Well if I was alone with no friends and not particularly caring for any help... I'd chuckle a little too. I wish Kiri the best of luck.

Goodness! I hope she has thick scales.

kiri, I like.
The main character, on the other hand, is just kind of successfully solving his problem with a panic attack. I don't know why, but I seem to be rejecting this. It makes me kind of mad. I guess it has something to do with ll the times people have said, "crying doesn't solve your problems."

Yet, here you have a work of fiction where it does. He just cries to someone and they fly to prance and make the decision for him and everything works out. As a work of fiction, you have to be believable or no one takes any of your themes or lessons seriously because you can make literally anything happen just by saying it happened. However, I guess there is nothing wrong with a dragon-pony taking pity on someone and embarking on a quest to take him to people who might actually help. Here is the thing about that, though: Your main character either is able to decide that the pain of living in prance is less than the pain of living without moth-pony, or your main character is not able to decide that the pain of living in prance is less than the pain of living without moth-pony.

These are the only two options for him. The free pony-dragon ride doesn't change that. So, either he will resent, then grow to hate the dragon and the moth for collectively forcing him to live in a place where he simply can't while also hating himself for being incompatible, or he will find that it was completely worth it.

If he finds it is completely worth it, that means it would have ALWAYS been worth it which means that it was the correct decision to make. This means that he was unable to make the correct decision but it got forced on him anyway.

Unless, of course, the decision it taken from him a second time by unforeseen circumstances after he arrives.

4941615 Solving his problem, no. This is a start, a forced start, someone asking in a round-about way "Please help me." His problem is far from fixed, and the story is far from over.

And speaking from experience. Sometimes you just can't pull the trigger on things. You need that push, you need someone to force you into something. Depression eats away your ability to act, and if you can't or don't seize those clear moments to get help, you're not going to get out of it.

You're not yourself, you panic, you lock up. You see the right path, but you can't force yourself to take it. It's fatigue, it's apathy, it's fear, and most importantly you need help.

Depression and phobia aren't things most people can overcome without help, and that help can come in a lot of different ways, but it still needs to come.

I... first response I wanted to give was something about how I outlined a whole bunch of things which may or may not happen in my comment, as well as putting in at least one exception

However, I think it's more effective to say that I said he "was solving" not that he "has solved", meaning that I am fully aware that his life is still a work in progress(<-behold, iz snark)

4941657
Still not really solving. Solving implies something has been fixed, and his major problem has still remained untreated. He's moving to a place that might solve it, yes, but no one can start it but him. Also I edited my last comment to uh...yeah....

wow.. and I thought I broke down when I felt alone.... I hope he gets help.
his statements about dieing at the end might seem grim but her did just have a dracopony smash his gut in and then his skull.
as grim as it feels i can't wait for the next chapter sir hat.

When you gather wood, nails, and tools, are you building a house?
It's kind of a grammatical discussion at this point, btw, just wanted to make it clear that we aren't talking about your character anymore.

If you "are solving" then the "solving" is definitively incomplete. If the actions you are taking will turn out to be part of the solution, but don't solve anything themselves, were you solving despite not having yet solved?

Godspeed cabin boy.

Hmm im not so sure about this...

Bum-bum-buuuuuummmmmm

The main character is completely unlikeable.

4942035
Yea. He can't talk good, can't be in crowds, and seems to exhibit signs of agoraphobia(Fear of the outside). This guy's pitiful AND boring. The agoraphobic on 'House M.D.' was more entertaining.

4942212 Oh, such a character COULD be interesting. But this is just three chapters of him doing nothing and complaining how awful his life is. Nobody wants to read a story where the "hero" just sits around and whines and wallows in self-loathing.

4942330 Seconding this, suffering characters, hell tortured characters can be compelling and interesting. They often are. But nobody likes reading about whiney bitches even if their life is as horrible as this guy's.

4942406
Or even worse then this guy. It would still be boring.
4942330
And you're right, such a character can be interesting... except he just sits there. I have a feeling that a story from Rouge's PoV would be better.

Damnit, now I want to read even more!

Really good story, by the way

At first I thought this was going to be a story about senseless and pointless sex, but so far I have been proven wrong. This story actually has a really good idea behind it. I'll keep watching this til the end!

Well damn, Kiri. I guess I should never come to you with a problem, then.

The cliff hangers!!! GAHHH

Crazy.

... Yeah, that guy needs some help like REALLY bad. What the heck even happened that MADE him like this?

4942853 He is a Hikikamorri. I think that's how it's spelled.
