Since then he returned to work in late 2011 and continued until Autum 2012 when it was evident that he was too sick to continue. He confirmed during that time that vol 21 was complete and only 22 remained. Further reports indicate that he had gotten quite far on it already and in one twitter post he confirmed that ZnT would span for 22 volumes, thus implying that the ending was already planned and only had to be written down. Furthermore he was involved with the creation of the fourth season of the ZnT anime and was very satisfied with it, so one can assume that his planned ending would've been similar, but more fleshed out as the LN is in comparison to the anime adaption. There is a chance of it ZnT continuing towards its intended end, but since we have no official statement from MF Bunko we can only wait and see. Could anyone go and ask them on their twitter? Please be as polite as you can if you do. Last edited by amtro; 2013-04-12 at 08:05. |

(Hopefully this is the right thread, though this isn't so much LNs as short stories.)
Does anyone know anything about the side stories that supposedly came with ZnT season two DVDs? Someone on Baka-Tsuki forums asked about them (link here), but I couldn't find anything from just Google. (I still have a tiny doubt on whether these short stories even exist, much less finding the titles of them.) |

How much did the franchise reveal about Wales?
It's concrete that he's Henrietta's cousin via their fathers, and that he's a triangle wind mage, but that's about it. From LN v2, I guess I can infer that he fits the Determinator trope, and is maybe one of those who holds fast to his pride. LN v4, said he's the "eldest child", I think, so that probably means he has younger brothers? But other than that I don't know much. |

So no. And harem ends are just downright degrading and humiliating for the girls.

And there is the social norms. For ages in Halkeginia, royals married royals, the fact that a Hero comes out of nowhere and saves the world isn't going to bring down ages-old traditions and customs just because ''he is the Hero''. He will be thanked and rewarded as he deserves, but that's it. They will not make him King just for that. Finally, harems end. Spoiler for Rant:

Saito is not going to be crowned king, but rather act as Herietta's king consort and act as marshal of the force - similar to the current royal family in England. |

If I remember right, the whole takedown of the Ancient Dragon was a collective effort and Saito simply gave the final blow. So much for ''legendary''. And I doubt one guy is going to stay alive long on his own, Saito is not a Super Saiyan, he has obvious limitations and there are ways to defeat him. But I agree that Saito, the ''Gandalfr, could act as a mean of detterence of some sorts, just no need for him to be put on the throne (hint: see ''the Heavy Wind'').

@allfictions
Ummmmm..the setting of ZnT was taking at medieval era, which having a concubine is totally acceptable for higher status people. In fact, Henrietta was aware of her grandfather's scandal and she seems doesn't mind about it. She actually encouraged it, and she was willingly to be Saito's women. This is the information I got from anime, so I am not sure whether this is stated in novel or not. For me, Harem End is not actually bad if the male lead is competent, and the both sides are agreed about it. Heck, even in modern day, many rich and powerful men have at least one mistress kept in their bays. |

I'm glad there are others who seem to hate harems with as burning a passion as I do.
The way most harems are written are downright degrading. There is one 'main' girl (Louise in this case) and the rest are tacked on as liking the MC for pretty much the reason of fanservice. The various additional 'heroines' are made to fill as many niches and fetishes as possible to appeal to different people. Seriously, that's like half the reason they exist. Enough meta; in verse this means that even if a harem end does eventuate they're second best to main girl and are basically getting the scraps. A consolation prize. The whole 'I know I'll never be number one but I'm ok with just being loved even a little' is the most bullshit humiliating train of thought I can imagine slapping someone with. Doesn't help the MC is usually a dense/perverted **** but they attract all the girls anyway because hey we need a story. That said Seizon is awesome. That's how you do harem right. Most of the time it isn't done right and just showcases all that is wrong with the industry. For the love of god let this genre die.
