Hello there :D

So i just bought this game, and have not played very much, so this is a very early review, so yeh take that as u will. So far i have one problem with this game. Its a yuri game focused on girls, and only girls so far, which is why i bought it HOWEVER, why do all the girls call each other "handsome" this bugs me so much tbh. usually u use handsome to describe a guy while u use "pretty" or "beautiful" for girls. This is not a dealbreak or anything, not even close. It just bugs me a lot and i am generally confused why u would choose that word. Other than that the game is good so far. i will leave anoter review after i have finished my first route and then my last review when i have finished em all.

Hey there, Kalitinsa! Thank you for your comment. This is the writer replying directly, so I hope this can help with any thoughts you may have on the game.

I'm a gay woman myself, and I have no problem with the term handsome being used for other women. In my personal opinion, this is a gender neutral term used to describe someone who is...well, handsome. Good-looking, strong, charming...these are all things that I believe factor into the word. Women and femininity are not - and should not - be restricted to the use of 'feminine' sounding words like pretty, beautiful, etc, though there are also more than a few instances in the game where the girls are also described as that. I'm sure you'll see a variation of compliments as you progress through the routes.

On a literal level (though I think this is being a bit pedantic and is not my personal reason behind why I use it), you can use it for women just fine. This was an unusual comment to receive, so I thought I'd cover my bases to be triple-sure and yes, it says you can right here.

Regardless of whether or not our opinions differ, I sincerely hope you continue to enjoy LOVE BAKUDAN!

I personally do not associate the word handsome with women, but to each and there own, and it really was just a minor thing. Beside that the game is very well written and i applaud you for that. I am really enjoying the game, and as u said when i got further into the game, other terms were used to describe the characters. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to answer my question, and i do apologize if what i said sounded rude or anything like that.

Have a good one :D
