Before he got canceled, I was liking how Valko basically breaks some of the typical male werewolf stereotypes in fiction based on the trailers.
Not gonna lie, when I saw the teaser trailer of Valko running through the woods and glimpses of his full wolf transformation, I was thinking, he might be the typical tough male alpha werewolf trope that romance novels and dating simulators have played into, the writers of LADs were gonna just season it up just like what they did with the bad boy love interest in an otome game (Sylus) and that was that. NOPE.
The second and third trailers for Valko shows that he wears his heart on his sleeve, is a softie, and from what I and others saw, he has a normal relationship with MC (in comparison to everyone else) and is honest and playful with her and describing her scent in the most poetic way before he sneaks in a joke at the end. That is not even mentioning how he says that when he likes someone, he makes a move. The minute he said that, I was like, "Sir, you already convinced me, you did not have to go this hard."
Valko also being a technology type of nerd also won me over the most, because c'mon, Infold basically made my ultimate dream man.
What I also love about Valko is the fact that he admits that he puts on the act of being a tough wolf that looks like he can kill you, mainly because if one were to get too close to the wrong people, he could get caught in their metaphorical net.
Can I also just say that Valko's English voice actor, whoever he is, he did a good job capturing the playfulness of the character and I KNOW his secret times will go hard as well.
Kind of sucks seeing Valko in those well put together trailers and seeing glimpses of his character, only for him to be canceled and the game is a glitchy ass mess now with half assed updates from what I have seen players talk about.
Like I said before, "No Valko? No Download." Until then, Imma just stick with YouTube videos by LADs creators and fans of LADs who are showing the memories, cards, and secret times of the LADs men.
