Heyy, I‘m just now getting started to write my new story.
And I was planning on including a body shape choice, but i’ve realized that it’s quite some work to do it.
So i wanted to ask wether you would choose Plus-size for your mc as a reader. i know that not all the readers are on here but i just wanted to hear others opinions on it since i still want to do it.
Most people wouldn’t like it. But I personally would. Maybe make it plus size at the start and then she goes to female soft body. This is just cause some pp don’t like the plus size.
It depends, sometimes I want the MC to look like myself, sometimes I’m not bothered, since I’m not personally plus sized, if it was the former then no I wouldn’t, but if I wasn’t bothered at that time, sure i might go for it if I’m given the option. I just find it weird how we have plus sized women but not men
I definitely would! The only reason why I don’t is because the clothing is very limited. If they had more, I definitely would.
I would read a story with a plus size MC too!
Is your story a choose your own ending? If your character doesn’t actually have a specific name or look, I would recommend adding a choice for every body type-- it’s not really all that hard! You just have to make 4 duplicate characters for it.
That way everyone gets what they want.
If your character does have a specific look, I suggest keeping them the same.
Even though it’s possible very few people will choose that, I’m sure that a lot of people will definitely appreciate the fact that you added that option.
I would give the option. It may be a lot of work, but plus sized people will appreciate being able to play as someone that looks more like them. Just make sure that theres no body-shaming that isnt punished because I feel like theres going to be 1000s of makeover stories that are going to have a plus sized girl be the nerdy ‘fat’ loser who becomes skinny- reinforcing the idea that skinny is the only way to be pretty. Which is super negative- especially for young impressionable kids reading on here.
i thought the exact same thing, but in my story the body shape won’t matter for the storyline, it’s just, so people can make the character look however they want. Can i still add the normal customization template for different body shapes?
You should since the facial features and stuff are the same with either. I would make sure to have a few plus outfits planned out for any dressing games though. Theres not a lot to choose from yet so I’d definitely get creative lol
I would be open minded to anything (I guess it depends on the story), but I am going to be honest, I think most people would opt for a skinny MC rather than a plus sized
