nm, I found it. It's Ichiya no Mahou | One-Night Magic

Anon, everyone knows that a monster girl who focuses on her work that much would get around the problem of keeping a mate by turning her office into her new home and keeping him there.

it was kind of cute though. girl was still an elf.

Reminded strongly of this…

Business foxgirl hires a rent-a-cuddle (not a rent-a-cock) to pretend he's her boyfriend for a weekend with her family; they fall in love.

Like an RR of Pretty Woman, but with monstergirls.

Come on, Anon, surely you have a single friend who might like her…

What the hell do you think I did? And I shared that information, for the benefit of everyone. Suck a dick, whiner.

>every story has to have a happy ending.

She has a job. She's a supervisor. She has the pride of being at the top of her team. How much happiness does she get? She's already got her happy ending based on the choices she's made.

>"I want a to be successful in the workplace! I'll find someone to date later."

>"Oops! my job takes up all my time and I don't have time to date."

>"Oh well, I'm sure I'll find time at some point I'll just keep saving up for now until I have some free time to date and until then I'll just keep saving up for now until I have some free time to date and until then I'll just keep saving up for now until I have some free time to date and then…."

>and then she's in her mid 30's

>"where did all the time go?"

>she looks in the mirror before work every morning and sees a ragged woman.

>she has to cake on her make up and wear a her hair a certain way to hide the ravages of time and stress that have whittled down her looks.

>She's had a handful of "dates" that never went anywhere because she was always busy with work and the respective boyfriend didn't like how she never had time for him.

>She's so enveloped in her work that it's become her life.

>Chasing after promotions and incremental bonuses because "I can always do a little bit better. I'll work over the weekend!"

>At this point she doesn't have time for any meaningful relationships and instead settles for casual conversations around the break room.

>By the time she gets home from work she's too tired to pursue any kind of dating and instead settles for watching netflix and amazon shows.

>She's effectively given up trying to find love at this point.

>She wouldn't know what to do with a man even if she had the time to have him.

I don't like stories where the characters get everything they want. It's not realistic. For the sake of green text stories, it's about brevity. Unless the green text is some epic across multiple posts you don't have enough time to establish conflicts and resolutions that would feel satisfying.

If I want a compelling story with conflicts and resolutions I'll just write a proper story so I can inject more style into the wording that is lost over the medium of green text.

>>336613

>It's not realistic

>redditspacing

This is a waifu board, where we pine for the day when a portal will open that will bridge the world of our perfect monster waifus with our own. If you want realism you can go back to cuckchan, where I'm sure they'll appreciate the continuation of your story where the supervisor eats a bullet after being invited to another wedding.

>>336623

There's nothing wrong with having a story that doesn't have a happy ending.

>>336626

I don't have a problem with writing a story with a sad ending as much as I do with the given reason of "muh realism." A "realistic" depiction of monster girls tends to be 3DPD with horns and a tail, with the explanation that since real women are whores surely monster girls are too.

>>336635

>redditspacing is just a meme

It looks like shit and it shows that you're a newfag. If you wrote those other stories that makes it worse, it means you've had time to see how people post here, you just don't care.

>>336613

Jesus fucking christ

You come into a christmas cake thread and post a story with an implicit not-even-once. I point out this, and you sperg out over muh non-happy endings.

Where the fuck did I say I wanted a happy ending where she had it all? Fuck, where did you say she has been trying but kept being left because she never makes time for her bf?

All I fucking did was point out the depressing end and suggest a way to make it hopeful. Not happy. Hopeful. Maybe anon suggests a friend, and they're incompatible and don't even reach a second date. But if that is left out, it is up to the reader to decide. Even if you had conveyed that she's Japaning herself into solitude, what's wrong with ending on a chance to try again to break the cycle of lonely depression?

You know, instead of the 9mm pension she seemed to be headed for.

>>336665

>sperg out

Perhaps? Autism speaks and all.

I was more pointing out that she's not actually that bad off. She has a good job as a supervisor. She has enough money to buy her entire team pizza. She's not homeless on the street and barely scraping by. She has the agency to choose her own path and she's chosen one that's led to her being successful in her professional life but not at love.

As with most greentext stories I like let the anons fill in some blanks for themselves and leave the ending open-ended. If I wanted to tell the story where she killed herself I'd tell you that she fucking killed herself. That's rather melodramatic though and I don't like using that kind of story mechanic to generate feels. I did use it in some other stories but my defense would be that they're greentext stories and traditional storytelling tools don't quite fit within the parameters of a single image board post at times.

>what's wrong with ending on a chance to try again to break the cycle of lonely depression?

Nothing. I just like some occasional sad posting. People assume suicide is the endgame but that sounds overly dramatic to me. You might assume that's the outcome but the reality is someone in her situation will probably end up dying alone as their "bad end".That's if they were to even arrive at such an end. If everyone offed themselves over unrequited love we'd have people killing themselves all over the place.

I guess I also enjoy people expressing empathy towards characters I create. Sad posting almost always garners feels from people. What I find amusing is the kind of projection and interesting conjecture created by so few details I give.

>You know, instead of the 9mm pension she seemed to be headed for.

If she were to go for the absolute worst end I'd see her OD'ing on some manner of opiates after her valium prescription stopped doing the trick. If you want a suicide that makes sense anyway. Women typically don't have it in them to blow their brains out.

>>336669

More like 'fuck snake' amirite

>>336668

Dude it's not with arguing with them. Odds are they're an /r9k/ cross poster who thinks any slightly sad ending immediately means suicide.

Honestly I agree with you to an extent, too many writefags go straight to the "Iove you" "I love you too" ending without fail. As much as I love a good end, it's starting to get old, and most importantly, predictable. Real shit I thought the greentext would end with supervisor getting the dudes dick; it was a pleasant surprise.

This works well as a cautionary tale which happens all too often. Don't be that supervisor, Anons.

Right in the feels.

The jump to 42 years later definitely adds a layer of melancholy to the story.
