tbh, people calling her out only because she's not being clear whether all the ero ver. was canon or not before, though, it's before this series being serialized
but yeah, people definitely blowing it out of proportion, like, too much, instead of just asking nicely
When the
orgy chapter was first released, fans asked the author politely if it was canon. In response, the author denied it was canon. She deleted all related posts from her X account, making it difficult to show records her statements directly. Some traces might still be available on forums. At that time, even though
chapter 2 of the pre-serialization had a noticeable 'FANBOX hole', fans generally accepted her denial because the connection to the orgy chapter wasn’t that obvious.
The 'FANBOX hole' in Chapter 2 of the pre-serialization:
It's important to remember that she didn’t respond well to these questions and even vented her frustration on X. Obviously, she deleted everything.
The situation became more complicated when
Chapter 4 of the pre-serialization, accompanied by a new
FANBOX chapter. In this chapter, the dialogue on the first page practically confirmed that the FANBOX content is canon (the orgy chapter). Then on page 2, there’s a panel that directly follows the 'FANBOX hole,' clearly indicating that the FANBOX content was indeed part of the story. Fans noticed this continuity and asked her again if the FANBOX content was canon. She denied it once more, but this time, when fans provided clear evidence of the connection, she ignored their questions entirely. Fortunately, there is a record of this interaction:
Recently,
the author finally clarified everything after further confusion arose when a new chapter was published on her FANBOX shortly after serialization began. Given how the author contradicted herself and mishandled the situation multiple times, I don’t think people are overreacting. She clearly made significant errors in her communication with fans.
Another critical issue to consider is that by integrating the FANBOX into the story, the author effectively restricted access to crucial narrative elements for those who didn’t pay for it. For anyone unaware of the FANBOX, the storyline appears to be a typical 'save her' scenario. However, once you view the FANBOX content, it radically undermines everything the public initially saw. The character transitions from being portrayed as a victim to someone who embraces a more enthusiastic, sexualized role. This abrupt shift completely undermines the consistency of character development and highlights a blatant disregard for narrative accessibility in storytelling.
