Knowing that that's the type of relationship they're in, it does unfortunately kill my desire to want to continue reading this story, though it's seriously one of my favorites. After going back to chapter 17, and reading it knowing this, I can see where you foreshadowed this type of thing. When I originally read it, I kind of thought Rin was just calling it that to get Shirou to agree to it, not actually living it out. I also can't see Shirou, Rin, or Sakura actually sleeping with random people. Rider, I dont know enough about to really know. I guess what's most confusing is the fact they initiated the relationship in the first place, then want to sleep with random people. Why not just continue being friends with him instead of getting him to agree to an open relationship? I think Shirou would have been fine just being friends. It seemed like his arm was kind of twisted into agreeing to it in the first place. So many different routes that could have been taken man, but regardless, I enjoyed the story. Thank you for it.

I'm not gonna bother addressing the tantrum the author has thrown for the obvious and expected hate he was gonna get for involving Shirou in an open relationship, no matter the justification. In a small way its our fault for missing that little bit when Rin first meets Haruka.

But there is nothing realistic about an open relationship. That is unless you consider something that fails 99% of the time realistic. Most open relationship are initiated by women, usually against the boyfriends or husbands wishes, long after the initial relationship started. Women ask for an open relationship because either they are already cheating on their partner and want to justify it, or they've found someone they want to cheat with and looking for permission, in other words they not love their man. Men very rarely ask for an open relationship, and the ones that usually do, do it at the very start of the relationship and those that accept to open up their relationship do it because they fear losing their girlfriend or wife and this almost always torments them with the fact that they are not good enough to meet their girls wants, especially in the bedroom.

If the woman is the one who opens up the relationship a few things usually happen. If the woman likes one of her hookups, breaks it off with her partner and joins the new one. Stays with the boyfriend or husband, but the man will be absolutely miserable.

One of the most obvious signs that these types of relationships are usually something women do because they do not think that their partner will have any success is if the boyfriend or husband starts seeing a few women, the original woman will start feeling jealous and insecure even if she herself is hooking up and will usually ask to close the relationship again.

If the man closes the relationship, he can now never be sure that his girl will continue seeing who she was before or new people without his knowledge, in other words cheating. Realistically, as soon as a woman asks her man for an open relationship, that relationship is over.

I cannot take anything Rin or Rider say about their relationship with Shirou as serious, because no woman, no matter how casual the relationship is, will ever suggest an open relationship if she is in love with her man. Shirou should not even call them his girlfriends, that implies certain levels of commitment that they are not showing him, they are at best f buddies.

Well, you're right at least about people having double standards.

That part's correct - it's the "supporting open relationships" part in the first place that makes you a true libcuck lmao

Also, contagious STDS are a thing you know; the more people you have sex with, the more likely you are to get infected and infect others. And when lots of people have lots of sex with other people...

Well, just look at Africa's STDS pandemics, lmao

lmao what a libcuck you are

Abyssal Apsu, so you’re a cuck as well, God there’s so many of you

Abyssal Apsu, so you’re a cuck as well. God there’s so many of you

I would like to be on your discord and read the other chapters as among other things, I generally find equality in such relationships enjoyable.

Wow that an... with the discord and paywall stuff. Yikes. You really seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding about a LOT of things.
Shame, since you had the best Medea route fanfiction, among all three or whatever of them but the point stands.
Well, Rowling is a self-righteous, hypocritical, self-absorbed, scummy, piece of garbage, and I can still enjoy Harry Potter. So I guess good luck with the Medea one, and hope this one gets some actual quality stuff going for it.

Wah this chapter is hardcore...nice

Comment below. Rider sleeping around does not fit her personality, where did you even learn that, from Doujins? Or some fanfic?

Rider sleeping around fits her personality.
Rin, however, doesn't.
Not because she's an accessory to shirou but just cause that's not who she is.
I wouldn't even have commented on this but the author did decide to put that note at the end of the chapter for some reason.

Honestly I'm more offended by making seta a huge asshole who fucks his students for the sake of drama.

This is...messed up. On the earlier chapters you have Rider and Rin saying how important Shirou is to them and how they wouldn’t want anyone than him, but then you went and said that they have been going around sleeping with anybody. This isn’t giving them personality, you just made them into shallow biches whose body was for everyone to partake in while they keep spouting lies about how Shirou is the most important man in their life. This is fcked up. Shirou already has low self esteem, he would probably drown in depression and be cold hearted cynical bastrd if he found out about it. Author, you really messed up. No, your thinking is messed up. You have been greatly influenced by modern feminism. Go hit the gym and not just stay in your mom’s basement

I'll rather just read the chapters here as it goes, rather than reading in advance and growing a hate for it.
Though regarding the issue with their sex life... yah let's just say we all have different morals and values.
I'm more on the loyal type of relationship in a story even if it's polygyny, though can't really fault author's on rationalising things and making plots based too much on reality. Though it helps in giving insight on things that may stem in that relationship structure.
Though I hope I won't become too fed up with this fic before or after I reach chapter 34. Cause I still like it for now.

Yes, but all the girls in Shirou's harem love him and would never betray him, except for Rin, because she is a tower professional. Without Shirou, you will not mess with anyone, and also, the love and camaraderie made during the Holy Grail War would not be broken. , previous comment, you are a fool
