Innocent Devil’s Harem Ch. 174

NOTE: Okay, so comparing the two different polls (Top 1-5 and then Top 6-10) there is a very clear collective ordering of the characters. Of course, you personally might not agree with this exact order, and a character who is low on the list might even be your number 1, but this is generally how you guys feel about the characters as a group.
But first, let me explain how I came up with this ordering.
For the raw ‘Top 5’ characters poll, the clear ‘collective’ order is: 1) Serenity, 2) Natalie, 3) Avery, 4) Gwen, 5) Gabriella, followed closely by 6) Miriam and 7) Kelsey.
(Note that it’s possible no one actually ranks them in this order, only that these are the characters most frequently in the Top 5.)
However, the list I am making is based on ‘character importance,’ and so this is where ranking characters 6-10 comes into play. For instance, Gwen is #4 on the Top 5 list, but if you consider how many of you guys consider her in their 6-10 rankings (aka, Top 10, but not Top 5), then Gwen moves up to #2 as ‘most important,' moving Natalie down a bit.
Part of the reason why this happens is because, while a lot of people rank Natalie as being in their Top 5, very few others rank her in their personal Top 10 (meaning, she’s a character you either love a lot, or don’t care much about). This also happens with Miriam, who is a bit lower than Gabriella for Top 5, but who is A LOT higher in the Rank 6-10 list, which bumps Miriam up above Gabriella as generally being a bit more important. Technically, it happens to Rosa too, who probably should be moved up a little, but I feel like Gabriella and Kelsey have too strong a lead in the Top 5 to bump down (meaning, Rosa is a very solid ‘Rank 6-10’ character). In a way, I’d say that Kelsey and Rosa are pretty close to being tied for importance. (Yay for quiet shy Rosa!)
So anyway, this is the list I’ve come up with, and it’s basically broken down into the Top 7 who are most commonly in everyone’s Top 5 of their overall Top 10, followed by the next 7 characters who are also pretty important and most common in everyone’s Ranking from 6-10. After that, the last 5 characters sort of drop off a very obvious cliff, in terms of importance, which basically just means it is rare for them to be in anyone’s Top 10.
One could say that the distinction between how you guys 'collectively' classify the characters is similar to Kai's classification of Wife, Concubine, and Girlfriend.
1. Serenity
2. Gwen
3. Natalie
4. Avery
5. Miriam
6. Gabriella
7. Kelsey
-----------------
8. Rosa
9. Michelle
10. Elizabeth
11. Rachel
12. Claire
13. Rebecca
14. Delilah
-----------------
15. Raegan
16. Laura
17. Nicole
18. Jessica
19. Tracey
Of course, if a ran a poll for ‘Who is your number 1?’ probably most of these characters would get a vote. In particular, I have Rebecca as number 13, but I know there are some who would rank her as their number 1. This is just based on everyone’s collect preference, with almost no consideration to actual order (aside from Top 1-5 and Top 6-10).
Now, just because a character is low on a list doesn’t mean they won’t get attention, but this will help me get an idea of who I should focus on most in the upcoming plot. As I mentioned, there’s a pretty clear Top 7 and Top 14, with these three categories following pretty closely to Kai’s mental classification of 'Wife’ vs ‘Concubine’ vs ‘Girlfriend.’
Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Ok I'm surprised with Nicole's ranking is so low down given her connection to Eve, and her latest power reveal I would rank her now rank her higher.
Allen Ferriola
Just remember for all those arguing who's strong, Rachael is literally an angel of judgement who almost cleared out the city lol, she's unfathomably strong we just don't know how strong, yet! But that was a great chapter. But Rosa's biggest strength is her speed and if she could teach that to others than they would get that much stronger, hench the reason I've been saying these women should be training, including with magic and the possibility that they may be able to create weapons like Kai and Rachael and now even Gwen has been able to do... Everyone is just very relaxed, either working regular jobs which is beneath all of them or screwing lol, which is fun and all but when shit hits the fan no one knows what to do!
Christopher Miller
In short, Rosa and Natalie cannot be the most powerful fighters in the harem. Each has a more powerful counterpart in Liz and Eve who also has additional abilities and hundreds of years of experience. The best they could be is #4 - #9 in the mix with Gwen, Miriam, Claire, and Delilah (assuming she has artifacts to wield).
Christopher Miller
The rest of the harem is capable of being formidable in a fight. Especially if Kai is guiding them, sending them power and using magic through them. They are all stronger than mortals, regenerate and each have individual talents. Laura as an oni should be stronger, faster and more durable than the others. Serenity has martial arts and weapons training. Nicole could hide others until a critical moment in a fight, etc.
Christopher Miller
After Eve, I think the next tier includes Natalie, for all the obvious reasons. Gwen, who now has her own lightsaber claws and enough fire magic to incinerate an Archdemon by herself, if Kai had stopped her. Miriam roasted a dozen cursed werewolves in the blink of an eye. Of course, she was in the heart of her domain, but she also is a gifted magic user with thousands of years of experience. Rosa is physically powerful, but completely untrained and lacking any killer instinct that's important in a fight for survival. Claire, much like Rachel is capable of laying waste to a vast area, but has zero training and would be hard pressed to control her powers in a fight for her life.
Christopher Miller
#3- Going out on a limb here, but even if she's not an official wife yet. But I'd say Eve Beaumont. Half of the "Bloody Butchers", she hasn't even received Kai's blood yet but she's a super vampire/werewolf hybrid with hundreds of years of experience in executing supernatural threats of all levels.
Christopher Miller
#2- Liz is a royal werewolf, more powerful than the more common cursed werewolf like Natalie was. They are probably both now hellhounds. Plus she has Bethel, who is capable of incinerating a city block from miles away. Plus she is an accomplished sorceress with hundreds of years of experience. It'd be horrifying to face her
Christopher Miller
In my rankings the number one threat among Kai's women isn't even close. It's Rachel. She unconsciously was close to nuking the entire city and wiping out tens (hundreds?) of thousands in less than a minute. Now she also now has her own broken halo to use as a lightsaber in close combat. The only downside is she is completely raw and untrained, but she's more powerful than Rosa is by a factor at least of 1,000.
Christopher Miller
It seems like there is an inconsistent perception of just how powerful many of Kai's women are. Yes, Natalie is absolutely capable of shredding a mid-level supernatural threat like an incubus, or probably even an oni warrior by herself. Rosa absolutely has the raw abilities and skills that she could as well, but she's much to timid, untrained and tenderhearted to be a killer.
Christopher Miller
Natalie is definitely the one he travels with the most. Miriam, Delilah and Gwen just can't. And most of the rest have other obligations like school or a job.
Sam
Any plans for artwork anytime soon?
Keepit simple
I mostly agree with poll outcome but think importance of characters will depend on future plot path. If more struggle and "battles" occur I want Miram, Natalie, Serentiy, Gwen, and Rosa as backup. If romance, Avery, Gabrielle, Kelsey, and maybe Rachel as she was created also to be big part of his new life.
The Archer
I also agree with the list. Just curious where Eve and Bethel fall. The connection now makes more since between Kai & Reagan. Looks like another one of Kai's pervious self manipulation.
Author Kaizer Wolf
Yes, good catch. I fixed it!
Christopher Miller
Shouldn't it be "Taylor, Raegan's Mom, is a Kitsune." Not Taylor's Mom is a Kitsune?
Carl
Also like the development with raegan and her powers. Ive always felt Rebecca might be better served as a mentor for her and that rebeccas character leans more towards a dominant personality whose core aura is confidence both sexually and in general life. Doesnt mean we cant have submissive Rebecca at times during sex as well, but this new direction would fit both characters better in my opinion.
J Bone
Plus Natalie is the #1 woman Kai has. She's literally his right hand. With her and Rosa, they are a force that's hard to beat.
J Bone
I knew something was up when Kai kept thinking she was like a girl next door. Him feeling like they have already met.
Carl
Agree completely with the list in regards to where characters are roughly placed, although kai has stated he wants to wife up michelle even though shes maybe more in the concubine category so interested how many wives he'll end up with.
Moi465
The developments were fine, just natural uncovered developments. The poll results were fine though I struggle to remember who is who at the bottom of the list. Reagan's powers make things a little interesting, sort of a self defense mechanism.
Raul Salazar
(Spitballing a theory here) I believe Raegan is an Incubus’s daughter because Kitsunes are a female only race like succubus, when Taylor got pregnant a kitsunes DNA is able to change allowing for the shapeshifting ability. However when combined with an incubus it became a immovable object vs unstoppable force scenario regarding the child’s gender with the kitsune DNA being the winner but with incubus abilities being altered to mimic succubus abilities
