I was seriously thinking about the OG Otome…it has the draw of good-looking demons, sex scenes, but it wouldn’t draw a large audience if the MC/FL only served as an unlimited magical source to the next potential demon lord/king and died from the rape and abuse. If the NPC 7th prince (Caius) is killed right at the beginning by his brothers and the strong magic doesn’t offer any use/protection to the MC it makes the players not only feel helpless but hate the demon princes and game itself. It made more sense for it to be how it is now with the MC being able to harness her own magic and put up a fight, demanding respect from demons. Oftentimes demons respond to someone who stands-up for themselves even when he/she may not be able win. I like that Cai is encouraged to standup to his brothers because of Mia and she showed Calef and Luka that she wasn’t afraid of them and wasn’t bending to their wills.
