look forward to the demon princess

THE WHAT

 

[DeadintheWater]

I personally have no problem with harem, but come on, every one was forced on him, he didn't make a single decision about it on his own, there is no love, it feels like its just one sided love from girls perspective, whats the point in romance if there is none, it feels even more shallow than the other harems

Pretty much what would happen when you have someone of physical/magical power going around saving women with political power. It doesn't really matter what he wants, people are going to want to control him. There are several ways to do that, but the safest and most long term solution is to get him a wife that works for you, or is of your bloodline. Chances are the woman he just saved, with political influence, is attracted to him, so a solution presents itself. With as many interests in Cain as there are, various hands are going to poke their way into it to keep him as politically neutral as possible if they can't keep him on their side exclusively.

Obviously, that isn't really what is happening here, but it would explain why everyone just throws their hands up says "whelp, new wife."

You act as if these characters act their age!

Wait... they don't.
So my point stands, and can I not critique characters if they're teenagers? When was that a rule?

But they do act their age. They're love-struck teens, who can be a little bit selfish, a little bit immature.

Just with the decorum expected from children with a noble upbringing, and the expectations that marriages are arranged among their class of people. Arranged marriages are usually decided by the party that has a stronger standing...which officially was those girls and their parents at the time their engagements were decided. Even Tifana the elf counts as a princess in the matter of being his 3rd wife, the King emphasized as much in their negotiations. Their parents endorse it because if not for this, then what is their political and social power for? Cain's the one with real power, there's no other way to bring him under their umbrella.

Frankly, isn't it a contradiction? You claim they don't act their age, but you also imply they're selfish and immature. Well.....And sure it's not a rule. Just like you can't stop us calling out how you're wrong.

Anyway, I think only a fool would say he's really opposed to these arrangements. He's just socially awkward enough to not be able to deal with it that well yet. And on that topic....

and MC is 40+yo

Wrong manga? He's about 35 years old all told, if u include his training period. He was a teenager when he was killed in his past life, he's still a young teen now, and he does have 5 more years chalked up training in that other realm....but let's be honest, in all of his 30 odd years, it's only now that he's getting experience really dealing with women not as a child, but as a mature adult. He might as well still be 17, the age he originally died. What a surprise he's bad with women. At least he treats them well. His worries aren't over having wives he didn't choose, but how to do best by all of them, and he's concerned that he can't.

The series doesn't even need to be this logical, it's a bloody romcom. One where it seems a running joke (one of many) to make women the go-getters. Like Cain's Demon Lord buddy Seto's wife. Seems really silly to harp on it.


Anyway. This chapter is pretty interesting to me in some other ways. The King makes reference to international law, which is quite interesting in framing the interaction between countries as being pretty evolved. Cain now has a popular power base and physical symbol of his wealth and influence (the city and castle). If the King didn't know better, Cain would appear to be an obvious usurper. As it is, when he abdicates in favor of Cain, the capital does seem like it would move to Drintor. And as for Drintor, if we take the map literally, beyond the closest border appears to be mostly unaligned territory. Drintor was already previously mentioned to be on the Western frontier of the country and it jives with the fact that most of the city's business revolves around adventurers. Interestingly, it seems that these type of regions seem untamable for human habitation even after a long time. Maybe they regenerate or something.

One of castle tour that I visit one passing comment is that if the King/Queen want the castle the noble have to give it so it is a custom to not overshadow the Royal Castle. This also apply to clothes and fashion.

Silk might be still a kid but she is so sharp. I can definitely see her as main wife managing all the harem in the future.

Thanks il look at it

By being an oracle of all the Gods of the world, and hence the most divine being on the planet. By being strong enough to wipe out half the world. Maybe by just saying no? Kings were never all powerful. They couldn't just kill a noble because he refused to marry the king's daughter. If the did that, then their dynasty wouldn't have a lot of time left.

pardon my laziness in using only extreme examples, but political repercussions could be just as dire. Such as his family loosing their low ranking title. The goal of the king is to ensure Cain is beneficial to his country, hence why he offered his daughter and the likelihood of him becoming the next king.

If Cain rejected his offer, that calls into question why. Having such a powerful individual running around with unknow goals and motivations is stressful to those that governs. Sure the king doesn't want to piss off the tactical nuke in his backyard, but it is still a nuke. It needs to neutralized asap.

So if the princess honey trap failed, they would have use other methods to bring Cain under their control, make his someone else's problem, or remove him as a threat.

I do understand what you are saying, but seeing that gods are a real thing in that world, and that people really are faithful, it just seems hard to think that the king can really try much. Even the king himself is a believer in the Gods.
There is also the fact that the MC is lass a tactical nuke, and more a Death Star.
I would have actually agreed with you if the MC wasn't so OP, or if he at least wasn't basically God on Earth, but both aren't true, and I just can't see him doing anything more without any outside support (Like the evil god the MC needs to face).

Think tactical nuke fits better. While he likely could finagle a way to destroy the world, the deathstar just indiscriminately destroys whatever you point it at.

I do understand what you are saying, but seeing that gods are a real thing in that world, and that people really are faithful, it just seems hard to think that the king can really try much. Even the king himself is a believer in the Gods.

While the king is a believer in the pantheon of God's, that in no way means he has to bow down before their prophet/oracle. If the king wants to maintain his position and ability to act, he must either secure Cain's allegiance, or mitigate his influence. He could also choose to ignore him, but eventually it would undermine his authority. So he must act one way or another to resolve the time bomb that Cain represents.

I would have actually agreed with you if the MC wasn't so OP, or if he at least wasn't basically God on Earth, but both aren't true, and I just can't see him doing anything more without any outside support (Like the evil god the MC needs to face).

TBH it comes down to personality. If he chose to go down a thornier path, we could very well seen him take on an anti-hero role. But as his willpower is the consistency of fried tofu when it comes to women and authority figures that don't engage in slavery, he will continue to bend over and accept whatever is thrust at him.

They build an European styled castle but put a shitty Japanese like bath instead of a Roman one... These author have no taste.

It varied from country, but yeah, that's basically the rule sometimes. If you built a more impressive residence, it had better had always been for your king/queen. Else there's only one other reason you'd go to the expense of doing so....it's practically treason.

 

[G4ost]

It’s ok if we’re counting elf and saint he’s still got 5 more rooms to spare…

I forgot about the saint

 

[CountryMage]

Fiancee candidates need a FastPass(TM) - would save on dozens of fluff chapters. "Ooh another FMC? Sign here!"

Keep that business idea in mind in case you get isekaied, could make you the fortune all those mayonnaise selling MCs just dream about.

Agreed, why bother pointing out it is European styled if you won't stick with the theme. Truly a missed opportunity imo

 

[Anything_Random]

funny. the first girl is the fifth wife

At least she's top five

 

[TotalTroonDeath]

This is by far the worst girl, and he's gonna have to marry her for having a 5 minute conversation when they were little kids.

 

[Willie29]

At least she's top five

there are only 5 at this moment

 

[Grikath]

Ah.... The Harem is reaching critical mass.
Poor Cain's opinion will be null and void from here on...
