Mei Lin started writing for the catalogue in 2022. Before that, she moderated a forum where users debated the merits of Elephant Man Studio versus newer labels. The last couple of years have seen a clear shift: more of the restraint work now comes from smaller, direct-to-audience studios like Heyi Original and Meditation Original. The focus moved away from simple rope patterns toward elaborate predicament setups. She spends about an hour each morning checking QQ for studio updates. Her biggest gripe is when a video tagged 'suspension' just shows someone dangling for a few seconds with no real tension in the scene.
