Spoiler for vol 11:
I have never said anything about being on average or not, and I admit that the structure of story is not good. I've never been looking into great masterpiece here because it wasn't written in such manner. The writing have always been like a pet project, and there are some pretty nich things written in this series not enjoyable to all.(Many people hates the babbling about his "creator" image) But if you don't enjoy the interactions between Tomoya and Megumi, then why are you even reading this far in the first place? This is the main point of this title and their interaction in this volume IS good. And their relationship IS advancing. That's what I said. If you think I'm deluding myself about how great it is, then it's just your imagination. |

I read the 9 and 10 volumes some time ago, and just started with the 11 (already read the summary some days ago), but I understand the people that are saying that the series is being milked away, cause it's probably true. but those two novels are made to show how the relationship the main heroines of each novel can't be the end girl.
in both stories we have the idiot MC making a love letter to them via the story that he wrotes, and how the past and present has changed their interactions showing in the end how he envisions the relationship as the otaku he is. in vol 9, the case with Eriri we clearly know how much he loved and how much she is an important figure in his life and as an otaku, but at the same time how he can NEVER EVER forgive her or see what did he wrong when they were kids and that passes to vol 10, where we have them discuss again from the feedback of Eriri. in vol 10, we have Utaha and the impossibility of her and Tomoya of being a couple, first they made Eriri be her support when she was crushed by Akane, and how she can't show her weakness to him and that she can't always be the goddess that he sees on her (problem 1 for both, she doesn't want help from him ever, and he doesn't ever sees her as a possible couple but as the monster writer she is). Second, from the first part, Tomoya CANNOT or MUST NOT go for Utaha cause it would be the problem with Eriri when she shutted-in all over again, and the price he had to pay was really a big one, in the end from that he lost Blessing Soft, so he can't repeat that mistake again. Utaha got bad luck right there and for how she is, he could have helped her, cause in the end he is a fan of her first. Finally we have the "love letter", were he knows what the answer is - the first ending were both have a different path for them, this is important, cause even if he sees her as a woman and is always teased by her, he knows he isn't the one for her, and as he realized that, he changed it, he wants more, he wants the happy ending, that why. - the second ending is the one were she's weak, and as everyone that read the novel, that's not Kasumigaoka Utaha, and we have a change from love letter to a rejection one from the perspective of Utaha, cause she is a monster writer, but her pride is as big as her talent and she can't accept that heroine, cause she feels that Tomoya wants her to be like that, when she knows she can't never give up as a creator and even when she knows that, she still loved what he wrote (the epilogue shows it), cause is him showing that after all, he really had feelings for her in the end, even in his weird otaku way tl;dr --> vol 9 and 10 were made to make the reader realize which girl he (the author) gonna pick to be the end girl, by making clear why the heroine from each novel is not gonna work. and Kuroageha said that Tomoya is the one that is dragging the future for both of them, that's a lie, that's what Akane thougt first, but if not for him, Utaha would never have got her groove again, and him being a part important of Utaha, is what helped made Koisuru metronome the big seller that it was. sorry for the bad english in some parts.

What I find very painful about this LN is how the drama is extended to the point that can't even be taken in a serious way. We know Eriri is out of the race, Utaha sadly is out of the race too (even when she's superior to Eriri and Megumi), which leads to know the ending will be Megumi's route. For me, Tomoya needs to stay alone, he don't deserve any of the girls. |

I really like Utaha too, but she's too prideful and even knowing the level of denseness of Tomoya, she doesn't try to confess when she gets the chance (although the scene at the hotel is like realizing Tomoya probably has psychological issues to not get her advances) at least Utaha got her own spin-off that has a lot more chapters and shows that she can get ending there (not like egoistic lily, but well, not much of a fan of tsudenres) I understand where you are getting how she doesn't deserve them, but I would love that he ends with Megumi cause they really work good together and it's really funny their interactions, and when the girls disappeared and Tomoya confronting her when she started to ignore him and telling how much the game and the team meant to her, it really got me, and well I like that even if she wasn't the first cover girl she's indeed the main focus of his games and he shows the more romantic feelings for her.

What was good of volume 11 is the way how Megumi showed another side of her, something more dynamic and colorfull instead of the flat personality she always showed on previous volumes. Tomoya on the other hand is still an idiot but this time we saw some sort of confirmation about his real feelings and yeah the girl that moves his world is Megumi. Anyway I really want to see this ending soon, there is nothing more to explore, just end the ride. |

Hahaha this is absolutely hilarious, Maruto is still pushing more pointless drama to milk the LN, check this out. This is one of those LN's who started in a really good way and ended on being utter trash thank's to the author's greed. Seriously he needs to cut the bullshit and end the story, there is not much to do and even Metronome is superior to this.
Volume 12 plot line: -Megumi quits being main heroine!? The circle is in crisis of disbanding, again - -Tomoya gets a sudden phone call from Megumi and cancels the long-awaited birthday date. He goes to a hospital. Put in an unexpected situation, Tomoya is faced with a serious decision. |

加藤恵、メインヒロイン辞退!? サークル分裂の危機、再び―― 突然の電話を受け、待ちに待った加藤恵との誕生日デートをドタキャンして倫也が向かった場所は――病院だっ た。そこで知らされた予想だにしない状況に、倫也は大きな決断を迫られ……!? It is indeed not 100% accurate but if I remember correctly the last part of the previous volume shows Tomoya getting a call from Megumi, and suddenly the preview of this volume shows that. >Exaggerating. Yeah sure, Maruto fixing most of the problems with each girls on early volumes and then pull more unnecessary drama out of nowhere (a.k.a Akane) isn't wrong. Trying to keep using all the characters to show the obvious, which is megumi being the main girl, for the sole purpose of milking the fanbase isn't wront at all... yeah right. Volume 11 is nothing but the same thing Maruto did on volumes 9 and 10, pull a bunch of situations to discard Utaha and Eriri so he can put Megumi on an even more stronger winning place, this added something new or better to improve the story? nothing at all. Considering you call it amazing I can assume you're a Megumi fan right? because volume 11 is just a bunch of vanilla scenes between Tomoya and Megumi. Actually Volume 11 is Maruto saying "ups I fucked up the previous 2 volumes so here you have! an apology so you can forget how I try to milk this". There is nothing more to do in this story, no more aspects of the characters to explore when Maruto is just re-using problems from previous volumes and just changing the details surrounding them. There you have Utaha and her doubts on volume 7-8 and then he pulled out again on the recent volumes, meanwhile where is Eriri? into the oblivion as a supporting character. On the other hand, and this is the most obvious part, Maruto never deloped Tomoya in a right way, he's acting in the exact same way as he did on all the past volumes and the best proof of that was that scene where Eriri literally asked for help but instead Tomoya was still a clueless guy and that ended on Utaha being hurt and realizing that Tomoya will never look at her in the way she wants. Having a lot of people who doesn't like what's happening in this LN right now, being filled with bad writting and cheesy drama doesn't mean they don't read it, actually most of the users who post here actually read the books, so stop assuming things just because you like this okay?.

Lemme explain this in a more simple way so you can understand what I mean. Volume 9 and 10 are a mistake but they worked on 1 thing and that's putting Utaha and Eriri on a stage where they cannot get close to Tomoya again in a romantic way, this works perfectly to push Megumi way over them. Now moving to another detail, you're confirming my words about yourself and volume 11, this last volume was good in terms of Megumi's development but aside that was still the same poorly made story trying to fix the mess of the other 2 previous volumes. There is only 1 way to fix this, hit Tomoya with a stong change that makes him aware of what's going on instead of being the same passive and pathethic MC, reaching a stage where he's competent enough to have a proper relationship with Megumi (a romantic one) and the rest of the girls (as friends/co-workers), then finally making him a successful game creator. That's it, and Maruto doesn't need to push this for 3-4 volumes, it can be done in just 2 volumes. |
