>>281087205>pseudo-harems where the chosen girl is exaggeratedly obvious from the beginning of the storyI'd like to see a story where the final girl was a real surprise. Knight of Sidonia seemed like this to me, but it turned out to be the same trope with extra steps:
First chapter, the first girl MC meets will be the heroine, oh, it's so obvious.
Wait, they killed her, so there might be a surprise!
Oh, they cloned her, and the clone only responds to him, classic.
Wait, she died again! Okay, maybe the MC will finally find another girl.
Oh, some aliens cloned another version, and she becomes his arch-rival.
Oh, she died again. Time to find a new girl.
Another clone of first girl gave birth to a monstrous Bio Mecha-titan and she behaves like his daughter.
Well, that's new. Now maybe he can let go of the past and raise the monster girl like a good father.
The titan, only months old and with the consciousness of a little girl, falls in love with him and is killed.
Sad, time to turn the page.
A clone of the titan in the form of the girl from the first chapter is created, and her memory files are transferred to her. They get married and have children.
And believe me, there were many options in the story, but it seemed like the author and the protagonist were obsessed for the first girl. And the worst thing was that her personality was fucking boring, to the point that an asexual, a lesbian in disguise, a harem of clone sisters with accelerated growth, an android, and a 500-year-old woman were more interesting than her, at least when she was a monstrous mecha the concept was interesting, but even at the end they take that away from her.
By the way, the MC only spent a couple of minutes with the original girl, and it was enough for him to become obsessed with her clones, daughters, and biological human-alien hybrid granddaughters!
