Why didn't she win?
Why didn't she win?

chestlet could never match-up to the Chizburger.
James Richardson
But she did win!
Why would anyone care about that shitty fanfic where Chiho, the worst girl, wins.
Carson Wood
It was too predictable.
Andrew Thomas
Because she's already my wife.
Ryan Myers
I'm so fucking tired of authors thinking they're being clever when they subvert the audience's expectations.
Yes it can be very effective when done well, but it's only done well like 5% of the time when there's an actual purpose to subverting expectations beyond just surprising the audience. The other 95% of the time it's just shit writing plain and simple.
Caleb Brown
delusional
Isaiah Reyes
Pretty sure she was meant to win when the LN started. By the time it ended, the isekai mentality had seeped in.
That series was from before the isekai craze, and the shift in writing to accomodate the current trends shows.
Jackson Martin
If you watched the anime, she clearly stated that him and Maou are not a thing and Chiho did not have to worry.
Justin Cox
How would "isekai mentality" change who won?
Hudson Campbell
>anime
Irrelevant
Ayden Bell
>anime
lol. The two of them spent a good chunk of the story raising a magic baby together.
Jason Evans
She left him, and now he walks this wilderness alone
Xavier Watson
The author is either a hack or an opprotunist. There's no way the story was leading to that ending even if Emi wasn't a consideration.
>Subverting Expectations
Which is really a euphemism for a surprise; a neutral happening that's still beholden to writing foundations. Hack writing to justify "main" girls winning are not new to this genre and are acceptable on the basis of a story maintaining its plot integrity. This story never gave the winner the relevance of a main girl. She was a supporting character that the plot moved heaven and earth to accommodate.
Owen Watson
>big tittied cute teen girl
>flat chested angry 5head
Hmm I wonder how she lost?
Caleb Bell
>Why didn't she win?
I don't know. I really like Chiho but her winning the way she did felt unsatisfying and hollow. It wasn't built up or earned at all.
Hudson Ortiz
How?
Chiho and Maou had zero chemistry.
Only a hack would ship them together.
Charles Cox
But the odd thing is that it seemed like Emi was the author's favorite and the one the story seemed to be going for the entire time. So if he wanted Chiho to win he didn't do a good job at building up to it at all. And if he wanted Emi to win then what happened?
The entire thing is nonsensical, Haganai tier off the deep end writing in my opinion. I wanted Chiho to win but not like this.
Cooper Sullivan
How pathetic is it to have a character you desperately want to win but don't have the wherewithal to properly write it in your own work?
Eli Fisher
The author realized the only reason his shitty LN gained some popularity was thanks to the anime and that Chihofag director.
So this was a way to say thank you
Owen Evans
I think he set his story up and rode with it. I've heard that Emi's popularity was notable, so that may have been a factor. He could have steered his story back to his preferences when it didn't matter anymore.
Oliver Roberts
No one watched this show just for Chiho. It's telling that even with a biased director the work is still "even" as far as the girls are concerned.
Leo Lee
During the anime the author tweeted that Emi was the cutest in a particular episode adding that it was that for every episode. He seemed to prefer Emilia.
I wonder if he didn't have her win so he could consider her pure for himself or some such.
Cameron King
Because the author is a fucking hack and pulled an asspull.
Caleb Brown
She didn't? But I thought both won.
Kayden Flores
If he honestly preferred Emi and went with that ending, he's actually insane.
Carter Cruz
That was just a spoiler miscommunication. The shortstack won outright to the surprise of the entire fandom.
Austin Rivera
I am so happy I never got in to this.
Jackson Allen
You made the right call, even though Chiho won it still felt like a loss. What a cruel trick to play.
Logan Wilson
That really sucks.
William Sanders
>reminding me that this will never happen
Why you do this? Now I'm upset all over again as if the bomb had dropped just yesterday.
>Maou quit being a king to his people and turned into a human who'll die like a lowly mortal
>Emi is still a powerful half angel who will out live him
All of my rage.
Parker Anderson
Quints of truth.
