The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me Chapter 208 Discussion

Oh man, the intensity, the solitude, the depression, the burden, the suffering, the intrigue. As an active reader of the harem genre, I must say that this is one of the best WNs I've ever read.

The concept is really interesting, although I despise the game settings in a LN/WN, it's well executed here, and the way that the author does the flashbacks is really amazing, the story sometimes goes in a slow pace, but out of nowhere, the story goes as fast as the author wants, I'm not complaining, since I like the SoL elements and the interaction between the MC and the girls. Also, some plotwists are really impressive, the author takes care of every single detail to give the reader a satisfying surprise, I think that the best part from this novel.

I have gotten so into reading that seeing Frey suffer because of the game system and the imprudence of some girls from the main harem, has made me scream with frustration and almost make me cry, such a noble and martyred character doesn't deserve to suffer like this, and I agreed with Frey, Dark Tale Fantasy 2 is such a shitty game.

I have to say, I love proactive, overprotective and well written MCs in a harem, just like Otaru Mamiya from Saber Marionette or Aijo Rentaro from 100 Kanojo, and Frey has fulfilled all my expectations. He's so kind with all the girls, no exceptions, Even if they treat him like tr*sh and the biggest scum ever, he will always treat them with affection and kindness, and protect them in the shadows, even if he has to pretend to be evil, he does everything possible to make them happy, even if he needs to carry that burden and suffer for all eternity.

There's 2 type of girls in this story: the main heroines and the sub heroines. The main heroines have every right to be angry with Frey, and I understand why they act that way (except for Serena, who is the only one who really loves him and is devoted to him from the beginning), but after thier redemption arc, is where they show how cute and kind they can be. The author plays his cards very well here, since it's not known in what point of the story the feeling of guilt becomes to something affective until it reaches the romantic, as long my boi is happy with Kania, Irina, Clana, Ferloche and Serena, I'm also happy too.

I didn't understand the introduction of the sub-heroines, but after the horrible way they treated Frey (especially Roswyn), and that "event", I agreed that Frey should distance himself from them, but the Frey's nobility goes first than his mission to finish that game. They're cute in their own way, and they have their redemption arc so it's okay.

The main villains reminded me of the villains of Mushoku Tensei, Anti-Magic and Arifureta, they're so well written with an annoying and quirky personality that they'll make you angry every time they had an interaction with the main characters, If you have read those LN, you'll know what I mean. *Wink* *wink*

tl:dr, if you "enjoyed" the mushoku tensei arc from volume 15 to onwards, with a more depressive, psychological and lonely atmosphere, where the MC just wants everyone to have a happy ending even if it costs him his own life, this is for you.
