Hi guys,
Some of you guys may have noticed a banner on this blog encouraging you to support AKISEKAI's new kickstarter, "Love Series REGENERATE - Visual Novel". Contrary to that banner which I have taken down, today, I'm here to warn you that that cute, frilly visual novel that some of us may have already backed may actually be a scam! Here's why I think this:
How I discovered the possibility of it being a scam

AKISEKAI just seems more suspicious when we see the artist's reply via twitter

So apparently AKISEKAI don't consider you a backer is you only back the $1 tier...

From my perspective, by addressing the commenter's $1 pledge and saying that he/she is not a backer because of it is quite rude considering that there 4 or 5 other backers who haven't said a word against them, but backed the $1 tier. Does this mean their not backer's either? Honestly, this comment just makes AKISEKAI seem money hungry.
... and apparently they believe the mountains of testimonies against them are the commenter's lies?!

Rather than say that the commenter is lying, shouldn't they address the claims and evidence? Saying that someone is "lying" is not a valid argument, especially when there is mountain of evidence against you.
More evidence if you read all the tweets that tag their deleted twitter page

AKISEKAI'S RESPONSE

Ummmm....could you please address the mountain of evidence?
After seeing this altercation, other anecdotes, external opinions and AKISEKAI's questionable responses, I could not help but be suspicious of AKISEKAI and so I also decided to stop backing "Love Series REGENERATE - Visual Novel", I mean it's better to be safe than sorry, right? This is my own personal decision, so please don't think that I'm trying to urge you guys to stop backing this project. I just think that current and potential backers should know a little about this conundrum before backing this project and possibly regretting it in the future.
Please note that I have no affiliation whatsoever with the parties involved in this dilemma. I'm also neither the commenter nor twitterer in the images above, I'm just following this story by observing tweets and project's kickstarter page. Therefore, any opinionated input aside from the tweets and comments above are my own
