Just one thing comes to mind: If Rudy could time-travel, why can't Man-god? Would he not notice that Rudy cheated destiny by going back in time? This plot only makes sense if Man-god is not all-knowing / all-powerful, he needs some shackles for it to work.

However, Man-god also proved to know a bit of the future and consequences to choices, regarding Rudy doing or not some things. I want to know how he got this information, if he can see the future but only a much shorter timeframe, or if someone else who is also time-traveling is telling him things.

Rudy already had some connection to time-travel magic, since his eye can see the future, so he probably took inspiration from the eye, to create his time-travel magic.

To echo the words of that one dude: peak fiction

One thing I dislike is how Rudy does not share his troubles with his wives.

Like c'mon, you are married. Shouldn't your spouse(s) be your most important partner and confidant?

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago

Tbf, how the fuck do you explain all this? Not saying you're wrong about needing to be open to spouses, but Rudy's situation is damned messy. From Sylphie and Roxy's perspective, there's just a random dead guy that shows up in the house in the middle of the night. That alone is suspicious. And given that Oldeus was already dead by that point, they only have Rudy's account of what was said. If Rudy just explained what was said to them and they just accepted it without question it'd be unrealistic.

Also, I don't think they're aware that Rudy was reincarnated and that he was in his 30's when he died in his previous life. This detail has huge implications on how he's interacted with them since they first met. And Oldeus knowing Rudy's original name is the main proof behind him being from the future at that point, as Rudy hadn't frozen/found the rat yet.

Rudy's reincarnation would need to be revealed to explain everything. While Cliff can probably see it with his new demon eye he's unlikely to leak that detail given how much they've been through. The only other way it could be revealed is if the Man-God tells someone else. Honestly, keeping his future self (and by extension his reincarnation) secret is the simplest solution. I get that keeping secrets from your spouse is bad, but his actions here are understandable given the lopsided risks between being open and being secret.

The big issue is how does he restart contact with Eris? Just sending a letter out of the blue is suspicious (though it's unlikely Eris will pick up on it) and Rudy still has mixed feelings about her. The other options are to try to engineer a more natural seeming situation for them to meet up (which isn't good due to the manipulation involved) or to just wait for Eris to show up on her own and hope things go smoothly.

That being said, in that last option I listed it'd probably go better than it did for Oldeus since Rudy won't be grieving for Roxie and Sylphie and also he knows that Eris's aggression is from her caring for him and being terrible at communication. Personally, I think letting Eris just show up on her own and letting things work out naturally would be the least manipulative option at this point. But doing so is a risk, and with Sylphie's and Roxy's safety already being threatened Rudy's probably not willing to take chances

Self report on the author for how relationships work

[–] devaly@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It's a very difficult spot, because of the butterfly effect. I suppose some choices would become very hard if his wives would also know of the diary. Taking Eris in, for example, would not be easier if they knew that it was mostly to avoid in-fighting, or further difficult paths, and not love.

[–] Endmaker@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

the butterfly effect

The butterfly effect has started the moment future Rudy came back. Present Rudy has acknowledged as much.

... some choices would become very hard ... Taking Eris in ... not love.

That's working under the assumption that Rudy must make all the decisions himself.

How about having him consult his wives? How about being honest with them - even about Eris - and making these difficult decisions as a team? That's how healthy relationships work, no?

Then again, looks like I'm taking this fictional piece of work too seriously 😅

Wonder how he could even stop Nanahoshi from going down the bad route. Like seriously, what is he even gonna say? "oh yeah dont stress if you fail"

Honestly only way I see it being resolved is if she gets to go back home, or if her character changes completely.

[–] devaly@ani.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would guess he has to make her feel at home in the new world, that's all he can offer. She has to come with acceptance that too much time would have passed, and everyone she knows is dead. And he has to offer her a place to belong.

Juat adding yet one more to the harem then?

/s

[–] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think he actually loves her the way he does with the other 3. At best he could offer her a place in his household, but it would not be as a partner.

Sylphie would be able to detect that there isn't true love between them and that would be what could end their marriage.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

I don't think he actually loves her the way he does with the other 3.

Hence the /s

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think the /s is warranted. I was hoping the show wouldn't go full harem, but it keeps doing so. It's the worst part of the show IMO.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

From what I've heard, it's just Roxy, Sylphie, and Eris that he marries.

Though there's more messed up pairings with the other characters that I've heard of
