While I’ll get more in-depth about point 1 when I fully review Chaper 3, I am not even kidding when I say that alter Yuyuko’s job is to… cook food for the other characters. But I still had my reservations about her because 1) Alter Yuyuko feels more like a plot device, used to develop Alter Youmu, rather than a character in her own right and 2) so far the only difference between main Yuyuko and alter Yuyuko (besides alter Yuyuko’s physical appearance) is their relationship to food. Now, admittedly, the version of Yuyuko in Chapter 3 is not the “main” Yuyuko. I continued to have my doubts when I got to Chapter 3. ( This is basically how Yuyuko is introduced in LostWord) She even straight up says that her first thoughts after encountering the Crystal McGuffins were to wonder “what’s the best way to cook these? Boiling, steaming or frying them?” In the prologue, they flanderize her hungry personality so much that she comes across as stupid. I’ve had problems with LW Yuyuko, even before this event. Let me put it this way if this version of Yuyuko was in Silent Sinner in Blue, she would have fucked up Yukari’s plan, probably for a food related reason. While gluttonous portrayals of the Ghost Mistress are common, few border on the character assassination that is LostWord’s portrayal. The recent Easter-themed Sword Festival event has only cemented LostWord Yuyuko as one of my least favorite portrayals of Yuyuko. What started off as a rant about the recent LostWord Easter event has basically become a rant about LW’s portrayal of Yuyuko.
