Ow, I think I have reached the peak of my life. A 13 year old child wants to tell me to stop defending what I believe and swears she knows what an abusive relationship is.

I've said it before and I hope I don't have to repeat it again: I know it's just a game. But games, and any other media, contribute to spreading misconceptions about relationships and help to make toxic guys famous. As much as it is "just a game", we need to STOP romanticizing and normalizing this type of guy. We need to STOP making them famous. There are a lot of toxic guys in other otome games out there. Eldarya need not be one more. If Lance becomes LI, Beemoov will be contributing to the stereotype.

And, as you said yourself, you're only 13. What life experiences do you have? None. You have never been in that kind of situation (and I hope it will stay that way). And you are not mature enough to understand the seriousness of the matter. If you really knew what an abusive relationship is, if someone you care about had gone through it, you would never defend a route with Lance. As I said, even if it is "just a game", it helps to spread misconceptions about love relationships.

There are a lot of amazing characters in Eldarya, why exactly the guy who put a knife to her throat should become LI? Does not make sense.

And just because YOU are not going to be influenced does not mean that other girls will react in the same way. It's amazing to see how Lance's stans only think of themselves.

Hi, anon.

Exactly. Lance is a villain. A killer. How does someone fall in love with a guy like that? The only reason, in my view, is his physical appearance. Because it's impossible to be because of Lance's personality and character.

Yes, they are enemies. But Lance was a son of a bitch even with his brother. He killed innocent people and companions. What makes you think that he would act differently with Erika just because they are in a relationship? He is definitely not a good person. And he won't change just because he's dating Erika.

Like I said, it would need a HUGE redemption for Lance. Something that is really worth it. And I don't think Beemoov knows how to address serious topics like that.

Hi, anon.

(I'm answering your second question here too)

Eldarya has always been more serious and more violent than My Candy Love. This is a fact. But Lance was planned to be a villain, and even though the writers may have changed over time, the basis is still the same: Lance was there to be the "bad guy". To be responsible for the chaos in Eldarya. I don't know if he can be less of a motherfucker. He remains a villain, a murderer. He's cold-blooded. All his actions are very well calculated. He knows what he's doing and in his head it feels right. And he supported the plan to the end. This is Lance. A killer. A psychopath. And it is not because he is handsome that he deserves to become an LI. As I said: I doubt that Lance would be so "loved" if he was ugly. It's just because his physical appearance is attractive. This is extremely superficial.

I know people change, anon. And I have no problem giving Lance a chance as a boyfriend if his route is taken seriously. If he pays for his own crimes and that they are not simply forgotten.

My fear is that they will romanticize Lance's route. That them treat as normal and without a problem the fact that he is a murderer and killed several innocent people. I hope he has a good redemption.

My concern is how they will approach and develop his route, basically.
