Kono Koi wo Hoshi ni wa Negawanai - Vol. 4 Ch. 20 - Prologue

[Feyrwen]

AHHH I NEED A NEW CHAPTER RIGHT AT THIS INSTANCE

Whenever Kyowli wakes up and jumps on discord, we are immediately updated with the current countdown for a new chapter.

This wait is exceptionally long and I just want more.

Started reading and caught up in a day. Very fun story…although the implications of calling this chapter the prologue is fascinating…

Does that mean it’s the prologue of their romance? Of the story in general? Of the story about their marriage?

They both love each other the most but Eri does need to figure out just how much of it has grown to be romantic feelings as well, it’s certainly not “I don’t mean it that way”

 

[Azalel]

i agree that Eri can't blame herself for not being considerate of feelings she wasn't even aware about that much is 100% Fuyu's fault, HOWEVER Eri's blame lies at the fact that she uses everyone in her life as crutches, she used her boyfriends and previous flings as sexual and romantic crutches because she had fuyu as her one true emotial crutch, she used her and treated her as a lover in every aspect except when it came to her comitment to that relationship, whishing that they were eachothers number one but as long as she could fuck around since in her pov sex and kisses don't matter as much as a childhood relationship, Fuyu shoud've brought this up way earlier since the full weight of this toxic ass relationship is laying on her, but even if Eri wasn't aware of her romantic feelings, this dynamic was still so uneven

I very much agree with that and hope that senpai will also mention how uneven her relationships were and how flawed her understanding of romantic relationship is after hearing about them from Fuyu and it hits her.

Srs stuff aside , I love how the author felt a need to make a note saying don’t point fries at ppl (altho I know pointing in general is usually considered rude )

 

[Ziya_Agafya]

I hope Fuyuki is with her senpai at the end...

 

[zurichtime]

I am still in camp Fuyuki x Senpai, even when the author decides Fuyuki x Eri end game.

My heart has been hurt so much from reading Fuyuki's suffering that I wish the author will make Fuyuki to move on from Eri. Oh god.. I can only wish

 

[ImNot_Real]

Senpai always looking fine as ever!

 

[suxh1]

Thank you soo much isa ceire nyan and albo!! I can finally read this after a while

 

[what.]

I need Senpai to keep Fuyuki. SENPAI DESERVES HAPPINESS TOO

 

[mimuro]

As much as I want them to fix their problem I still couldn't support Eri for what she's done, and I just can't buy her excuse for not knowing Fuyuki's feeling and go fuck around with other people's feeling and relationship

 

[CynicalPepper]

Why have I been seeing a trend lately of people blaming people for not confessing to another person, that's very dumb. I agree, by technicality, Eri isn't at fault, but blaming someone for not saying something is fucking stupid no matter what, saying that something like that is someone's fault dismisses how difficult doing something like that would be especially in a mainly conservative country.

Eri does still in fact though have faults that exacerbated the situation further than it should have. It isn't Eri's fault for not knowing or doing what she did, but it's undeniable that her general attitude regarding people and life caused these problems to begin with.

The only thing that still confuses me though is, why did she even go out with what was her boyfriend anyway when she didn't even like him? I'm unsure if this was explained or...?

I think there's a lot of factors at play here. The most general reasons are things like the general societal expectation to have a normal heterosexual relationship (comp het) and that rejecting someone is genuinely difficult if you don't really have a good reason, it was probably easier for Eri to just let those relationships die on their own and lean on Fuyuki for her emotional support. With Kyou specifically that rejection is probably harder because of their long standing relationship, and also he promised not to get in the way of her relationship with Fuyuki (which is what caused her issues with her previous relationships).

Eri's emotional intelligence is pretty much abysmal, so I honestly think the main reason she keeps getting into doomed relationships is because she doesn't really know better (in terms of what she wants and what others want from her) and just wants to make her life simpler by conforming to what is expected.

Story would be so much simpler if someone told Eri "Fuyuki's the most important person to you? Well, you to her too, and she wants to bone you, and you don't mind doing that with your partners, so have at it."
