Are you only talking about the bust size for men or both men and women?
I should have called it the pectoral region because it’s true, both are exaggerated.
You can’t tell if a guy a muscular or not with their clothes on
True.

Well I know people who are born really curvy and get judged and starred at every day so yes there are some who get surgery but WHO CARES anyway I’m just saying it’s not always “unnatural”.

3/4 of the romance section stories wouldn’t have been romance if lust wasn’t included in the MC’s thoughts, and I haven’t even seen any LI caught dead without a six pack. It’s just so unrealistic. Not every “love of my life” in the world has six packs. I guess readers just like to see the LI getting ripped.

exactly ! at this point, it feels like i already know the men in the story are going to be “what every girl adores” which is potrayed as the 6’3 musclar athlete when it’s not always like that. it needs to change.

I think it could be cooler to see the LI going to gym and working out and how it changes his muscles.

To illustrate my point, I took screen captures of the body templates for everything but plus size, and overlapped them, with each layer a different colour to make the different features more prominent. Here’s what I got:
For the four male bodies there’s some differences in shading to indicate musculature or the lack of it, and Soft Male has a tiny bit of shadow at the bottom of the abdomen to indicate a slight paunch. They are otherwise exactly the same shape, which is why, as you observed, it makes no difference when seen in clothes. All the body differences are lost.
The three female bodies have some slight difference in shading in the abdomen, and that’s it. The outline is identical. The bust line is identical, same hips, same waist, same everything. They are almost exactly the same body.
Here is a group of athletes of various sports, showing the different types of bodies each sport demands. It was published around the time of the last Olympics, I think.
And that’s just athletic bodies. As we know, in life, there is way more diversity in body shapes among the general populace.
…and then there’s children and they’re proportioned completely differently to any adults.
Even if you take out the secondary sex characteristics, they’re proportioned differently, which is why I always find the “shrunken adults” used to portray children in Episode stories a trip through the Uncanny Valley. Something’s just not right.

I get what you’re saying, and I agree. I don’t know if the Episode team is willing to put in that much effort in actually making different body types, but it would be nice if they did. In the meantime we’ll just have to pretend that the ones available represent the shapes we want to portray.
