@BrylleAndrewJualo Thank you for your kind words, Brylle, I'm so glad that you enjoy my work.
I originally started it to make Shido more like a chad, who can stand up for himself , given how unfairly he's been treated in the original series. You see, he was always scolded and pushed around for whatever happened to him.
I didn't want to do this crossover stuff at first, given how weird things might turn out, but then I thought: what if Shido met some other beautiful girls but refused to date them?
Sure, I could have used the human girls in the series, but I didn't have much passion for them. But I did enjoy some rom-com anime, so I decided to include characters from "Quintessential Quintuplets" "Oregairu" "Boring Girlfriend" etc. Those girls were fantastic heroines too, but Shido wouldn't accept any of them. Why? It'd show that he only got eyes for Spirits, or more precisely, he's a "Spirit-con".
Surely, many people hate him because he can't pick just one girl, saying that he's a playboy who's messing with their feelings. But that couldn't be further from the truth. He's a very serious guy who genuinely wants those girls to be happy. To prove that, I want to write things like other girls trying to get his attention, only to fail because they aren't Spirits. He had saved those Spirits and wanted to be responsible for them, meaning he wouldn't accept unnecessary relationships just because they asked. This also proves that he's a man of principle.
I dislike "Male Reader in Date a Live" with a passion, it's just stupid to replace Shido and repeat the storyline in a "better way". Come on, you can't have all of Shido's success without any of his problems.
