Well the series doesn't actually end where the anime does. The anime ends at about book 3(?). The novels are are currently at book 10 and ongoing (and this "issue" is already long resolved). There's a lot of great stuff that comes after the anime, some of the best stuff actually. I imagine the manga will continue following the novels.watching the anime was a huge mistake, since I now know how this ends and even though the manga carries a ton of extra detail in it, doesn't make the outcome any better in my eyes, it's still a horrible development that I can't see as the ''happy ending'' they try to portray it as.
Oh well, let the agony continue, I've spent too long reading this to drop it now
Only thing that comes to mind is that if Anis wins A) saves her sweetheart, and B) demonstrates that having no magic is not an obstacle to overcome a genius, and her magitools are a good way to close the gap, so it will be fine for a kingdom to have a ruler w/o magicMeh. Anis will obviously win, I hope it isn't as straightforward as all that.
The author is painting her personality and skills as both the path to the future but also what is in the way of the future.
If she just wins, purely based on skill instead of the true magic she always wanted to use, I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean.
Like, her focus on the persuit of natural magic and the development of tool to compensate is what isolated her and basically drove her brother insane, made her want to take the throne as responsability and penance, and what made Euphilia want to sacrifice herself.
But now that very same skillset is being used to prevent Euphy from doing what she wants, without a backup plan.
If she were to win based on natural magic she would suddenly defeat a magical genius, and would come off as just MC privilege, but now she is going to what, use what is currently a dead end (which everyone universaly agrees on) to prove she is right without having a way to follow through without the suffering (taking the throne) that lead us to this exact situation in the first place?
I don't get it, I feel like this is just going in circles.
You do realise that the story doesnt end were the anime ends right?…watching the anime was a huge mistake, since I now know how this ends and even though the manga carries a ton of extra detail in it, doesn't make the outcome any better in my eyes, it's still a horrible development that I can't see as the ''happy ending'' they try to portray it as.

Anis is definitely gonna lose my dude. There's no point to any of this if Euphy doesn't complete the contract.Meh. Anis will obviously win, I hope it isn't as straightforward as all that.

I'm pretty sure that's not the take away here. if that were even true she never would have defied and killed her father to begin with.Wouldn't Euphy going through with it and becoming a spirit nullify the romance in it, when considering what she just said ?..
Her merging with the spirit would mean she partially stops being Euphy and become something else that just follows one set command in a sense just looking like euphy 😐
So the Euphy Anis currently loves would stop existing
