Her voice sounds nice! It's a shame her voice provider is the only skilled artist attached to the project - or at least the only one who seems to value her craft. 
wow. she surely is... underwhelming.
you might as well just buy any other dt letter person (or not, mai comes w the editor and she could replace topaz pretty easily)
i don't usually roast perfectly good voicebanks just for being generic bc i don't wanna be overly negative, but,,, they were really asking for it with their 'for professionals' talk. did they do any market research at all?
also her official art with the weird perspective is also her image in the editor, it's so goofy lmao

she sounds nice but nothin special
her editor art seems rushed, looking at the sketchlines

Given that her company has made no efforts to reach out or accommodate to Korean fans (there's not even translations on their webpages...), I don't see the reception becoming positive. At the moment, there has been discussion about her in Korean spaces and among Korean fans / speakers, but nobody really interested in her directly - only Korean XLS. In fact, I could see her reputation becoming worse in Korea when she's able to utilize Korean due to complex Geo-political social issues...

Usually I would have jumped on the occasion as I did back in the past with Fuiro (or Aoki Lapis back in the time on NND) but seeing these things kinda left a bitter taste in my mouth.... (Also why do I feel like they'll discard my fave gem amethyst ? lol)

so quick after their first voice release we're seeing this too...? yeah, not a fan of how gemvox has been developing. there may not be anything illegal going on here but, its overall business practices and other things that just feel off to me at this point
It's because they're venture capital - which consists of bloating a start-up with as much money as possible so that they can "exit." Studio ENTRE's entire existence is funding new startups, with a special focus on Web3, NFT, and block-chain technology startups. (Which, is important to note as I've seen many individuals say "well Yamaha released NFTs for Zola" which while most certainly deserves to be criticized, is not the inherent goal or industry that Yamaha and SoundUD work in. Meanwhile, Studio ENTRE's mission statement and areas of expertise are directly within funding and creating new Web3/NFT/block-chain applications and subsidiaries).
It's very common with VC-backed startups that the project is pumped with money fast to try and expand - sometimes as much as a million dollars or more. The ultimate goal is to either go public or sell the business to return equity to the venture capitalists who invested. However, general statistics show a 75-80% failure rate of VC-backed startups. While the first-year failure rate is low, most VC-backed companies do not last longer than 5 years and it's a miracle to make it to a decade (as can be seen by programs such as MUTA, Vocalina, Sharpkey, among some others). While it is public record, in an attempt to avoid naming names, one of the companies I just listed actually received an investment of 3 million dollars yet became defunct by their 3rd year, and closed their service after 6.
I wouldn't be surprsied if this is the same philosophy that GEMVOX is operating under, especially since the licenses for these products are not cheap. Pump the business/project with as much money as possible, try to make as much content as possible, and aim to return the capital that was invested in your business in a non-crisis way. Given the track record we can observe so far, and the fact they're hoping to make the "GEMVOX UNIVERSE" platform...I personally don't see them lasting long.
