I believe the reworked chapters are coming first but I could be mistaken.
I just want to say that I love the game so far, but one pet peeve though, as a member of the Asian community, I don't really like the way Miru is portrayed, I feel like you put too much emphasis on her race and kinda enhanced the stereotypes associated with Asian women too much in her character creation, not giving her as much character depth as she deserves, since to me, she's more than being Asian.
Sorry for the tangent haha, this is just a touchy subject in the Asian community, about the dehumanization and hypersexualization of Asian women and the emasculation of Asian men, I like the game nonetheless, just something to think about, I'd be happy to explain this to ya, or any folks here who want to hear about it.

When you say Asian community, do you all speak in unison? What would you change about Miru and the "hypersexualization" of hers? Keep in mind that this is still a porn game.
Well, I can't speak for the entire Asian community of course, only from my perspective as a person who is an Asian man and has an intimate knowledge on this subject.
For your question, I would approach it like the game "Melody", which is a great game by the way, in Melody, one of the characters, Xianne, is Asian, but to my playing, the developer(s) didn't highlight that aspect of her identity, they treated her as any other girls, no "her pussy is tight because she's Asian" or "I'm good at sucking cock because I'm Asian", just an interesting character with a background who happens to be Asian, or like Ellen in "City of Broken Dreamers", who is similarly richly portrayed, with little emphasis on the stereotypes surrounding my Asian sisters in the real world, and that is what I want for Miru, just another Asian person who happens to be really horny all the time rather than highlighted for her Asian-ness. I would also touch on the media perception of painting Asian women as hypersexual but you are right that this is a porn game, so I would not touch on the media point, for the sake of keeping things brief.
This is in no way comprehensive, at least not what I was trained to say in sociology class haha, ask me if I'm being vague and I'll reply, I love talking about it.

I might have mixed this up since i play alot of games but isn't Xianne a masseuse that can give you a happy ending?

Have you considered the possibility that it's only you who deems her race as the most important trait? What if she were black? Would it change the way you perceive her?

Relax my friend, let us be civil, since this is only a porn game, it shouldn't warrant any hostility.
On your question, I don't think I deemed her race as the most important trait in my comments, her race was mentioned as an unnecessary aspect of her character in my humble opinion, so I only raised the issues, as to speak about the direction of this game, which I really like, it's one of those racial things that are important to me and many Asian people like myself, which not everyone gets, and which I understand fully, since not everyone is Asian, but hey, I'm here and I can speak about it.
Onto the second question, I think the same problems would've arisen if she were black hahah, I mean, if we replace the words:
"I'm good at sucking cock because I'm black"
Then you can see how bad it will sound right? It will still carry such a racial undertone to it, that I don't think it's appropriate for the game, so I don't think Miru being black would change the way I see her character as initially written.

I'll back you up here on this one. I'm not Asian but there were a couple of instances where I thought 'seriously dude'...her race was a factor in what she did/said. However, this is in the original game which is being reworked, slight dialogue changes etc etc so hopefully it won't be an issue going forward when he has finished.

They call me cucumber for two reasons.
"I'm good at sucking cock because I'm black" is a dumb thing to say. Everyone knows Asian girls are better at it.
Hhaha okay my man, just be careful with it next time
K, if that's what you thinkThey call me cucumber for two reasons.
