I shared my thoughts in a post yesterday, didn't I? Most people were understanding, but a small group thought I was forcing Neko to scrap that storylineāeven though Iād noted upfront that translation tools might make my tone sound harsh. Iāve never opposed anyone shipping the male characters, nor have I ever forced Neko to drop that route at all.
Now Iām told this isnāt an otome game for anyone, just a story heās telling. And heās rightāitās his story, one thatās blown up and loved by so many. Heās done nothing wrong; heās been through so much and is utterly exhausted, he deserves to rest well.
Now about me: Why am I getting attacked just for voicing my opinion? Those comments might seem sharp to others, but even with the translator possibly toning down some of their harshness, I could still tell. Iāve tried my absolute best to explain gently and patiently that I wasnāt forcing anything. Iām a player too, and I truly love this gameāwhy canāt I show my dedication and love? Why canāt I offer suggestions and speak my mind? I never tagged the official or forced them to take my advice. Yes, many people like my works, but that doesnāt mean I canāt voice my opinions or show my emotions.
You say Neko shouldnāt be denied the right to enjoy different fanworks just because heās popularāwhat about me? Just because Iām not the official creator, do I have to shut my mouth and say nothing? Is my love not real? Are my emotions not real?
"If you donāt like it or canāt accept it, then donāt stayāthis game isnāt for you."
Is this driving me away? Just because I donāt like one thing? Maybe itās a translation issue, or maybe Iām overthinking and overwrought, but those words truly broke my heart. Iāve never loved a game this much. Yesterday, in the comments of that post, I even said Neko can create whatever he wantsāwhatever he wants, Iāll just avoid that part myself. No matter what endings he writes, theyāll be great; his storytelling and character writing are unparalleled, I adore them deeply, and Iāll keep loving this game no matter what.
But in the end, those words felt exactly like Iām being chased away. I justā¦
Iām sorry, Iāve been in a really bad place lately. Graduation pressure and the helplessness of my declining creative ability are weighing on me so heavily. Let me be alone and sort things out.

Neko mentioned there would be polyamorous endings, but never said the male leads would also develop romantic feelings for each other. I always thought their affections revolved around the MCāthis part was never disclosed, which is why Iām so heartbroken.

What does this even mean? Wasnāt Pierrotās entire character from the start supposed to only love the MC? If this plot is added, then what were all of Pierrotās feelings for the MC up until now? Does this mean that if someone else is gentle to Pierrot later on, he will fall in love with them too? Iām literally going crazyā¦Honestly, before this, a lot of people asked me: āAfter the MC, if someone else is gentle to Pierrot or offers him help, will Pierrot fall in love with that person?ā I always thought those people were just being insecureāuntil I read this. Now I realize their fears were valid, and Iām losing my mind too.

Iām truly, truly sorry!! I just found out from others why I was seen as an opponent. I only meant to reply to one comment under that post initially, but I couldnāt find the option to reply to it individually, so I had to reblog the original post directly. On top of that, my wording and tone came off as overly harsh, making people think I was pressuring Neko not to create such content and opposing this ship. Iām really sorry about thisāitās entirely my fault. I didnāt consider how much hurt this would cause or how you all would feel. I sincerely apologize, and Iāve fully realized my mistake... I wonāt engage in these conflicts anymore. I just want to wait for the upcoming storyline, and Iām really looking forward to it. ļ¼¼ļ¼¼\Ł©( 'Ļ' )Ł //ļ¼ļ¼
My only worry was that Iād be forced to see obvious shipping moments between Pierrot and Harlequin when playing the main story. If that wonāt happen, then Iām totally relieved.(ą¹ĖĢµį“ĖĢµ)Ł
Iām sorry this post has been so full of my personal emotionsāit was just a way for me to let off some steam. The values we hold are shaped by the environments we grow up in, and these differences, combined with language barriers, can lead to misunderstandings. Please donāt judge me based on your own perspectives. Thank you for your understanding ļ¾(ļ½”ļ¾Ļļ¼¼ļ½”)ļ¾
