Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Similar to the typical themes of violence and adult level in the Middle Ages, this is only a reproduction of the original Water Margin. The original work is somewhat similar to the violence and adult level of The Witcher 3, but in terms of production, it cannot reach this level. It is more like the violence level of the 12th type of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In terms of adult level, it is only a card drawing of beautiful women, with some nudity, but with clothing. Some male characters may expose their upper body because they are fierce generals.
