Your quote implies that Nodoka risking her life on something she cares about is stupid. Who are you to make that judgement for her, to claim that what she cares about isn't work risking her life over? So is everyone who does anything risky that you don't think is worth it stupid? Just a really weird line of argument that borderlines on projection rather than an objective evaluation of the circumstances and internationalities behind the characters.
On the Yumi scene, it's not headcanon when Nodoka literally says:
Yumi: Why... Why that?
Nodoka: Because I think that would hurt you more.
Yumi: No! Why would that hurt me?
Yumi: Why would something like that hurt me!? Why do you think that!?
The point of the scene, other than revenge fetish porn material, is this confrontation with Yumi and her own feelings. Up until this point, she has convinced herself that she doesn't have any feelings towards Sensei, to the point where she genuinely believes it. Nodoka forces Yumi to make a choice - choose yourself, or Sensei. And it is incredible character development for Yumi to choose to hurt herself over watching Sensei be degraded when her key character trait is running away to not get hurt. There's no excuses here, and Yumi has to face the fact that she holds some sort of feelings towards Sensei. It's not about Sensei and Yumi getting closer, it's about the development of Yumi's character.
On Nodoka's writing, it's crazy how you downplay it's importance to Nodoka when it's literally her raison d'etre.
>I write because I have to do.
>Because I am gifted.
>It is not my fault others don't understand this gift.
>It just means I have to make them.
"She can just talk" and "It's just her job" lmfao. This character "Nodoka" you made up sounds nothing like the one in the game I just played.
Once again you ignore the fail to blackmail part. Shocking.
At least you're admitting that revenge plays a part now, but you seem to completely ignore that Yumi just storms off if she hasn't
already faced her feelings for him back in her 'Abyss' Chapter 2 Event:
You're forgetting something that already happened a Chapter prior.
If anything, Nodoka
changed Yumi's feelings for Sensei in a negative way. Sensei disappointed Yumi by just standing there and letting this happen to her. She makes it rather clear later:
And if she's actually blackmailed, she adds:
Nevertheless, if your point is simply that Nodoka changed Yumi, then yeah, I know. I said it in my first reply to you:
When it comes to Nodoka, she definitely did it for revenge, but for the progression of everyone is likely another reason. This includes Yumi, who has changed since then. (Even without actually blackmailing Yumi, Yumi gets in trouble for trying to kill her afterwards, which leads to Yumi changing, and it was likely part of her plan from the get go.)
I'm starting to wonder if you've even played the same game, and of course you ignored the whole point again. Nodoka has been writing and publishing since she was around 10:
Years before this game starts. Years before she could write
this story.
Her gift and this world are two different things that she wants others to understand. You seem to be conflating the two because you want it to be the same thing. Or need it to be.
I get that your entire made up version of Nodoka can't survive if she's doing anything more than writing this story, but your version of Nodoka isn't how the game portrays her.
Nodoka writes all sorts of things in all sorts of genres:
Not to mention, she's literally sidelined her writing profession at the moment to focus on other things.
