Honoka's a fan girl so her love only weights as a fan~ Mayumi, shes you typical harem member who likes the MC but only takes a couple of screen time to show it~ If you want a specific she give the feeling like Rukia from Bleach~ Lina it would spoil but think of her like Ayase from Oreimo~ Shizuku gives the feeling like Hinata from Naruto(Not Shipuuden) I guess... Lastly for Erika she very much the same as Misaki(Maid-sama) or C.C(Code Geass) well basically shes like the typical Heroine of a Shoujo Manga~!

Sure, and it is apparently specialized for the loop casting that allowed him to do that trick. However, from what little I got out of their descriptions, I would think that if the CAD was an obstacle to him pulling off that attack, it would be a case of "all or nothing." The CAD is either capable of making the attack work, or it's not, and if it is it will work however effectively Tatsuya wants it to. If the CAD can't handle the loop casting then the attack won't work at all, and if it can handle it then the attack should be completely effective.
That's my read on the situation, anyway.

The magic used to knock out Hanzo and the one used in the 9SC are the same, Resonance but there is a big difference, it's the CAD. Against Hanzo he had his trusted Trident, so he was able to shoot 3 psion waves consecutively with Loop Cast. Besides his victory, the onlookers were also surprised because with his mediocre magic skills he should not be able to send waves that strong, his calculations helped him to send 3 waves with different output. Basically with his personal CAD and calculations, his 3 weak waves can have an effect comparable to the Resonance of a strong magician without the Loop Cast system.
In the 9SC, he had a low-spec CAD without the LC system so he could only send one of his weak psion waves, that's why his target was not as affected as Hanzo and why Masaki had nothing to fear because this level of Resonance would not even affect him. |

asking these questions with limited information, wiki knowledge, and a quick skim of the light novel up to volume 13.
am i right to say tatsuya and miyuki receive barely any character development up to the latest light novel? it seems that way to me after i skimmed through everything. tbh i just wanted to stop skimming after i came to that conclusion. they were more or less the exact same people from reading volume 1. their beliefs, morals, virtues, ethics all remained the same. basically they have no internal conflict about themselves or life at all so what exactly is the main plot? it can't possibly be the slice of life, magic combat, double life of tatsuya. or is it? all i know is tatsuya wants to overthrow the yotsuba clan for miyuki's sake. if so, holy cow that is one slow plot progression with way too many subplots and they're still showing the politics of the world tatsuya and miyuki live in! at this point is the author even done writing about the politics? i thought we were done reading about politics until i read the 10 R&D labs in volume 13. does tatsuya even come close to dying in any battle? i was aware he is a mary stu but not to this extent. the guy doesn't even struggle at all to win his battles. did the web novel even progress towards the main plot at all before it became a light novel? |

A LN is not something where you can just "skim through", your questions just seem to be complaints in a convoluted form. |

it is true a character needs to completely change due to character development but i have not seen or read anything to trigger that development. is there really nothing that jumpstarts that character development for tatsuya and miyuki so far? i ask these since this is a Q&A thread and i do look for what the main plot is and what the character developments are like. it is why i skimmed. it's already seen mahouka has plenty of subplots so that was not a concern of mine. i do have other things to do at night after work most of the time and i use the spare time wisely to know if it's worth my time for what i look for in a story. thanks for answering the previous questions. it looks like i'll be moving on towards other things now. edit: also no need to sound obnoxious with using quotations marks around skimming every time. i skim through a story to see if it has what i look for in a story like i explained. if there is anything that bothers me, then i come to Q&A threads like these around various forum boards to verify.

I really don't recommend using that kind of standard for the story. This isn't exactly a "Protagonist lives and becomes a more complex person" kind of a story. This is more of a "Watch the mastermind villain (Tatsuya) plan his goals" kind of a story. That being said, you do find out aspects of Tatsuya and Miyuki that weren't presented immediately as time goes on, simply because there wasn't enough information to work with initially. |

If he is a criminal-borderline pervert like the MC in DxD or she is a bitch like the MH in Zero, i would scream for character development. But when he is the ideal shounen in a shoujo manga and she is the ideal shoujo in a shounen manga, i think they are good as they are now. "ya don't fix what aren't broken." Regarding "plot", I would ask you this: what is the main plot of you own real life story? As i said, people want "character development" because the characters are not to their liking and they want to change them out. I'm curious what kind of character you want Tatsuya and Miyuki become?

about the "internal conflicts about themselves or life", there are...plenty!!! No really, on both side of Tatsuya and Miyuki.
Also, this LN is not about might vs might. It's more about how you use your power. Tatsuya himself is at the top of the world in term of destructive prowess, BUT he can't just go and destroy the world, can he? He did struggle in many of the fights, yes he had to hold back a lot due to many reasons (which are interesting by themselves) About the plot, well, it's not save the world like Naruto ATM , if I had to sum it up, then I guess "it is about Tatsuya struggling, not in term if power, but in many aspects to fit in and perhaps change the world (for his imouto )". *Note: it's not revenge like in Code Geass

also asking a question to a question to answer a question to make the person answer your question is pretty evasive and rude. i am not about to tell parts of my personal life to the world wide web or in this case on this forum. and i'm not one to think to myself "Wow, I wish this character would be like this instead of this." if i'm reading or watching. i'm along for the ride and that is all. now whether i liked what i read or watched is another thing. i view character development as a way to change the pace and direction of where a story, plot, and subplots will head towards to. it's not because i don't like how the characters are written. |

Do you think my whole precious life would be limited to one puny "main plot"? No, i as well as most people are far more awesome than that. Our life consist of many many "main plot", which they call "sub-plot" for they are many. You don't look at someone's biography and ask: "what's the main plot of this ... work?" do you? As for Mahouka, the plot is still in the dark and it's the charm of it. It keeps me thinking, just like Pendragon books. Only until recent volume (12 &13- the second year), we know all previous events connect with each others.. I think the pace is good. If i come off as rude, please pardon me. It's just a rhetorical question. i did not intent to interrogate you or anything.
