It says gender ambiguous, but the guy called my character a lady :sob:

OMG!!!! I AM SO SORRY!!! We will get this fixed ASAP!!! 🫡🫡🫡
UPDATE: Fixed! Many apologies for any feelings of unpleasantness or discomfort that may have arisen from that! 😭
Thank you so much for playing! ❤️

Transmasc who also got caught by this. I'll admit I almost put the game down after that, but I changed names to a femme OC's name instead of my own, and powered through. I'm glad I did, because there are a few mentions of pregnancy scattered throughout. Not just in relation to MC's past lives, but some for the current life too. Add onto that some very feminine body language, and to me, this story was clearly written from the perspective of a cis woman.
While the desire to appeal to a wider audience with gender ambiguity is noble, I think fixing MC's gender would probably be a better fit for the story you're telling here.
That being said, once I did change the name and shook off the misgendering ick, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I got all 12 endings in 22 cycles.
I am so sorry about that! And thank you so much for still giving us a chance despite the unpleasantness. That was really gracious of you -- and I will definitely take the feedback into account and look to clarify the gender in future releases if it's obvious that the player character is coded a certain way.
I was probably hoping it could pass since I personally consume a lot of fantasy BL content that includes some topics with children and pregnancy -- but a lot of that is also targeted at cis women as the consumer.
Thank you so much for powering through our game, and giving the feedback to us straight -- I really can't express enough how much it means to me that you still gave us a chance despite the ick. 😭🙌
I've added mentions of pregnancy and childbirth to the warnings above, and I'll tread more carefully in future releases! Many apologies and thank you again.
