I'm curious on which side some of you took at the end of realm 1 and why, personally i went with the demons no hesitation cause if we're looking it logically.
1) in terms of military power the witches are quite useless as Lucius could nearly wipe them out by himself no difficulty but i guess it's unfair to use Lucius as an example as he's equivalent to a god and is described as an absolute monster, but still the witches have not shown anything notable in terms of leadership and power, just arrogance,the demons on the other hand? A leader who is not inferior to Lucius in terms of power, powerful army, so in the long run, the demon seemed to be the best choice to me.
2) Atlas is described as very strategic and very knowledgeable in military or political affairs plus he has over 2000+ years of experience plus was the son of an ancient Spartan General? And was in the army itself as well, i felt like it'll have been dumb for him to abandon all that and listen to some girls who were new to this and didn't even know how it worked and were just making decisions emotionally also while knowing what the witches had done, but i liked how the game addresses it and they admit their wrong if you sided with the demons.
I didn’t really have much logical reasoning the way you described, but I chose the demons. The witch realm characters look incompetent, especially with how the dev portrayed them—arrogant and undeserving of that attitude without the absolute power that demons and vampire rulers have. So, if the dev wanted us to choose between the demons and witches based on their pros and cons, they failed. I don't see why the witches needed over the demons. Maybe, they have some unique magic powers and other shit that the vampire and demons don't have, but again dev didn't really show us much, how critical their powers are needed or would be useful later.
Well, if they intended for us to choose based on the MC's love for his bond mates and emotional ties versus cold, hard logic, that fell flat too, imo. I’m the type of guy who’d let the MC give up benefits for the sake of his lovers’ happiness, but the game didn’t convey that well enough. You know, I didn’t feel compelled to choose the witches for their sake because the devs’ attempt at emotional blackmail was really weak in this case.
And lastly, this might be the true reason: they're just fucking ugly. Like I didn't even choose to let MC even fuck that witch because she’s beyond ugly. The dev also didn’t allow us to become emotionally invested in her to create a conflicted moment. Even if I found her ugly, I might have still considered her if there had been more emotional investment.
