I understand it might be a creative choice because Kayla's not exactly supposed to be worldly, but I just wanted to mention, that as a Japanese american man myself, it kind of makes me uncomfortable that Kayla keeps refering to Rika as "Asian".

Can you explain better? Why makes you uncomfortable? (as non-native English speaker I don't understand)

I'll let the game writer know anyway :) thanks

I appreciate it, thank you!

Because Asian is general, implies no difference between the many different peoples from Asia, and implies that we are all the same . It's like saying  Latin or Caucasian instead of bothering to find out what country someone's from. Also, saying it all the time implies that there's nothing else noteworthy about her and is reductive at best and fetishistic at worst. Like saying a white guy does things whitely all the time instead of letting him do things because he's himself .

I see thanks for the explanation. Shouldn't be a problem to change it since I searched for the word asian and is used 5-6 times only (referring to Rika) in the whole story so it's a simple change :) Thanks

Great, thank you so much!

This is a more minor note, but I would also caution against referring to her as an "exotic fruit" in the sex scene as it would be very easy to take this the wrong way and referring to non white people as exotic can be othering  and uncomfortable.
