These comments demonstrate an attitude towards the reminder feature provided by male characters in the game that shows a sense of respect and concern for female players, fostering greater awareness and understanding of their physical health and promoting self-care.

One player on Bilibili expressed, "This feature does seem a bit embarrassing."
However, this does not mean that the feature is without controversy. Some female players said it may reinforce gender stereotypes. Using female players' menstrual cycles as a game feature can be too personal and private, which could lead to discomfort and embarrassment.
These comments express the viewpoint that the feature may make female players a special group in the game rather than equal players, and it may make female players feel categorized as victims of their menstrual cycle, weakening their self-awareness.

Apart from the discussions centering around menstrual shame, from a user and the app’s functional perspective, “Between Tides” has attracted a lot of attention because it has interactive elements of a game that make players interested.
Many users have mentioned that this app has very few ads, and they have used the app directly when undergoing medical examinations.
Some users have provided feedback saying, "It's really accurate."
While some users have reported that users with irregular periods may feel anxious because the app's interface design does not leave room for irregularities.

Overall, the addition of the "Between Tides" feature in For All Time can be seen as a positive step towards addressing the needs of female players and promoting awareness about menstrual health.

When a Chinese Mother Helps Her Son Play Mobile Games
Cecil Gao -- Superpixel The Yangtse Evening Post in China recently published a story about a mother who helped her son play the mobile game "Girls' Frontline" in order to help him focus on his studies.  This story has attracted widespread attention online, as it goes against the common belief among Chinese parents that games are a distraction and should be strictly limited. The article is written from the mother's perspective, who admits that she used to view games as a complete waste of time that only hindered her son's academic progress. However, constant arguments with her son and his persistence made it impossible for her to completely ban games from their household. As the high school entrance exam approached, the son himself felt the pressure and voluntarily surrendered his phone to his mother, requesting her help to level up in Girls' Frontline and maintain his account.
