"...she was squinting like a chinese person.." What? 😭 I'm enjoying the game so far but I want to let you know that could come off as very offensive. You could choose to change the dialogue or not but as an asian it does just come off a little stereotypical;; :(

thanks for your comment. I appreciate you sharing your opinion.

this phrase was written on behalf of the main character herself. she is not a "morally pure" storyteller, and some of her thoughts reflect her flaws, stereotypes, internalized biases, and etc.

As an author, I do not support or agree with such views. I didn't want to make fun of or offend any ethnic group, but I understand that it could be offensive. I'll think about how I can rephrase the text more correctly.

Of course. Thanks for understanding!

I'm aware you want to portray the MC a certain way, but I think focusing on her flaws in handling relationships around her with other characters is a better way to go about it. Since the game mostly revolves around the MC and these relationships with the new people around her, there's no reason to bring a racial group in and throw comments towards their way. I don't understand why China is repeatedly mentioned unless there's a large influence of this country in the setting, while no other groups are mentioned at all. I think it's unneccessary for development of the game and plot, and could come off as problematic.
Of course this is your game. I'm not one to talk. I can barely code lol. Just some input from a player of your game hehe. :")
