this is truly the most relatable thing i've ever played. the feeling of being whitewashed - as a mixed race person i dont think ive ever felt anything on a deeper level because how noelle felt was exactly how i once did and still do. and i love how you portrayed akarsha, she is my favourite because my personality also stems from my insecurities, and it's exactly like hers. i have the same fears she does. i know im probably yapping or whatever but the comedic stuff in here added with all the actual deep topics is honestly perfect, genuienly a beautiful visual novel and id really love it if we got more content on this game. if i was able to donate, i really would. thank you so much for making this game.
Great game...though i think it's a little worse than the first time since we already knew the characters pretty well. And the flashbacks got a bit boring towards the end. I was like "just kiss already" so honestly it would've been better if i played a different VM in between the first and this one. But besides that it was great!
I used AI to translate it, and here is the English version：
A great game.
I am a Chinese student, and I can empathize with Noelle in some ways. One thing that deeply resonated with me was when she was young, her family asked her to study Chinese, but because she found it difficult and didn't understand why she had to learn it, she gave up. After returning to Taiwan, she regretted it and hoped that her parents could have explained things clearly so she would have persisted. I also went through a very similar experience. In fact, parents are people who have been there before, and they truly want the best for you, but as a child, without a clear understanding or foresight of the future, it's hard to comprehend their intentions, leading to conflicts. As a result, we may end up becoming the parents we didn't understand when we were young, which is quite helpless and sad.
Regarding the Taiwan issue, whether it be the historical factors involved over time, or the current international situation, for an ordinary middle school student, it is too heavy and complex. All I can do is trust my country.
As for the two aspects of gender bias against females and the emphasis on science studies among Chinese people, at least from my childhood to now, I, as a girl, have never been looked down upon by elders due to my gender. Even if it happened, it doesn't matter to me since only those lacking in ability resort to talking about innate conditions. The gentlemen around me with good manners treat women well, and the few without manners don't attack others based on gender either. Their rudeness isn't because of gender but because they are simply rude (hhh). The same applies when roles are reversed between men and women. Personally, I'm interested in math, a female friend is interested in physics (we're both within the education system), and there are two others who hate science subjects (one plans to go to America, and another is already there). So not everyone is obsessed with science.
Butterfly Soup is fantastic in terms of art, music, plot, and rhythm! It's the most comfortable and favorite game I've played on itch.io. Keep it up, author!
There's a lot more I wanted to say, but I'll stop here because I'm lazy to write more (By the way, Akasha is really hot when she grows up, completely my ideal type,Noelle please don't hit me www).

不过男女不平等当然还是存在的，不可否认。如同社会书上写的：“实现妇女和男性的完全平等，还需要人类社会不断努力。”
还有就是，愿台湾早日回归！
