Theres less issue with the het tag itself, or its being here (like there IS het on this site it just tends to be otherwise quirky), the fact this wasn't originally POSTED under the impression it was het is moreso the interesting part. This does feel so so so Happy Late April Fools!core lol.

please at least try to read some other comments before writing this. People have said that the author tagged this story with a GL tag, but then INTRODUCED a male interests. It's literally a yuri-bait and switch by the author, how the fck could the uploader know to tag it at het at first??

I did read those… never contradicted it. I didn’t mean to imply the uploader could’ve known beforehand & if that is what my statement communicates I apologize. It was the accidental nature of it that makes it somewhat funny in the first place i swear! The GL tagging is just baffling, I don’t see much point in a deliberate bait-and-switch if the switch is revealed this early…

she's drinking (with tongue)

Well, Remu did consent to being the model. That makes a difference with this kind of thing. The nonconventionality of it isn't the part that would be an issue for her.

The public nature of it is indeed the biggest issue, along with her seeming unwillingness to consider that Remu might not like her that. Both of these could create a lot of problems in a way a private journal or even a story with the names changed wouldn't.

It's not clear how recognizable the stories would be, but they seem to involve real places they have been. It potentially could be pieced together by someone. Given that's the most dramatic and harmful possibility, it seems like an event that will happen at some point. At least, that's one way this could go, but it's hard to predict where this story will end up.

Not to put words in anyones mouth, I think its the original "model" for the figure also having been a real person that sets the precedent that this wouldn't be AS immediately offensive to her. That Said yeah the fanfiction being posted publicly (by name!) would absolutely make this a bigger deal. Not necessarily DIRECTLY friendship-ruining (Remu feels like she could shrug off a lot) but enough to cause a fairly serious argument at least.

("Directly friendship ruining" inasmuch as like, the fact that RPFF (real person friend-fiction :p) is being written might not necessarily do it, but the presence of the distorted "fictionalized crush" Remu that, while distinguishable, is in perceptual conflict with the actual living person to Niji could rot things if not adequately addressed. Even if the fanfiction itself gets sorted out.)

well is not like her sister is the only meguru in town, like i get that i´d be weird to hear your sister s name while being hugged half naked but assuming that her sister is your co-worker s ex based on just that would be reaching a bit too much

To be fair we don't know her reasoning yet, could've put 2 and 2 together given meguru's age/vocally stated opinions on intimacy/approximate body type. might not even truly suspect anything but is finds the homonymity noteworthy or worth investigating. her immediate reaction's subdued enough that it could be any level of "huh!" plausibly. (Though i hope they do confirm it sooner than later, though i guess finding it out from all 3 running into each other at once could be juicy enough in its own right dramas-wise...)
I'm internally battling over whether to leave a pithy comment about this love triangle being Soooo Weird (which, like, it is, it isn't a triangle even setting aside the layers of simulacrum going on, and it isn't even "love" for all hypotenuses, etc.) or to leave something deeper than I'm really prepared to abt how this is really managing to capture shame surrounding sexuality (and the different causes OF this shame and what this shame in itself causes, tip-toeing around invoking homophobia directly though, people in the audience for this sorta yuri drama probably don't need that re-iterated :p) while still being pretty contrived from a, like, causal perspective. Thankfully the characters & motives are strong enough that the "coworker just so happens to be new step-sister's ex girlfriend & just so happens to have a fetish complimenting ones own" thing is still suspendable disbelief-wise.

Worried more for Eri in all this, i don’t think the guy is bad or anything (barring some level of contrivance he seems to be, like, normal levels of faulty person :p easily on par with the protags at least. gladly not some openly abusive antagonist figure) so she’d be physically fine but comparing the two at least Fuyuki seems to understand what she wants. Whether Eri’s feelings towards Fuyuki are actually AMOROUS or not she clearly cares much more about their relationship towards each other than her present romantic-by-obligation relationship. (Whether that has a chance at being genuine in its own right is its own bag of worms, Eri reads strongly in-denial to me, comphetted to hell and back, but the actual story could go either way. ) Even if Eri chooses to let Fuyuki go (which could very well be the healthier option!) It’d be preferable for her to do it knowingly rather than it already being too late. (Preferable from like, a practical/empathetic sense, from a storytelling/artistic standpoint it could very well be too “clean” for this authors’ tastes :p.)

Knowing my Kyletropes thats Sayori on the poster (with her bow on the wrong side?), banned from the roof for her own safety.
The artist’s hidden talent as a yuri wizard when he isn’t being as edgy is nice.

She’s operating under Golem rules perhaps? That which is not meant to live just keeps on growin’.

Saw this and perhaps foolishly expected a more inane brand of “what the fuck am i reading”, I was surprised to find this actually rather interesting despite struggling at times to make sense. Praise the ouroboros!
