Well, it was stated by Arsa that Ren is a lesbian, so this seems a way to point out that she won't be in the MC's harem. Also, she went after Clara... I can't see the MC forgiving Ren for this. I certainly won't.
Well, the ultimate defeat for Ren would be to enter in a bond with the MC, and since the MC is a true rulebraker, he could force the bond himself.
Weeell, Ren intended to keep MC as a lover while she would have faked being Clara so i guess its not the no way kind of being a lesbian
I agree that her plan likely would have failed because she would not have fooled the MC. The fact that Ren appears to respect Claire and how much the dark ones try to please Nael were the most surprising parts of this update. It was always highly likely that Clara would pick up the sword because that storyline is just too good not to write. What surprised me though is the fact that Ren didn't want Clara just out of her spite for Claire. Noel said that Ren doesn't really like humans and one would think that Claire getting the best of Ren would be the inspiration for her pursuit of Clara. Also, if the dark ones are just acting to please Nael, one can't help but wonder how much of this is Nael's fault for not being more involved with the dark ones other than just her beloved Noel. Would Ren be doing any of this if Nael spent even a bit of time with the primordiales so Ren would know she has no interest in subjugating the human race?
That is possible. Ren seemed open to being intimate with the MC though when she was explaining her plan at the very end of the update. She hoped to fool the MC into believing she is actually Clara. I find it hard to believe that she could do that without being willing to get intimate with him at some point. Plus, Arsa isn't exactly a pillar of morality so who even knows if you can trust what she says. Maybe she just wants to keep the MC's attention on her. This is a harem game after all and there are a few rules for harem games. Rule one is that you never ever kill a LI because that is pretty much universally hated. The other rule is that if there exists an attractive character, the MC will make her a LI. It is just generally how these types of games work lol.
I think blaming Nael is pointless. And i still suspect everything happening is designed by Nael to a degree and whenever stuff seriously goes wrong, she just reverts time/creates a copy of a former universe.
Agreed. Nael and Gabe obviously have an outcome in mind. Not only do they have an outcome in mind, when that outcome doesn't happen Nael just resets everything. So, we can assume that whatever the end goal is, it is very important. We can also assume that Christian and Bridget are essential for the outcome to happen. I have long had a theory that the reset at the begining of chapter ten was due to the MC immediately killing christian on the plane and then Nael resetting everything which resulted in the MC giving them a chance. That would indicate that whatever outcome Nael wanted, either Bridget, Christian, or both are essential for it to happen.
I think Nael and Jacky could get along simply because Jacky doesnt behave submissive towards her and is therefore maybe at least somewhat entertaining for Nael.
I suspect gab is already rescued by the time Jacky arrives or other time shenigans like Nael, Gab and Jacky all arrive at the same time. Nael already made her decision to go herself and not even Samuel could stop her, the appearance of jacky wouldnt change anything at this point anymore.
Yeah that was talked about a lot already and is imo kinda obvious. Question is if its just the first step or if them attaining these positions is the endgoal.

Oh my god, I didn't even realize there was an after credits scene... well, now I want to make Ren suffer for a very long time before her death.
The problem is that the plot did not move at all. Nothing happened in this episode except the ending.
I personally hope it isn't the end goal for the MC and Noel to just be guardians of the Americas. To me, that feels like middle management and it would be a sad outcome for Noel to just end up as a useless cog in the machine. I have to believe the MC is destined for more than just following the marching orders of some second rate hack who thinks he is more powerful than he actually is.
