid commenters ("water armies," 水军), fake reviews, coordinated social media promotion, influencer networks

Valko stalks over to where you're seated at your desk, taking your hand in his and prying it away from your skin. "Aht. Hey. Stop that, alright? You gotta let it heal."

If he spots it once, he'll be on the lookout, so good luck hiding anything from him. And if he catches the scent of blood, he'll be on your case immediately.

His solution? He steals one of your hands. Good luck picking your skin as a fidget with only one hand to handle your primary task! He doesn't mind intertwining your fingers with his own for hours at a time, and there's no escaping his ironclad grip.

Mindlessly, your hand finds a scab on your neck, and you start to peel it out of habit. You startle as you suddenly hear footsteps approaching your office, and a few seconds later, there he is. He approaches you like a wolf on the prowl, raising an eyebrow when you meet his gaze. "Alright, pup. I gave you enough chances. Now, it's time for consequences." Your chest feels tight. Is he frustrated with you for not trying hard enough? "I-I wasn't thinking, Val, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I-" "Hey." He cups your cheeks, staring deep into your eyes and making sure you're listening. "I'm not mad, okay? No apologizing. I didn't mean to spook you." He flashes you a grin, then takes one of your hands in his, waving it in the air. "I'm just taking this hostage for a while."

I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.
