EXACTLY!! Jerry doesn't acknowledge the people around him as real beings that exist, he's basically acting like it's a game too much, even after being don't by the fortune teller to just live this life how he wants to! But he DOESNT he focuses way too much on the book, I've seen enough shit to know that whenever you know your future it's never good he also is so controlling over ilya, ik the whole revolt thing but from an outside perspective hes being really controlling. what especially made me angry was when he got the romance route with his brothers he acted like his brothers were actively thinking of him in that way, and yelled at them about it, when they just see him as their cute little brother! Also with siren he act as if he hates his guts, but maybe that's just bias bc I like siren LMAO
you get it !! i was so focused on the mistreatment of iyla i forgot to mention that chp with the brothers bc it made me so mad, like uughgh !! like literally his brothers love him in a very brotherly way and are just happy their sickly brother is alive and wellish and then he pushes them away and is so cruel to them bc of a booook. and yeah poor siren too he gets hated on by jerry and he didnt even do anything besides help and hopefully he might have a crush on henry
Well it did say romance route, to be honest I'm gonna freak out too since my own blood brothers think of me more than their brother would make me rather commit suicide.
It feels like you're not acknowledging the fact that he is very much living in a simulation, rn he feels like one wrong move and the people close to him are going to see him romantically and he doesn't like them like that. Ilya and Karyan already have a very obvious crush on him, Siren is over and done with though he's weary but he genuinely cares about his brothers and when the romance route kept showing up it disturbed him, and rightfully so, he was scared, as I think most people would be.
His life right now feels like a game because even if some things change, it stays on a relatively similar path, so any choice he makes could make the story go back to a path he doesn't want it to go to. the fact in itself that he can turn off his sensation or get quests makes him feel detached from his life. We've seen how much he cares about Sears, and he doesn't have to be afraid because he's not a potential love interest.
PS Im so so sorry i didnt realize it got so long, while reading i was very annoyed and i was going to put this at the end but i realize how long it got lol
In #6 i talk about how jerry has no goal, he says i want to see the end but has no reason as to why, he doesnt have attachment to his previous world and no attachments in this one, buddy is just like im dead. bc of this its hard to support his detachment to everything, even his own body, bc hes not working towards anything. if he had any ending in plan even if it was to just die at the end it would make it easier to support him but he chooses to make close one-sided relationships with those around him for no reason if he truly wanted the occupation ending he should have cut off everyone moment they showed romantic interest or even before when the affection thing showed up but he doesnt he keeps having friendly relationships with them. And with his family yes it probably was scary to see a notice of a romance route with your brothers but my problem was that he blamed them, he said i cant believe you had those thoughts.
So i could understand and support jerry if he just looked at the world as a simulation as he worked towards goals like living in the future as a mage, just seeing the end, dying, going back to his own world, or just to have good friendships but the problem is that he doesnt have these any of these goals he has no WILL to continue life. In #3 i complain bout jerry still using iyla, this is for two reason 1 thats mean this guy still views you as family and his only friend 2 he believes iyla to be the bad ending but doesnt cut iyla off, avoid him, or even just put distance btw them, if he views this as a game he should be playing it smarter at his big age, now he could still get healing from iyla but stop all other interactions. He fears the endings in the books but has made no actions to really distance himself from the targets
Honestly im not mad jerry has not attachments im mad that he cant choose what he wants to do. There are plenty of stories where the mc will have the goal of going home or making it to the end and living in the country, so they avoid and deflect the possible target characters stopping any relationship forming btw them even if they were once close. so while u read it youre like thats mean to the poor characters atleast the mc will have a goal in mind so it doesnt matter how mean they are to the ppl around them. Jerry HAS NO GOAL so he make one-sided attachments to ppl and just lets them believe he cares more then he does, if this was bc his goal he needed these relations i could support but he doesnt.
PS. im so sorry its so long
The thing is they don't, he even confirmed it himself that his brothers don't have any indecent thoughts about him, so he freaked out at them for no reason, I didn't even think that they did to begin
No they don't, but for some period, any time he even interacted with him he would get a status screen asking if he wanted to enter the forbidden love route. If he accidentally pressed yes at any point he would've gone down a route he didn't want.
Also, he avoided them because he didn't want to see that screen because it meant that with the press of a button his brothers' feelings for him would change, which definitely makes the brotherly love they have for him now seem fickle to him. His paranoia and fear is totally understandable.
Dw about it being long mine is too, it always ends up getting that way
I get where you're coming from cause I can see how Jerry blaming them for that's not their fault would be annoying but I think this will have to be agree to disagree
Oh no I get that, I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about how he got mad at them and assumed they were having bad thoughts about him
I think not for now but it will be developed if he take down the route. But of course you can't blame Jerry to be a major overthinker(I think any modern people of now will be) but I also think that it's good that he lashed out because of that the status screen left him alone. But of course I felt sad for the brothers not knowing what's wrong with their brother.
Yes this, I think to me it just personally annoyed me but I don't hate jerry bc of it, I understand why he acted that way, just annoyed me a bit personally, and yeah that's the word I was thinking of, he's a huge overthinker
1. jerry lowkey mean like iyla and all the others boys view him as a close friend and brother but he doesnot share that view at all like he barely cares about them.
2. i feel so bad for iyla who believes that jerry is his friend when jerry believes a book over him. ALSO he has proof that the book is not final and the story is very changeable but still believes iyla to be evil/the bad route
3. and than the audacity to continue to use him (︶n︶)＝凸
4. took him to damn long to be like the book is dif for rl so i dont forgive stay petty
5. jerry u pissing me offfff (╬￣皿￣)凸 (╬￣皿￣)凸
6. i really dont like the fact that jerry has 0 attachment to the others, like if he was fight to go back to his og world or he wanted to run away from them all i could understand, but he doesnt his plan is to just see how it ends and hopely live as a mage, soo he doesnt see them as ppl he can make emotional attachments to. he treats them as lines on paper and it wild bc its like u spent 10yrs with these ppl and dont care for them at all.
7. his body is probably destroyed
8. its understandable why he doesnt care when he has not attachments, he doesnt have a goal or reason so hes kind of just giving up on this reality, and then he doesnt make emotional attachments so he find no reason to care bout his situation. i think he must have tried to kill himself in his past bc he doesnot really seem to want to live, like he says ill be a mage ig dont care im doing it so survive but not really. ughhhh like in other stories the leads are so desperate to live but he just doesnt see that happening
9. iyla such a sad story like he just wanted to be close with his brother and uncle
10. more complaining bout jerry he blames a lot of his interaction with others on the book and then he blames their thoughts, feelings, and actions on it too and its annoying me like are u gonna believe that for the rest of ur life what bout when the story ends u think they all will just dislike u
