Not that being a servant is any better. The concept of servant which mean slave is why I don't bother watching any fate series or even reading the manga.

I really hate this part of the story. Being a familiar is the same as being someone slave and it's doesn't sit right with me. It's annoying that all the MC in this kind of story always accepted it without resistance. Slavery make me uncomfortable to read further.

Welp, this is it for me I suppose. It is a great story but I just can't seem to get into it. Writing Quality, Story Development, Pacing, Character Development, and World Background are all very well done. Overall, I would give it a 4.5 - 5 star rating and recommend to anyone who enjoys the Familiar of Zero anime/novel.

The main reason I couldn't really get into this story is the lack of romance (I think). Shirou seems to lack any kind of libido whatsoever and is too hung up on Saber, to the point of ignoring all other females (in terms of romance).

Girls are literally throwing themselves at him and he just ignores all of their advances, stating he has a 'lover' back home (Saber). Of course, this is despite the fact that Louise's dreams show he and Saber weren't actually together at all. He's basically just obsessed with her to the point he has apparently become Asexual.

I don't really mind stories with no romance, but Familiar of Zero is a story that is VERY reliant on romance. Without the romance, it makes the original plotline seem pretty boring and there isn't really enough action or depth to offset it.

Well, I can't say that seeing that guy being split in half wasn't immensely satisfying. Still, the fact that Louise is starting to see Shirou as more of a brother is pretty annoying. Shirou's constant dismissal of sexual advances is also leading me to believe he must be asexual. Especially if his 'lover' is truly gone, as Louise's dream implies.

Not gonna lie, kind of disappointed in the fight scene. I figured with the full range of his Noble Phantasms available to him that Shirou would decimate that golem. Even just creating a bit of distance and using the Caldabolg Broken Phantasm again would have worked better than that. Aiming it at the golem's feet should allow him to blow the whole thing up in one shot.

I feel like Hrunting would have been a better choice there, as it would have corrected its own trajectory to hit the target. As for Caldabolg, I feel like the explosion should have been a bit more impressive. I expected the entire upper torso (at least) of the golem to be completely destroyed. I don't remember how big the golem is supposed to be, but didn't the impact of Caldabolg destroy an entire cemetary in Fate?

I might be wrong, but I thought the Broken Phantasm was supposed to explode on impact. How did it 'continue its arch' after hitting/going through the arm of the golem?

Either way, I feel like the destructive power of a Broken Phantasm was pretty nerfed in this scene. That guy should have been dead.

I really hope this story isn't going to be a 'no romance' type deal. This is Familiar of Zero, after all, whose entire plot was around 80% romance if I were to guess. It would make the whole thing rather...boring I guess. I don't mind certain stories being no romance but Familiar of Zero isn't a good choice for it.

Wouldn't it have been easier and less dramatic to just show them all that he could use magic, thus was not a commoner? I mean, I like the fight and buildup I guess but it just seems kind of forced.

This was an absolutely amazing story with great character development for louise, but one annoying part was the maid kept on assaulting shirou, got pretty frequent which ruined it, and one major mistake was shirou having a child in the ZNT verse as he wouldn't cheat on artoria, he loves her too much it goes against his very character, but overall a wonderful story. Thank you

BERSERK! GUTS GUTS GUTS!

Shirou cannot Just project Excalibur its a divine construct he can only project Avalone(perfectly) because its been inside of him. Archer COULD project Excalibur but only in his UBW and it would kill but but long enough to beat saber with it.

Ok so im now at chapter 10 and im here to point out something here its Shirou hes was to senical and edgy Archer was bot like this at all even if he wws he wasnt like that until after he became a counter guardian and you’ve already showed that Shirou hasnt reached that

A broken phantasm is a technique archer CREATED

Custodian is most commonly linked to people like janitors which means people who clean up stuff like counter guardians in which archer is so shes most likely calling him that due to his other selves counter guardian status

Not a fan of Kirche sexual assaulting the main character at all he should put up boundaries
