What are you talking about? Kazuma was always a scumbag who'd look at and attempt to score with other girls no matter if he's in a relationship or not. Also, some morons hate harems for some reason, either because of their boring family/culture or because they've seen one too many trash harem stories. Still, harem is a splendid form of romance in any fantasy novel, It's another form of romance fit for certain circumstances. Certain stories should be monogamy, other ones need to have polgyamy. If the story is about one girl with several females around him and we want them to stay in the same harmonious, friendly relationship and, for example, keep on adventuring and having fun, a harem is the way to go, it's a wonderful form of romance where we don't have to let go of any girls and they can stay the same all the way through the story, no one is left out, everyone is harmonious and everyone likes eachother as they work out their differerences, arifureta, for example, is harem done right.

On the other hand, monogamy is for stories where there aren't that many heroines, for non-fantasy settings or when the mc only has one or two girls around him at the start which show him affection. Or it's just for when the author decided to go the monogamy route from the start and thus avoids mulitple routes at the same time bullshit like what this author did. Other relationships needs to be kept rather shallow and the romance with other potential heroines need to end without being developed much. For konosuba, it's too late. I actually dislike megumin because of her taking the spotlight too much, she was also way more attractive at the start due to her personality, but all of that changed as she became more meek and less volatile, in other words, more boring. I liked her the most at first, but the author did a splendid job of butchering every single part that was good about her. Truly sad.

I'll just hope things will turn around soon, but I'm already feeling like dropping this novel. Megumin is becoming too much of an eyesore, she's hindering the story from being what it was supposed to be, a fun gag comedy with no serious elements and girls that were just incredibly whacky.
