Reactions to [CN]Kiro's new Season 3 Chapter [Third Movement]
Below are my initial thoughts after reading Kiro's new chapter that was just released on the Chinese server of 'Love and Producer' (April 28, 2026). They're more like ramblings than anything else. Strap in boys and girls because it's gonna be a real doozy of a post! I'll try to keep spoilers to a minimum.
First off...WHERE THE F**K HAS THIS WRITER BEEN DURING THE ENTIRETY OF THE GAME!?!?!? WHOEVER U ARE, YOU...ARE...A...GOD!!!! 🙇♀️You have saved me when I've lost all hope for this game. How the hell is it possible for this writer to establish Kiro as a character that feels fleshed out, grounded, and SO HUMAN ALL IN ONE SINGLE CHAPTER!?!? PAPERGAMES!!!! ARE YOU HEARING ME?!? ARE YOU SEEING THIS!?!? DO NOT FIRE THIS WRITER!!! YOU BETTER KEEP THIS WRITER ON THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM!!! DO NOT LET LAY OFF!!! HAVE THIS WRITER DO THE REST OF KIRO'S CHAPTERS AND DATES...MY GOD ESPECIALLY THE DATES!!! I've never gotten such a clear understanding of Kiro as a character until this chapter. This is IT, folks!!! To me, it felt like the writer might have some background in psychology or something because...wow...I'm just speechless. It had everything: plot, romance, suspense, angst...A SHITLOAD OF ANGST, and more angst. BRAVO!!! It takes a lot of skill to write something which made me question my own beliefs about love/romance, what love is, and what it means to love. I thank you, 'writer with no name', for putting me into an existential crisis. And the angst...did I mention the angst yet? It hurt but it never hurt this good before😩👌. I think it really helped that I saw things from Kiro's perspective instead of being in MC's head all the time. Now, on to my second ramble.
Mister Bian Jiang, sir....GIVE👏THIS👏MAN👏AN👏OSCAR!!! He has gotten so much better at acting as Kiro. I'm guessing the longer you spend playing a character, you end up becoming that character. At this point, no one can play Kiro other than Master Bian Jiang. He had one job and he SLAYED it💅. During that one particular scene towards the end of the chapter, no joke, I seriously heard snot being wiped away which made me think "Is he crying for real!?!?" Papergames better keep this man as well.
Last and certainly not least...Kiro. Kiro...oh Kiro Kiro Kiro...you may be fictional but you've become a real man to me🤤. You certainly know how to screw with a girl's heart, don't you😏? I feel like I'm falling in love with Kiro in a whole different way that feels fresh and new. When he made that reference about Adam and Eve, religious text never sounded so damn hot!!!🥵🥵🥵🔥🔥🔥 And then the second half of the chapter unfolded. I always wondered why I was so drawn to Kiro as a love interest. It had to be more than just him being this happy go-lucky sunshine boy. My oh my...I know the truth now. Is this what it means to be enlightened🤔?
This chapter alone MIGHT actually make me change back to my old tumblr name 'keliosyfan' and go back to translating Kiro content. Here I am thinking there is absolutely nothing new Papergames can possibly do with season 3...boy was I wrong.
I made a mistake. The name of the karma is titled 'Third Movement'. The actual name of the chapter is 'To Chase a Deer'.

[CN] Kiro's Hot Island Date Preview
🌸 Note: This post contains detailed spoilers for content that hasn't been released on the EN server yet! 🌸
"Come with me to a place remembered by the sun."
"Huh, now this feels like summer..."
It's official. PaperGames is NEVER going to give Kiro any well-drawn karmas or well-written dates. Compared to the other guys' top-up karma illustrations in this set, this one hardly makes the cut. So done with their bullshit 🙄
NO SHUT UP THEY ARE SO FREAKING PRETTY 😭 AND THE MUSIC IS MAKING ME SO EMOTIONAL
CHINESE WEDDING YESSSS!! PLEASE PLEASE LET THIS NOT BE AN AU KIRO IS SO BEAUTIFUL I CAN'T EVEN 🥹💕
Sheesh, how many more of these "fake weddings" is Papergames gonna do? For an anniversary event, I was expecting something better and this was the best they could do? They should have just stuck with chapter karmas. They've already done a Chinese wedding style so what more can they possibly write about for a date? I've never seen an otome game with so many weddings taking place and some games don't even have a single wedding scene at all.
hi, just wanna say that without the essays and analysis people as you have published here, I wouldn't love Kiro as much as I do nowadays, he's my precious sunshine. I don't really expect anything from Papergames as a company, so I'm keeping my little treasures regardless of what's gonna come out of it in the end. do you plan in the future to explain what you think ended up going downhill with the direction of the game you have briefly mentioned?
Hello @ladyjune26! Thanks for the ask and being so very patient with me on answering. Here are the major complaints/pet peeves I have with what Papergames has done and continues to do to lessen my love of the game and their treatment of Kiro as a main love interest: *WARNING* LOTS OF RANTING AHEAD
Kiro always being the "odd one out of the bunch" in regards to karmas: Honestly, why did Papergames think it was a good idea to do this? I can tell which love interest they favor most over Kiro just from looking at the karma illustrations during group events. It's almost like they use a different filter on them or use a different artist completely to draw his karmas cuz his stick out like a sore thumb. A perfect example would be from last year's Xmas/New Year's event (Modern Rhapsody) where all the guys get stylish hairstyles and Kiro gets the short end of the stick. They forgot he's a main love interest and now he's just an afterthought. Another example is the Valentine's event where all the guys get kiss karmas and say "I love you". All the guys have open-mouth kisses with their eyes open and once again they don't do that with Kiro. IS IT REALLY THAT DIFFICULT TO BE CONSISTENT!?!?! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!! Plus, why can't they ever draw MC in gorgeous outfits or hot and intimate scenes with Kiro? She constantly looks plain and boring in many of them. Her relationship with Kiro is no longer friends anymore. THEY'RE LOVERS!!! Also, no creativity. There's a lot of karmas where they draw the same old stuff in them like a teddy bear, daisies, sunflowers....COME ON!!! THOSE AREN'T THE ONLY THINGS GOING FOR HIM!!! 'The Versatile King' my ass!!! Don't make statements like those if you can't even fulfill them. If they need ideas for karmas I have plenty...no wait, they already used them for the other love interests which leads to the next point.
Kiro has been reduced to a minor character/NPC role: In season 1 main story, Kiro had the least amount of screen time. I remember a Weibo post where a CN player calculated how much total screen time he had and it was 80 minutes! I haven't exactly tested if this was true but I've seen many CN fans mention this. Also, throughout season 1, his major plot points were all put into Rumors and Secrets and they're still doing it in season 2. And don't get me started on how much repetitiveness on certain aspects of his character...ISTG, I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY METAPHORS ABOUT A BEAR IN MY LIFE!!! Starting to see the pattern now?
Nothing gets changed when Kiro fans address issues: There was a time when during one of Gavin's bday karmas, his fans were hounding customer service to add the gingko bracelet to MC's wrist and within a very short period of time, it was done. However, whenever Kiro fans want something changed, nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, gets done. A while back, there was a magazine advertising the game and for some very strange reason, they typed Kiro's name wrong and his birthdate. The entire Weibo page was just post after post about it. There's no excuse for such a small mistake which could have easily been avoided.
His karmas are released last: Whether it's the Fragrant Sunshine ERs, solo Wish Tree events, or in general, Kiro tends to be the last one scheduled. So far, he has not had a single free SR/SSR karma this year and it's already July. When the first kiss karmas were released several years ago, Kiro was once again the last one released.
Storyline and character arc: Are they ever going to address how Kiro can change into his silver-haired Helios form? Why does he have those markings on his right arm and how can they appear and disappear whenever? Is he ever going to find his master KEY? Why does Kiro look so much like his master KEY who was the previous Helios? Does that mean KEY also had blue eyes? What is this mission they keep teasing about? HELL, HIS ORIGINS!?!? There's been no story development whatsoever and they keep reusing the same stuff in the chapters. What happened to all that awesome character development in the first half of season 2? Crumbs keep dropping but it leads to nowhere. Here's a hot take: Westmoon had a much better, cohesive story overall. I am forever sad that it's over. If it isn't already obvious, the writers are heavily milking the main story. As much as I don't like season 1, at least it was more entertaining and mysterious especially when MC "died" and ended up in Winter World where all the love interests didn't know her. They should have continued from there. It would have been interesting to see how the relationships developed and MC ended up staying despite everything. Did she have to go back to the "main world"? There's just too many questions or maybe I'm being too analytical.
Dates that coincide with Main Story: For real though. Whatever happened with that? I remember there were a handful of these dates that follow-up with events that occurred during the main storyline (i.e. Light Pursuit- God tier date👌and Clinic date). PG completely did away with them for some reason. It gave so much insight and fleshed out Kiro's character more. I have yet to see a SINGLE date in season 2 that does this.
That's pretty much all the major issues I've come across. There are others but I've done enough nit-picking. However, don't let my opinions sway your enjoyment of the game. If you still like it, then please by all means, continue to play. Hope you have a wonderful day and take care!

[CN] Upcoming Kiro Date
🌸 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for content that hasn't been released on the EN server yet! 🌸
"Good morning -- Your favourite person has arrived."
"You have the magic to make everything sweet."
The ugliest Kiro karma ever to grace my eyes 🤮😭 PG screwed up his recent Halloween karma and now THIS!!! The world is coming to an end...

There's just too many questions or maybe I'm being too analytical.
Kiro is constantly paired with Victor or Gavin during top-up karmas: Mostly he's paired with Victor and outshines Kiro's karmas in art style even if Kiro's karma is a SSR one. What are you trying to say Papergames? Always catering to the love interests who are the most popular in the fandom and give you the most money. I never see Kiro paired with Lucien. The unfairness is through the roof when this happens.

[CN] Kiro's Unbiased Mirroring Mind's Quest Preview
🌸 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for content that hasn't been released on the EN server yet! 🌸
In front of you, I am transparent.
If you love me, don't be patient.
Translator: @cheesy09
This is basically my mood when I saw this.
Iirc, the last time there was any juicy Helios content was Clinic date way back when. Please don't let this date be shit. I still have PTSD from the other one. Helios should take up 95% of it at least cuz ya gurl has been thirsty for this silver fox. Speaking of...my God, Helios in that leather jacket and wearing that hat is doing major things to me 🤤🤤🤤. HE LOOKIN' DAMN FINE!!!🔥🔥🔥 It's times like these where I just want to photoshop MC out of the pic and insert myself.
[CN] Kiro's Screen Date
🌸 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for a date that hasn't been released on the EN server yet! 🌸
[Note: This date was translated with the help of Google Translate :>]
Omg....what an awful mess of a date this was...it read like a terribly bad fanfic as if the writers weren't even trying. The repetitive descriptions thru-out was ASTOUNDING to the point I wanted to poke me eyes out. Papergames is definitely running out of ideas for dates. Why do they even bother putting this event together? Its like they did it for the sake of it being the holidays. And why are Kiro's karmas always the odd one out of the bunch!?!? All the other guys have their hair all nice and fancy so why can't Kiro have one??? I thought this date would change my mind but I've lost all faith. The WORST Kiro date in history. The CN Kiro fans have all reason to rage.
No More Kiro Content/Translations
As the title suggests, I will no longer be doing any more Kiro translations. My interest in the game has taken a huge nosedive and I'm sick and tired of what Papergames has done with his character/story arc and karma illustrations (specifically how MC is portrayed in them). I'm sorry to anyone who was looking forward to reading new Kiro content. As to the person who sent me an ask about my favorite Kiro dates, I truly am sorry for not responding since I rarely go on Tumblr nowadays. I will try to answer when I find the time. Thank you to everyone for reading my translations since I started. I really do appreciate it and gained some experience from doing them. Take care and stay safe.
Snippet from Kiro's Perception Date
Some context: Kiro is teaching MC how to perceive her surroundings by limiting certain senses and heightening others and Kiro is the main course *cough cough* I mean the subject in question.
Me: Only your "essence" 🤤🤤🤤
Kiro's Perception Date Preview
My luck has always been absolutely terrible but somehow I managed to get Kiro's Alluring karma in 50 pulls😭. Couldn't wait any longer and read the date ASAP cuz that blurb was too tempting to pass up and...it was BEAUTIFULLY SMUTTY/SMUTTILY BEAUTIFUL??? Idk how to describe it and if those words even belong together (they do now) but it was definitely tastefully written. A minor spoiler: HUGE HUGE REFLECTION DATE VIBES!!! (Highly underrated date imo). Also, check out the breathtaking, gorgeous backgrounds!!! 😍🤩💖
[CN] Upcoming Kiro Birthday Date
🌸 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for content that hasn't been released on the EN server yet! 🌸
All soldiers followed the order and fought with me on the battlefield.
Let us spend the rest of our lives interpreting the weight of this love.
🌟 Translator: @cheesy09
🌟 Dulce Melos: It means 'sweet song' in French. From what is known of it from written records, it seemed to have been a type a rectangular stringed keyboard; a possible ancestor of the piano, from the late European Middle Ages.
His bday karma last year was SSR quality but this one can be considered almost SP. I honestly had no idea what Kiro's bday karma was gonna look like cuz I'm always surprised in the end. I am just completely floored.
Also, I think this is the first time seeing Kiro leaning on MC's shoulder which must mean he's finally relying on her and that just makes me so happy😭💕 and they're holding holds. He has always put on a perfect image/strong front for MC cuz he didn't want to appear weak and that nothing bothered him. Now he can be vulnerable and MC wouldn't think any less of him. You're only human, Kiro. We are weak creatures but also strong at the same time. I think that's what makes human beings unique.
LOVE THIS KARMA SO MUCH!!!🥰
Kiro: Hello, I'm Kiro.
Me: Hello daddy...I mean Kiro 😳
Step on me, Papi Kiro😍🤤🥵
Reaction to Kiro's Invasion Date
If you hear someone dying, that would be me. SWEET JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH!!! THIS DATE WAS....MMM-MMM...SO SO DELICIOUSLY GOOD!!!😩🥵For once in a very long time, water wasn't coming out of my eyes but somewhere else...take that what you will all you dirty minds out there, you know who you are especially you @link4eva 🤣
It seems PG can actually write the perfect date without it being behind a paywall. Personally, that top-up kiss ER of MC making the first move to kiss Kiro was underwhelming. But boy oh boy, did the writers turn things around with Invasion date. My expectations were extremely low which is probably why I ended up enjoying it much more than I thought I would. The biggest highlight of the date was MC. Not Kiro!?!? Crazy, I know but he was still great too. I mean just look at the top she's wearing!!! That detail is insane!!! Also, if you look very closely, there's a bead of sweat on her👀👀👀 She be making me hot and bothered 😆 I really can't say anymore or else I accidently spoil the juicy details but do look forward to the translation which will be done by @cheesy09 . This is definitely a date that's right up her alley.
Reaction to Kiro's New CN Halloween Date (Soul Painting)
Me after reading the date:
