"Female-friendly" does only mean that the depiction of sex is not gross like most of the other weird stuff some people hold to be erotic. You should still keep in mind that LICAT was initially intended to be released at Valentine's Day.

@cpt_hook: I would be happy if you can point me to these instances of awkward English, either with a PM or within our Discord channel. I am no native English, and this is my first story published in English, so I am still trying to learn.
Meh, people have different definitions of what is erotic. IDK if you mean some of the stuff out there is reductive, objectifying, or violent, but there's plenty of porn out there featuring both genders on either side of that equation. Or maybe you mean there's stuff with female characters that aren't fleshed out and basically penis receptors, or damsels in distress waiting to be corrupted, which I would agree that there is a ton of out there. Or maybe you mean there are fetishes that are geared more toward men than women, which I would disagree with, as everyone has different things that float their boat, although there is porn out there that's labeled as being "for women" and I guess it's distinguished by being more sensual. But it's not totally clear what you mean by female-friendly and that label is a bit reductive in and of itself, like there needs to be a separate, cordoned-off porn category for women that doesn't upset their delicate sensibilities.

Female Friendly in this case seems to equate with Soft Core, which pretty much solely exist for the female market. Yes there is sex but there is no focus on the actual penetration that the male market expects.

It was a sweet enough story, somewhat sensual but not really erotic to me. I do look forward to seeing more from this developer.

There are a number of tiny errors (e.g. plurals), but nothing offputting. Variety in vocabulary is always nice to see. However:

She is pretty and covetous
I don't think that word means what you think it means.

To be fair, it's not a bad little story.

I don't mind kinetic novels when done right and this one is pretty decent.

Yea, was about to say something along those lines. I often see comments on here that make me think that a lot of guys out there have weird perceptions of female sexuality.
There is a guy around here that seems to think women don't go looking for sex, he's hilarious if you ever come across him, absolutely clueless.

Lol, bonus points to you for that reference.

In actuality, that COULD be interpreted as meaning she looks like she wants him. However, that's a pretty rare interpretation of the word these days, and it's much more likely to be seen as meaning she looks greedy. Considering our PC's disparagement of "crazy groupies," that probably would have turned him off right quick!

@AbyssalEros that's one example, I'll playthrough and PM you others today.

@yoyomistro and @Boogie: Boogie has figured it out, it is somewhat softcore and does not upset female sensibilities in any way. Yes, softcore or vanilla would have been the better words in English, I got it. However, at least I managed that you speak about LICAT. ;)
I know that the concept of what is erotic is varied and depends significantly on personal tastes.
Moreover, I did not mean it in any sense denying some fetish or gender-specific stuff its erotic nature.
I meant ‘gross’ in the literal depiction of the sexual act in art or word; adult games where women are nothing more then cum-dumpsters for illiterate idiots (protagonists), who are not even able to think a rational thought.
I remember vividly a game where the protagonist wants to fuck every woman around him, nothing wrong at that at all, but in his mind, he is continuously insulting every one of them in the badest of ways, especially after he manages to fuck them.

@Bagger288 and @cpt_hook: Thanks for pointing that out to me. You are right, and I will find a better fitting word, maybe I just stay with the plain adjective ‘desirable’ as this is, what it should mean.

@Paladina: Maybe it got lost in the translation, but Jack is no minuteman at all. Their sex was quite long and intensive. However, if you were looking for a rough-power fuck, I fear you had chosen the wrong novel. A softcore romantic flick intended for Valentine’s Day was the wrong choice. ;)
However, I would recommend you to look into our main game “My Life with Laura”, when it will be released. There you will surely find something for you.

I wouldn't call this a visual novel at all, it's far too short... It's more like a Visual Short Story... It looks really well done, and you do get sucked into the emotions of what occurs, which makes it entertaining, albeit short lived... Based off what is mentioned in the ending credits, it feels pretty much like a Demonstration piece for the developers other works (in the same story universe) on their Patreon website... Something short and enticing to advertise their work... I posted my review...

Haven't tried this yet, but based on what I'm seeing in the description and tags, I've got to say that it's a total waste having a game about a sexy stewardess with a pretty face without a BJ scene.

Thanks for clarifying. Softcore and sensual would have been more elucidating to me than female-friendly. Honestly I used to watch a lot of softcore porn when I was younger as they had better story lines, production value, and they were on TV late at night so it was much higher resolution than the free stuff on the internet when I was a kid. Also I didn't care as much for genitalia when I was younger as I do now, and there are plently of men out there who like softcore as well.

Thanks for the disambiguation. However it still does seem a bit strange to say "upsetting female sensibilities". Reductiveness goes both ways, putting women in a box of being "sensitive" can be perceived as dichotomous to treating them like sex objects: either way you're using a broad classification to categorize women as a gender.

Is your team mostly composed of women? Then you could advertise your product as being by women, for women. Is your work told from the female perspective? Then make that your selling point. Is your narrative romantic? Or a sort of realistic, slice-of-life, falling in love story? There are a lot of different descriptors you could use to sell your work as being geared toward women who are partial to sensual, thoughtful romances that would also more clearly convey the nature of your work to everybody. I mean, even as a guy who likes some extreme stuff as can be construed from some of the threads I've posted in, I might still go for something like this. I like Ninja Scroll, Ichi the Killer, and Gantz, but I also like Notting Hill, Anna Karenina, and Autumn in New York.

I also get that English isn't your first language, and I'm glad that you guys are receptive to criticism on language use from people in this thread. As a guy who had an uphill battle learning French for years, I can definitely empathize with the struggles of navigating the nuances of a language you didn't grow up speaking.

@yoyomistro: lol. Neither Grabiobot nor I are female, and I can assure you that I am everything but vanilla. In fact, I am the more perverse one of us both and know quite well how to treat a woman like a slut if she likes it, without degrading her in an assholish way.
This little story is indeed nothing more than a sweet romantic Valentine's Day extra; the actual romantic theme was purely for this day, and for our loved ones.
My Life with Laura, the reboot of AVSB and our main game, will have a lot more sex, with various fetishes and more details of the actual act. Still, we will try to present even the nasties gangbang quite erotic in art and word.

@NTRBitch: Huge thanks for your compliment for our love story. You have really made my day.
No offense taken by the way, and according to your top three, I must inform you that probably all our other projects will not be to your liking too, as Laura (the woman of our main game) will not be a cheating bitch.
But I dare you nonetheless to try out our next release; you are welcome.

Compliment ? oh you don't have to be sarcastic but sorry for what I said, I won't shit on other people's preferences anymore. If you guys enjoy love story and romance then so be it for each of us are different . As for me , I had enough , cause in my real life I have plenty of that thing, love, vanilla and romance that's why in my games and fantasy I want the opposite and looking for something different . Guess I'm outta here

@NTRBitch: I really took no offense at your comment, and I hope you have not taken offense at mine.
It is entirely okay for not liking a"love story" when someone seeks a more non-vanilla one, but we have promoted it from the beginning as a romantic short-story for Valentine's Day. Therefore, I was amused at your comment.
Just allow me one question, have you looked at our Patreon site, and especially at the stuff regarding sexual content for our future projects?
