the MC is suppose to be whatever you the player wants them to be (dyne's words) so most just insert their fursona with said fav romance character
originally the MC was a human much earlier in development (character bio on the MC in game's files back then)

dyne gets a ton of suggestions on the game and doesn't check here often barely 1-2 times a month when updating the free public version of the demo but i sure as hell hope he reads your comments.
I'd personally like if the MC canon design was a stocky muscle chub, maybe a tanuki, plays off them having huge balls, be a nice character trait for a romance sex based furry game >:P
I know that he gets a lot of suggestions. This is pretty understandable... Hmh...Tanuki is not a bad idea. Though i imagined the protagonist with a more standard, refined figure, but with noticeable muscles on arms and legs (thanks to the game of tennis). I felt so after passage of the game. But I can understand your choice. Tanuki are pretty adorable animals. But I prefer the choice of a black panther (adorable black panther with big yellow eyes and long tail). It could be a good idea to flirt with a long tail:D Or someone else from the feline family. (also it will have a double meaning in that the MC is considering Maria as his mother). But Tanuki are not bad too) Heheh)
Hyou, hello once again) Dyne approved my idea, he answered my message ))) I'm so happy. He said that he will use it (choice at the beginning of the game) in the future. Although he did not say anything about a black panther-mc, he did not say anything against too.) Most likely in the future we will see the canon appearance and the name of the main character ^^
I've never ever gotten that impression for myself playing this game. the MC already has their own personality starting out, and reacts to various things automatically that I myself would never do or say (like rejecting sex for example), so because of that I can never imagine the MC as me. I only see the MC as their own individual character that you can mildly project on to but is still is their own person. Those are my opinions on the matter anyways.
Well, I suppose that may vary from one person to another, I myself can relate a lot to the MC. At least the me on my 20s, with all of that about the military dad, having to leave home because of him, being self conscious about my body in public places, waiting for something special instead of rushing into sex... There's a lot about that character that resembles the old me and makes it easy to place myself into the story. But as you said, that's relative.
