>>86382373>>86383027Thanks for reading, Anons. I was afraid that the joke had already been stretched too much, to the point that I had second thoughts about including the podcast bit. Good thing you guys still found everything funny then. In fact, the whole "Anon being a tsukkomi" thing was me trying to mitigate the feeling of the joke being beaten to death. Ironically, the way Anon reacts to what's happening ended up being the dead horse lmao
>spoilerIt was too good of an idea to pass up, really. So, thanks for the inspiration. As for why Shiori doesn't tell him, I was trying to make it look like Anon, who has everything a writer would dream of, is ultimately stuck in his own personal hell of fear and misery because he thought he could grift his way into getting a girlfriend. And I found the idea rather funny.
