Hello everyone! Hope you all are enjoying the fanfic!
Sorry, this isn't a chapter, but something equally important to the story.
So, I wish to clarify some things since even in my other fics I keep getting asked these questions despite answering them many times in the comments and it can get a bit tiring for me.
1) This is an AU, meaning DC is an AU, a mix of animated series concepts, comic concepts, etc. It's its own world.
This applies as well for the Invincible world we are in.
Since I personally dislike quite a few directions the comic went in which I will explain now (hope this won't sound too much like a rant).
So, I updated my comic knowledge of Invincible and it kinda blew me away with the drama in it, (and by drama I mean drama that I find bad and don't like).
Like Amanda cheating on Robot(canon male one, since this fic is a female Robot or Roberta as we could call her) by having a lesbian relationship with some alien girl...
Look, if this was logical or something, I'd get it. I'd hate it still, since I hate cheating or ntr or any form of the word, its poison, something that shouldn't exist, but I'd get it. Character is established like that, sure.
But I don't find Monster Girl to be like that. Since cheating comes from two things:
Ungratefulness and disloyalty.
Which Amanda has not shown prior and was shown very grateful for her friends and their actions and was loyal to them willing to risk her life, and I don't think that level of gratefulness and loyalty is something seperate from romantic relationships.
So, since I find that illogical (you can find It otherwise, I simply will always see it as illogical), Amanda won't be like that.
(Though I wish to clarify again, Roberta or Amanda, none is confirmed female lead.)
Now, the Eve and Mark situation. I've seen a couple comments since writing invincible fics about people hating Eve for getting together with someone else after Mark disappeared for a few years in the comics (I think it was after fighting Thragg, correct me if I am wrong on that).
So, in this case, Eve has to some a better excuse because she thought Mark was dead, but honestly I found that out of character.
Future Eve which we saw had not gotten with anyone even decades after Mark was dead, she was still in love with him.
Eve and Mark are both very long lived beings, sure they experience time like any human would but Eve and Mark have died/nearly died for each other many times and always come back.
Dimensional travel such as Angstrom Levy thing is also a thing so his disappearance could've been because of something else and never necessarily his death and Eve is smart enough to take all this into mind.
I just found that whole thing illogical so when Eve and Mark get together here (since I find them a good couple) that whole plot point is not something that needs to be worried about for the few who were worrying about it.
Now, onto the question.
I've been getting asked many times if this fic is harem or not.
I have currently no intention of making this fic a harem for Goku (And I specify Goku. Lelouch was an Emperor. I have yet to decide if he will never do it since it reminds him of his father with his 100s of wives or go with it for practicality.)
But the important thing is the Goku one.
Personally, I find currently harem unneeded since I have a lot of slice of life plot points to work with, and the romance bit can still be women fighting over Goku and the family bonding has near infinite story writing potential, especially since I introduced other worlds and with how vast DC in itself is.
But I still wish to question, do you guys want harem or not? And please say why.
I work with logic here. I can't be convinced by readers disliking it or liking it. I need to know logically why some readers find it will ruin the story or make it better.
Goku himself as Zamasu is not someone who even currently thinks much of romance, so for harem to even work it will be after a while and girls actually making him fall in love with them.
Also, a quick question, since I heard something I found weird recently,
A harem is like a man with multiple women right? Since I heard in a comment that 2 women don't count as a harem.
It counts right? Or was I wrong till now?
So yeah, sorry for this long talk, hope it clarified things and I hope to hear from you all soon the answer to my question and I hope to see you all later,
Bye!
