i'm glad you thought so! admittedly the whole scenario probably does require some suspension of disbelief that a caring girlfriend like Shiori would let it get this far - truthfully, i based the decline of their relationship in the face of Anon's growing apathy on my last relationship (especially the first note that shiori writes but throws away). as the author, i probably could've done a better job of setting up an elaborate backstory but didn't because it's just a super long greentext at the end of the day and i didn't really want to write some big fanfic and setup the justifications that shape why Anon and Shiori are the way they are in the story. and besides, trying to come up with justifications now after-the-fact for why they didn't talk in the story would feel super contrived for me www

the basic premise of what i wanted to go for as for why these two act the way they do is that Anon is trapped under this mental block that came about after being coerced into choosing a life that he didn't want and since because work is such a big part of someone's life (especially for Japanese salarymen) it's soured a lot of his feelings towards many things even if they're unrelated. if you've ever worked a job you hated and you've let it consume you or tried to have/had a family member dictate your career for you, you kinda get the gist of it.

as for Shiori's end, i wanted to come up with the idea that in contrast to Anon, a lot of things are working out for her but at the same time it's only because of Anon that she can feel that way - from childhood to the present in the story, he's always been a reassuring presence for her and it's because that she's known him for so long as a hard-charging kind of guy, the idea that Anon is dealing with something that he can't handle alone is a foreign concept to her. and as for her unwillingness to press it, i THINK i wanted to kind of put a subtext that Shiori feels like she owes a lot to Anon and so she doesn't feel right intruding when she thinks he doesn't want her to. plus with how Anon's decline started in college when he changed his major "for the sake of their future together" she probably feels a lot of unjustified guilt and responsibility that he is the way he is because of her when that's not the case.

remember kids, poor communication sinks ships

that's a shame, i would've loved to read it. still, i hope you can post one even if you feel embarrassed about it. there's no shame in trying to be creative!

>>58900106
don't feel ashamed about that anon, sometimes we need a helping hand and support when we're at our lowest - besides (i personally think so anyway) there's no shame in living with your parents as long as you pull your weight and you're not a bum

>>58900185
well anon, good news is that being pathetic is something that isn't permanent. i don't know your situation so take my words with a grain of salt - whether or not you want to take the first steps to being better is up to you, but that's why we do the reps in the first place for a starting point

>>58900225
will-do anon, all the things i've been doing can't go to waste otherwise my shiori tulpa won't let me hear the end of it

>>58429317
fwiw novelite, as a fellow faggot with bad discipline, i am tremendously proud of you for doing what you can in the circumstances you can control. you're doing a helluva lot more than some of the doomposters that come here and i'm sure shiori would say the same. i hope you can keep up the good work, and i am wishing you luck in job hunting

>>58270099
man, that kinda brings me back to when i first fucked around with vocaloid

i'm glad you were able to make it work though, and now i have one more song to add to my collection, so thanks again

think about it this way esl-kun, you know two languages and even though your english isn't on par with a native speaker, you can speak enough to be understood AND you know your native language; that's a lot more than other english native speakers can say in regard to knowing a second language. at the very least you've got me, an english native speaker, beat in that department

>>57844596
heatwaves and the heat in general can fuck right off. i just want to live in alaska in a cozy little igloo with shiori~n. hope you're feeling better anon

you kinda get used to it? but the sleep deficit kinda kicks your ass on your days off

>>57289658
and that's perfectly fine, anon. you get to experience her cuteness at your leisure, nothing wrong with that

>>57278356
no problem anon, and i'll tell you that as many times as you want me to

>>57278391
i personally think horror would suit her pretty well, but i'm also a giant sucker for classical

>>56436501
much like shiorin we're all over the place; like one anon said in another page, the audience reflects the streamer

>>56436543
good luck on the grind buddy, i was always pretty bad with science so kudos to you

>>56436572
there's just something about shiorin that unironically drove me to improve myself and i find myself getting a bit inspired by the effort she's putting into interacting with the novelites even when she's on vacation.

>>56296333
man that second unarchived karaoke was pure kino, i love you shiori!

Did you know that anyone can lactate with the appropriate meds?

>>55436404
surely you mean Les Fleurs du mal :P
no way Shiori won't be into such pervert mangaka like Oshimi Shuzou

>>55396861
you probably just have different sense of humor then. I thought Shiori was funny as hell and the only one actively trying to entertain the viewers. the others are a bit too busy with the game itself

>Shiorin counts as new
>sure
I love the cheeky wink she did lol
