Yeah I realized that too, that character felt like a self insert. Does she have any other non bl works?
Imo I think she's referring to her previous more violent type of work, she has gathered a more "mainstream" media that could get more bothered about such topics, but still I think regardless of what people think she should make whatever content she likes and makes her happy.
Why do I feel like Harada was trying to voice her insecurities regarding her earlier doujinshi/manga releases through the words of that illustrator...
If that's the case then we should start appreciating her non BL works without bringing up unnecessary info about her previous works...
