Buy Diamonds for Lovebrush Chronicles: packs, VIP Card and Sketch tickets on the Global server
Lovebrush Chronicles is a mobile otome built around a turn-based card combat system, developed by Interstellar Studio (星间工作室), an internal team at NetEase Games. The title is the global rebrand of the Chinese hit 时空中的绘旅人 / For All Time, which has been live in Mainland China since 23 October 2020. The Global build under the Lovebrush Chronicles name launched on 20 October 2023. The protagonist is a painter who travels between worlds through her own canvases, with five male love interests scattered across different eras and realities. Diamonds are the premium currency: they convert into Old Dutch Paint and Dove Voucher Sketch tickets, activate the VIP Card and unlock the rotating event bundles.
- Conversion into Old Dutch Paint at 160 Diamonds per Sketch on the main Gallery
- Purchase of Dove Voucher tickets for the separate Picturas Gallery
- Activation of the VIP Card, a one-shot 30-day daily-login pack
- One-time first-purchase gift with a guaranteed SR Illustra on the first ever top-up
- Seasonal event bundles tied to Eden, The Decameron, Bejeweled Heart and The Spirit World
- Top-up by User ID, no Apple ID, Google or NetEase password handed over
Not Aurogon, not Papergames: who actually makes the game
Catalogues regularly mislabel the developer of Lovebrush Chronicles. The game is built by Interstellar Studio, an internal NetEase team — it is not the work of Aurogon Shanghai (Onmyoji, Identity V) and certainly not Papergames, the studio behind Love Nikki and Infinity Nikki. The publisher is NetEase Games end to end, so the Global account hooks into a NetEase ID or a third-party Apple/Google/Facebook login. The Chinese release shipped as 时空中的绘旅人 ("Painter Traveler of Space and Time", initially translated as For All Time) and only picked up the Lovebrush Chronicles name for the Global launch in October 2023; the CN build still operates under the original title. A dedicated Korean server ran from 11 November 2021 until 19 May 2023, after which it shut down and KR players were migrated to Global.
Diamonds, tickets and three separate Galleries
The summon economy here is not centred on one currency the way HoYoverse games are — it runs across three Galleries with three different tickets. Old Dutch Paint is the main ticket for live event banners; it is bought with Diamonds at 160:1 and named after traditional Dutch oil paints, a lore nod to the painter-protagonist motif. Paint Box Voucher feeds Basics Gallery, the standard pool, and is earned through Friendship Points that drop with every Sketch on the main Gallery. Dove Voucher is the dedicated ticket for Picturas Gallery, the side pool of art-only cards, and can be purchased with Diamonds or with the soft currency Tin Coins. Pity does not carry across these three Galleries — each one keeps its own counter. Tin Coins themselves cannot be purchased with real money: they drop from Daily Practice, events and sign-in rewards.
Pity 80 and the 70/30 limited rate
Gacha math in Lovebrush Chronicles sits apart from most otome competitors. The base SSR rate is 2% and hard pity hits at pull 80. Soft pity opens at pull 50, where each subsequent pull adds roughly 2% to the SSR chance; from pull 70 onward the increment jumps to about +5.8% per pull. The defining difference from Genshin, Honkai: Star Rail and most otome contemporaries is that the limited Galleries do not run a 50/50 — they run a 70/30 split favouring the event SSR. The guaranteed 5-star at pity has a 70% chance of being the rate-up directly; if that splits and you receive a standard SSR instead, the next guarantee is locked to the event SSR at 100%. The worst-case path to a specific limited Illustra caps at 160 pulls. That is harder pity than Love and Deepspace's 70 with a 75/25, but kinder odds on the rate-up itself.
VIP Card and why it is not a Battle Pass
VIP Card — also called Monthly Card in community shorthand — is the only recurring monetisation product. It is a one-shot 30-day activation: a single purchase pays out an immediate Diamond bundle, then adds Diamonds and Old Dutch Paint to the daily login mailbox over the next thirty days. It does not auto-renew, unlike App Store auto-renewing subscriptions — once the term ends you buy it again manually. The exact daily Diamond figure varies across third-party sources, so we do not pin a specific number here — confirm the live payout in the product card or with the seller. There is no classic 42-day Battle Pass in Lovebrush Chronicles. Its place is taken by Daily Practice (cumulative daily missions) and seasonal Event Passes on major events such as Eden, The Decameron and Bejeweled Heart. If a "Lovebrush Battle Pass" appears in the catalogue, it is almost certainly the active event pass at the time of listing.
Illustra card combat and the five love interests
Beyond reading the story and collecting CG art, the game runs a real turn-based card battle system. Teams are built from six Illustra — unit cards — with three on the field at once, each holding two Skills and one Ultimate. SR/SSR Illustra summoned on banners are tied to specific worlds and characters. The roster of male love interests is five: Ayn Alwyn, the pianist who shifts social role across worlds; Lars Rorschach, the crowned Emperor known as the Tyrant; Alkaid McGrath, a third-year astronomy student at St. Shelter Academia and one of the Paragons; Clarence Clayden, the soft-spoken Archmage of Godheim whose motif is the maple leaf; and Cael Anselm, lord of the Silver Knights. On 12 June 2025 the Decameron update introduced an alternate identity for Ayn in the Date system — Patriarch. He is not a sixth love interest but a separate persona for Ayn with his own scenes, which is a frequent point of confusion in third-party guides. The Japanese voice cast is genuinely top-shelf: KENN, Shinnosuke Tachibana, Junichi Suwabe, Kohsuke Toriumi and Daisuke Hirakawa.
The Spirit World series: event bundles, not the permanent shelf
If the catalogue lists items like The Spirit World Special Value Pack, The Spirit World Special Paint Box, Paint Storage Box (Lux), Tin Coin Pack, Illustra EXP Pack, Enlightenment Pack or Random Lucky Bag, those belong to the Spirit World story arc and run as a seasonal event series rather than a permanent line. Composition and pricing are pinned to a specific campaign window, and outside that window the bundles may simply be unavailable to order. The same applies to Take-Out Coffee — it is the Eden update event pack from April 2024, focused on Stamina recovery and bonus paint, not a daily login coffee bundle the way some copy-paste descriptions frame it. Random Lucky Bag is a randomised box with non-deterministic contents — there is no fixed loot list to quote. Daily Paint Pack is simply the in-game daily-shop offer with a discount on Old Dutch Paint and/or Paint Box Voucher; it is not a subscription and not the Monthly Card. Celebration Ceremony Consecutive Diamond Pack works as a cumulative top-up: purchase across consecutive days and the run-on bonus Diamonds stack on top of the base, in the same vein as Genshin's Cumulative Recharge.
One Global server, no PC client
The Global build of Lovebrush Chronicles runs on one merged server covering Americas, Europe, SEA and Japan — there are no regional shards inside Global, and chat and arena pool everyone together. The CN server lives separately under 时空中的绘旅人, and accounts cannot move between CN and Global. The User ID is shown in the profile — tap the avatar in the bottom-left corner of the main screen; the UID is permanent and tied to the account. The game ships on iOS and Android only — there is no official PC client. PC players run it through emulators such as BlueStacks, LDPlayer or MEmu, and there has been no Steam release. Cross-save between iOS and Android works through a NetEase ID or one of the linked third-party logins (Apple, Google, Facebook).
Localisation and notes for non-English players
Lovebrush Chronicles ships in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean and Japanese. There is no Russian localisation in either Global or CN, so Russian-speaking players run the Global build in English and rely on community translations for the heavier story beats. For players in regions where the official store has limited card support, third-party top-up by User ID has effectively become the default way to keep buying Diamonds and Sketch tickets without dealing with App Store and Google Play payment workarounds.
How to place a Lovebrush Chronicles top-up
- Open Lovebrush Chronicles, tap the avatar in the bottom-left corner and copy the User ID from the profile card.
- Pick the pack — anything from 60 to 6180 Diamonds, the VIP Card or an event bundle from the live series.
- Enter the User ID and select the server (Global). If a CN listing appears separately, double-check that your account was created on the Mainland Chinese build.
- Review the data on the checkout screen and complete payment.
- Wait for delivery — Diamonds and the VIP Card land on the linked User ID on the next login.
Related otome and NetEase top-ups
