PREDICTED MY ANSWER.... but as for why! well. it started off with the first sinner that i laid my two beady eyes on being hong lu. and then i would see hong lu. and then i installed limbus... and then i saw hong lu speak and OUGHHHHH hes so sick in the head. i love characters like hong lu that are endlessly stupid (affectionate) and full of curiosities... hes so joyous too you KNOW hes suffered... of course i dont have the deepest of reasons but im just really obsessed with hong lu for reasons i cannot really write down because i cant form them into words.. he just has the vibe i really really like, and thats more than enough for me. i may have not read his book like other hong lu fans might have but it doesnt make me like him any less ... im planning to read the book hes based off of someday too!!!! hes just really really silly and his vibe is sooo amazing. his stupid face and stupid questions. the way he made gregor almost cry (sorry gregor) in such an innocent way. hes so sick in the head i just want to dissect him and read the entirety of his canto in full once it's out....... i haven't even gotten to the part where his voice actor is just AMAZING. not only does the voice actor portray his emotions in his lines well and how well the voice actor just.. matches hong lu as a whole. apparently his va also voices another one of my favorite characters and thats a bonus point....... so sorry if this answer isn't satisfactory though im afraid i do not have the deepest of reasons when it comes to picking favs. it's just vibe!!! and whatever i rock with!! although i think i do have a type for fictional characters HAHA.. they're all silly little guys who have done no wrong
