Nice game but I'm wondering about the stats, do they really have any effect? In dialogue or the way the MC behaves or maybe other NPC's perception about the MC?
Yes it does. It affects how MC behaves, and also sometimes influences which options you have available. It doesn't affect other NPC's perception of you. (not yet, but might change in future.)

A good example of this is the optimistic/pessimistic choice you make at the start of Episode 3, which determines how the game describes the Tabitha as you are approaching it. Other examples are where a more timid MC will blush when complimented, or a bolded MC telling the LI exactly what they like/want. Also, choosing Alieu vs Matahr has several flavour descriptions. As an Alieu you'll sometimes be able to guess exactly what a NPC is feeling/thinking, where a Matahr might just notice the NPC smiling or sighing.

That said, if there is ever a scene in the game where you feel your character is acting 'out of character' for the choices you made, please let me know. I love fixing issues like that to make sure each and every player feels their character is 'seen'.

Instead of changing content why not just make it obvious what a character's route will entail? I see a scenario where changing the scenes will just upset the people who already like the content as is instead.
Oh, no we wont remove existing content, we'll add to it. So a submissive MC will still experience the scene as is, but a more dominant MC will experience new content where they challenge Kiaria, either in a tug of war to see who is the most dominant, or outright taking charge over Kiaria (It'll probably be the first, but wouldn't mind creating a third route for super dominant players.)

I could see a tug of war type of situation being interesting where they alternate who tops could be interesting but making a top into a bottom because the mc is oh so special seems like a disservice to an established character. The only time that's really interesting is if they are a complete pos. but at that point being in a real relationship is already off the table most of the time.

infinitestarsdev Hi I saw an older post about how to add your own player avatar but it doesn't seem to be applicable for current builds. Is there still a way to do this?

I have not startet this VN for quiet some time. With the new update I wanted to pick it up again.

It said there are new profile pictures, correct? Is there any way to review the appearance of the MC? The stat page only shows, well the stats, but none of the choice I made for the looks.

Also, I can only save on 5 pages while the loading page allows to choose a lot more pages. Is this intentional?

THX a lot in advance! I VERY much enjoy the story and the writing you do.

Cheers!

There isn't, but then the choices you make for the appearance don't really play any role in the story. I think the hair length may be mentioned in text at couple points. They're also completely decoupled from the MC's portrait (which you can select and/or change at any point by clicking on the portrait frame on the Profile screen) in the sense that you can pick appearance attributes which don't match the portrait at all, and vice versa.

Also, I can only save on 5 pages while the loading page allows to choose a lot more pages. Is this intentional?
I'd guess this is just an UI oversight. You can make additional saves in those extra pages just fine. Use Load mode to navigate to them, and then switch to Save mode to make actual save(s).

You obvously are way smarter than me... I did not think about that... :FacePalm:

Regarding Portraits I am aware that they are not coupled to the story. Yet I would like to choose a fitting one. And I don't remember if I choose a blond bimbo or slender asian MC.

If you enable the RenPy console, you can check the value of relevant variables there.
MCHaircolor for picked hair color
MCBody for body type
