Kinda my thoughts as well. I once pretty much dropped it at volume 10, now I'm back again and after skim reading up to volume 10, I almost feel like dropping it again, but I'll try to read to the latest fan translated chapters. I absolutely abhor the megumin x kazuma pairing, or rather, that there's any real romance at all. This novel would do good with a loose harem, the kind where they kinda end up together but in truth nothing really changes at all, at most there'd be an erotic scene or two. This novel is a nonsense type comedy, real romance has no place in it. Unlike mere normal comedy novels that can be a little bit more serious, this is the true nonsense type where it's more of a gag novel than anything else, nothing's serious at all.

Becoming serious about relationships would ruin it. Also, changing characters' personalities in the guise of "growth" would also ruin it. Rather, any form of monogamy would ruin it as well. If there's romance, only harem would be acceptable as it's the type of romance where all of them can continue being a team and continue staying the same with no major changes.

The author made some seriously bad mistakes by giving megumin way more spotlight than she deserves. Rather, he ruined her character, she used to be cute, energetic and pretty fun, but she turned into a meek, boring and even annoying girl after she realized her feelings for kazuma. Holy crap that's some shit romance if I ever saw some, romance shouldn't change their personality, it should just somewhat alter the way they interact with eachother and perhaps give them a sweet moment or two when they're alone, but never, ever should their personalities in public change.

Nah, bad romance can ruin novels. I've dropped more novels than I can count because the romance was shit, especially chinese novels, and the usual case is because the girl changes too much or because, like in this case, the author has no idea about how to write romance and ruins the characters or changes too much of the story in his quest to do try, or he might develop the routes too far so that there's no going back and avoiding a harem yet wanting to do so, which leads to irritating situations. A monogamy story should be declared to be one pretty much from the start, at the very least any romantic interaction with females that aren't the future wife should be stopped at superficial levels, but this author failed to do so.
