I gotta say I'm usually pretty easy to make tear up with any mediocre sob story, but this one didn't even make me blink.

1) This isn't like Clannad where self-introspection and personal karma is what gives the protag their second chance (emotional stakes tie into the narrative). It isn't even on the level of Zero no Tsukaima where Saito sacrificed himself to save Louise, overwhelming her with guilt (reader has personal bond with both characters). It's a random death to save pointless characters who I don't give a shit about, trying to accomplish something I don't give a shit about.

2) He's obviously not dead, and the fact that the author even pretends that this was ever an option actively decimates the stakes of the story and removes any and all tension involved with the drama. In fact, this could have been a great moment for Philomena to be completely unfazed and respond with a "Of course I knew you were alive, you idiot."

3) Even if he was dead, why should I care about the status of this assholes who can't spare a week to visit his fiance who he doomed to public exile for 7 years? Fuck this dude.

Hope we're nearing the end of the whole thing, cuz the story is nigh unsalvageable after this.

Spoilers please? Linkage to the light novel?

I gotta know what happens. I think Edi faked his death so that he could get out of doing all that grunt/dirty work that the kingdom was making him do.

I got sad for her, because the asshole is probably alive and will show up next chapter and keep acting like a damn asshole.

@Aretheus The reason for him dying to demons would be a way to abandon his post as head magician, he won't have anyone trying to stop him from marrying the MC. It was a gamble to do that cause the hero party may not have been able to win against the demon king. Unless the hero being Eddi's friend offered him a way to marry MC with the help of Eddi's apprentice. They'd fake his death and then Eddi would continue to help the hero party along with his apprentice, but Eddi probably has to stay hidden. Too me that makes the most sense since the hero was trying very hard to be Eddi's friend and friends to friends favors and it was probably to pay him back for saving his life or some shit... Then the other thing is if the princess is in on it then anything can be schemed

@Liquidxlax I know he faked his death and idrc what the reason for it is. My problem is with Philomena acting like an idiot about the whole thing solely to make the reader artificially feel sad.

There's two ways this should have played out. Either she knows how competent Eddy is, and it should be obvious that he's alive and she should have little to no reaction. Or she doesn't know how competent Eddy is, in which case, why should I care about their romance when both of them seem to know nothing substantial about one another?

Eddy can play all the 7-d chess behind the scenes all he wants. At the end of the day, Philomena is the protag who I'm supposed to be vicariously experiencing this world/story through. If she starts acting like an idiot, it throws everything else that we see into question.
