Strategic-Class Spirit? This would be interesting if this is was true

If Kamito ends up with Claire, the author will have to watch out when walking outside in Japan, cause people reaaaaaally hate her. Personally i just want Kamito to end with Est and Restia.

Actually, the reason I want true harem ending is for Restia and Est (oh, and Rinslet. Definitely Rinslet). IMHO, it's next to impossible getting dual spirit ending cuz author's "muh first girl".

*sigh*

It's gonna create a big shitstorm if he ends with her.

My problem is when other girls (Ellis,Fianna,Rinslet) finally have moment to be alone with Kamaito and when they try to make a move on him and things start to get sweet between them but Claire..i don't know why she will always pop up from nowhere to ruin the moment in the end.

Claire : wh-what are you doing, you pervert!? Turn into charcoal!!

I understand author tried to serve it as comic relief but see it happened over and over again, IMO it's really irritated than funny, especially when this is your favorite heroine's turn, not Claire.
Exactly, you nailed it.

If you read carefully, you will notice something different between Claire and other girls (especially Claire's POV). it can't help but make you think author give priority to Claire than other girls.

You guys are just being paranoid cause you've seen too many shitty novels :eyespin:

16 volumes and Restia is still #1 in Kamito's heart.

^I know Restia is number 1 in kamito's heart but it's author who decide how it ends or who Kamito will choose. I can't rule out the possibility.

Indeed, the contrast can be seen in the writing itself, nevermind the fact that plot developments go her way too.

As early as volume 4, Kamito has shown some form of jealousy when some flippant crown prince grabbed Claire's hand. The only other person he's shown jealousy for is Restia.

Author might get the crap idea to replace Restia with Claire in Kamito's heart.

^This.

Well... at least the author's stated favorite character is Rinslet. Maybe there will some chance of a harem ending? Maybe.

Claire seems to be a better-received character in Japan (judging from the occasional character ranking). Doesn't matter what we say here over at the West.

The treatment given to Claire really is alot different in the novel. Reading "Claire and the girls" all the time really makes me angry. Also right after every big moment for one of the girls, the author switches to Claire pov of something else, or Kamito meeting Claire.

Est is almost always number 1 in character ranking. However, the current top is Restia and Leonora after volume 15. Maybe the author will realise that harem ending is the way to go.
Edit:
Also, chapter 9 is out.

Well, Claire ending would be a very very bad ending. To be perfectly honest, it would be the worst ending. Every other female characters are much much better than her.

On the other hand, it could be worse. Just look at Strike the Blood...

Been a while since there's been Claire bashing in this thread...

It's been pretty clear that it's going to be a Claire end for quite a while now.

Est and Restia are his contracted spirits so they'll be with him as well, plus the whole Darkness Elemental Lord Princess Maiden thing makes me think the other girls will be there as mistresses, but Claire is undoubtedly the first wife.

Wait, seriously? author really said that, i mean if you look back at Rinslet's role in past volume..well it's hard to believe :heh: not to mention among girls, she received less plot and less moments with Kamito (except volume 13), i think that's not something you do with your favorite character :heh::heh::heh:

Omg Est and Restia are just so damn adorable together, i want more moments like that.

On another note Claire strikes again =p

Despite Claire's relatively unappealing, plot-induced existence, the real problem here is Kamito. He is part of a dying breed of old-school masochistic herbivore MCs who seem to (over time) favor first girl over anyone else. He makes it pretty clear right now that he is not interested in polygamy. Whether or not that will change is up to the author.

If he feels like it, he could make the whole princess maiden thing a gimmick for gags, lewd scenes and power-ups for the girls but in terms of relationships, never amount to anything. For all we know, he could make a Claire end with the other girls stating they will never give (ugh).

Claire can be Darkness Queen for all I care. Despite how 'meh' she is to me, as long as the other girls can have a true romantic relationship with Kamito (be it concubine or wife) as well, I'm cool with it, but for some reason, I can't see this happening.

Then again, I don't think the author is going to let Fianna marry anyone else.

Yeah, I was surprised myself for basically the facts you pointed out. He actually called himself out on that. :heh: He stated it in one of the afterwords. I don't remember quite well if it was in volume 13's afterword or another.

Uh.


Do people really still consider Claire to be the "main girl"?

Between popularity poles in which the spirits blow away all of the human girls combined, constant reference to Restia's legal wife status, and Eat and Restia being central to all of Kamito's major development, it's pretty obvious she's fallen behind.

She certainly holds an advantage over the other human girls, but it took ten volumes and direct intervention from her sister to get to the "Darkness Maiden" thing, which at best is a lesser version of the bond with his spirits. And even that was eventually disseminated amongst the human girls.

Claire is Kamito's partner, something she's done a surprisingly good job of living up to by counterbalancing his power with effective strategy. But between his increasing importance on a world scale and the whole Demon King thing, her role has shifted to supporting him instead of leading the team.

At this point, her "main girl" status is no longer a real factor. Est and Restia are with him forever, the other girls have received his "blessing", and the story has dramatically shifted in favor of a harem end.

*sign* Claire - one of the last remnant of the plague called "loli tsundere 'main' heroine" :upset:

I hope this is the last time I rant about it :heh:

and seriously, it would be almost "offensive" if this series ended up with Claire's ending alone.

there's no reason to not go with the harem end at this stage

EDIT: ^ her "main girl" status might seem lack luster in our eyes that care anout character development, but who knows that is the case for the author and his editor

like @Y Ddraig Goch said, Kamito is still among the dying breed of MC who values "first girl" above all else, because they are "connected" by some means other than "friendsship" *puke*

....sorry guys, I can't take it anymore, I'm just gonna enjoy the new update dheh:

Ah the forum bickering of harems, real, imagined, or otherwise is something that will never change. Everyone insists they're right, no one ever listens, and nothing ever changes from the start of the argument. The proverbial hamster wheel to absolutely nowhere.

i think this part matches what kamito think of claire
