The Devil Is a Part-Timer! (light novel)
| Nothing to be surprised, overseas fans are more toxic than japaneses themselves. Yes, the ending is forced, but only someone with mental problems would wish the author's death. |
| While it's obviously wrong to send death threats, I just can't fathom what the author was thinking with that ending? I somehow think this is worse than Domestic Kanojo because Domestic was always a trash series while this was fantastic for 20 volumes I seriously hope that people boycott his next series because this is simply unacceptable and doesn't make any sense |

| I wouldn't boycott his next series or whatever nor send him death threats. But after hoping for a 2nd season for 7 years, now I hope that doesn't happen. The ending disappointed me so much, I'm not even sure what to feel. Angry? Of course, 20 volumes of character development for a superficial kouhai relation to come out on top? Sad? Idk what more remorseful. The author writing such a half-assed ending full of cringy ass lines, or that the ending basically ruined the series of hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide. Like I don't fucking care which girl wins. But why? After building up Emi and Maou for 20 volumes, the author just says, "Oh fuck YEET" boobs for the win and shits up such an ending after getting diarrhea. This ending is basically the embodiment of r/thanksIhateit. If there's real a sequel to this series, I hope it doesn't, it better get FMAB treatment. |

| Bunch of salty fans huh, I didn't expect that to see from this series. They must have a lot of built up frustration ever since volume 18, it was mostly about Chiho's moments. There's one each moment for Suzuno and Emi in 19 & 20 respectively but that's about it, it had already geared up on setting Chiho to be the main heroine since 18th or maybe even in the 17th. Not that I'm a fan of her either but it is what it is, sadly. Well it sounds like there's an implied harem ending at least so I'm not gonna complain. Not that I heavily cared about the romance to begin with. @ysphyr Don't worry, there's an upcoming sequel to Mahouka and a spin-off too. So it's far from over. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-07-24/the-irregular-at-magic-high-school-novel-series-gets-2-sequels/.162190 |

Seriously? If people liked the ending then go ahead and buy his next novels. But if people in Japan and the west hate this ending, then why should they give him another chance? The ending doesn't make any sense and regresses all of Maou's character development. I'm not saying this because of who the "end girl" was, it's just that the final volume goes against everything the series stands for I'd put it under fanfiction level of writing |
|
| This is what we fear. @@ I have such high hopes for the light novel. However, this is the author decision and I am just a reader, so no fuss here. Life is always full of unexpected things. |
Have a noice day. |

This. I doubt a single one of the screenshotted tweets on that site is by a real Japanese person. Doesn't mean they don't hate the ending either though Haven't followed the series so can't comment on the ending itself. |
 |
| At least he chose one girl over the dull lazy harem or who knows who he ends up with ending. |
| Never seen the anime or read the LN, but from what I've heard it seems like most of the story was spent prepping one girl to be the one the MC ends up with just for it to be completely thrown aside for some other girl with way less build up and development. Yeah, I don't know what the author was thinking if that's true. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| maybe he just thought he prefer that girl instead emi but he could give little more development to make it just more sense in the end Xd And iam still buy it :3 |
 |
| HELL YES, Maou chose Best Girl Chiho in The Devil's a Part-Timer AKA Hataraku Maou-sama!, because the Novels ended, im super happy. Also Team Chiho FTW and Hoes mad. Oh yeah, the no life ass clowns sending death threats for a stupid shit AGAIN, can get big middle finger from me, because its author's, not your stupid fanfiction. Also I don't give a rats ass about the chemistry with Emi, Maou and Chiho get along FAR MORE better and I love how it pulled a Naruto and Hinata too. |
 |
| At this point, death threats to writers will be getting old real quick. I can understand the rage of the fans as I would rage as well if the ending is not what I anticipated for goddamn years. |
 |
| Honestly as someone who's only watched the anime, I don't mind Mao ended up with. And if that's what everyone's mad about, then I don't get it. But I guess you can never underestimate ship wars am I right? |
 |
| I watched the anime a while back but the star of it for me was Urushihara (especially because of how much I feel I am a female version of him at times), and I liked the series and mainly Urushihara enough that I have been playing around with the idea of starting the light novels... but hahahah not very sure now. Does kinda remind me of the Bleach manga. I liked the vast majority of it just not the ending and especially not and the rest of the series made up for it to me... this just so might be the case with this series so I may start it at some point, who knows. Although I'm not really in the place to start new series... Ah, look at me, I'm rambling in the forums again. Either way, author definitely doesn't deserve death threats. People are cruel. |
  |
| oh wow, She won? i like her more than the other main girl but for her to win this... yes!!! and i am not invested that much..... |

I have only watched the anime, but that girl winning at the end, damages a bit my desire to read the LNs, which I will still do, but at least knowing to expect shit now since I really enjoyed Emi way more in the anime. Again just like "Go-Tōbun no Hanayome", another series I have really wanted to read its source material after a positive experience with the anime adaptation, yet the writer of the source fucking up the romance at the end, GREAT, eager to read this kind of BS! (will still do, since I want to judge for myself) I honestly am not surprised that people would react so strongly about this, I just wish they could react like that, strongly, without any death threats. The writer doesn't need them to realize he fucked up a major part of his audience. |

| Ugh, I rarely comment on these forums but this post got me all worried, checked the subreddit to know what's going on and I can't believe the author ended this series like that. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is completely & utterly ruined. The last time I read this novel was several years ago (read until volume 14 or 15 iirc) and had been waiting for this series to reach its finale so that I can binge read it to my heart’s content. But now I don't even want to touch this novel after knowing this garbage conclusion to a light novel series that had the potential to be a masterpiece. I am one of those guys who’s a fan of the ‘destined to be together from the moment they were born’ concept in stories that involve romance. Because such stories usually have huge character development involving the characters in question. Among such stories that I’ve seen and read so far, I’d classify Maou x Emi as one of the absolute best couples. Anime only viewers who know like only 2 volumes of the story probably won’t understand the depth of this sentiment, but if you’ve read at least until volume 12 of the light novel you’ll know what I’m talking about. After focusing on all these relationship developments between Maou & Emi and putting the idea ‘they are destined to be together’ in the minds of the readers, you can’t expect the fans to not be angry with this shitty ending. It didn’t bother me much when the girls I rooted for didn’t end up winning in manga like Bokuben or Gotoubun coz those were a harem and I knew that all the girls at least had some chance. But this is completely different. It’s like pairing Shirogane with Chika after all that happened with Kaguya or Kyouko with Shoutarou after 20 years of relationship development with Ren (Skip Beat analogy). Well if that happened, Skip Beat fans would probably nuke Japan a third time, jk. All that said, sending death threats and hateful comments against the author is just plain wrong and a braindead way of trying to make a point. If anything, I hope some of the sane fans would let the author know how painful of an ending this is to a series they’ve followed for close to a decade, through some much more mature comments… Sorry for the long rant. Welp, it’s been a long time since I made a comment this long. Just earlier when I found this reddit post, it hit me so hard that I was in disbelief so I had to write something about how I feel about this whole situation. Here’s hoping for all the other series that everyone’s following to not get this kinda treatment from the authors. |

| Death threats r too much but it really is disappointing. Why give screentime on the main girl if he'll end with the other one. It's like our feelings has been played (thats my reason for being disappointed ). This my opinion only and readers have the right to critic (not death threats tho). If only the other girl had a lot of screen time too then whoever ends up with maou is fine (even if it's not my ship. Just like gotoubun, my ship didnt win but im fine with it bcz of how other girls got a development and screentime). That's why my point is, the end result made me disappointed bcz of how the process were made. There are some fans who say 1. "they're so toxic just bcz their ship didn't sail", as what ive answered it's bcz that ship had much development in the story that made most of the readers confuse esp our hearts (lol) 2. "Don't question the author's decision", readers have the right to critic but death threats is a no. 3. "Move on", yep that's right but the years of supporting novel was still in our memories. It would be hard 4. "They're just fictional characs, no need to take it by heart" we read to entertain ourselves, to learn something new, to explore with our minds, and to feel like we're in that story's world. Fictional characs can be an influencer/role model. 6. JUST PLEASE DONT THREAT PEOPLE Well i might as well move on tho |

| Why it's showing publishing? |
 |
| Chiho wins? Fuck yes a big win for me I love her she was the best character in the show easily and Maou x Chiho was my OTP from the start. I never read much past the anime only to where the baby showed up in volume 4. SO FREAKING HAPPY I'M GLAD I SPOILED MYSELF LOL |

"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Oooof what a train wreck. He doesn't deserve Death threats, while the Ending sucks and makes no sense (for me) People really shouldn't go out of their way like that. I am very curious how that Ending came to be. I've always gotten Maou x Emi - even from the Anime soooooo, that's, from their storyline and them being the Main Characters and all... Glad I never continued reading the LN tho. I'm curious whether the Manga will also head into that Direction and if it is worth to read it. |
"You think your power has limits, I say it's limitless." |
| Okay this is the first time I'm hearing this and yes sending death threats over fucking Japanese cartoons is totally unacceptable behavior. BUT GODDAMN THAT WAS A HOT GARBAGE ENDING LMFAO. I never really bothered checking out spoilers for this LN because I once saw the cover art for the final volume on Twitter and just immediately assumed Maou was ending up with Emi but now that I know the actual ending..... I don't want a second season anymore. All that tension, chemistry and developments down the drain lol. I genuinely wanna know what was going on the author's head at the time he was writing the ending. |
 |
| Maou regretting what he did in Ente Isla and Emi forgiving him due to her feelings for him and everyone going about their daily life would have been a better ending than really specifying Chiho as the winner. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| Did he become a human or what? |
| see,this is why Oregairu ending is really loved because the writer is smart enough to not go against majority of the readers going against majority of the people supporting you is really a dumb move now this make me wonder with how godzilla vs king kong fight going to end |
