The Rito 10K chapter sucks; getting that out of the way, first and foremost, I'm going to be putting this on hiatus for the time being, mainly to clear my mind and try to get out of the writer's block for this chapter. If it's still there, then we might not do this chapter. I've taken the harem and gotten rid of two girls. And now for something else.

Let's bring up some complaints I've been getting. First, why hasn't Vilgax taken over the galaxy? Well, it's hard to level Deviluke's power level due to only knowing eight Devilukes, and Zastin was the butt of a lot of jokes. But, Lala in Darkness could hold her own against Yami's Darkness Form, which can destroy planets, and Lala was protecting Rito. Without any fighting training, this must mean everyone on Deviluke must be roughly around her same level. Besides Alien X, there hasn't been an alien shown in Ben 10 being that strong. Heatblast is stated to be able to create Supernovas, but that's about it. Kid Gid in To Love-Ru has the same strength as Golden Darkness True Form, having said he can destroy planets in his Child Form with just a finger. King Gid in Darkness, aka Teenage Form, is stronger than Yami, saying the base power level for all Devilukes must be around Planet Level threats. Lala states that she got her Father's Strength; it's highly possible that only Lala and Gid are Planet Level, while the rest could level Moons, and Vilgax is city level, who has lost to the likes of Diamondhead.

Ben Tennyson himself is an alright Protagonist, the main problem is that he has to learn the same lesson all the time, I blame the writers for that one and he's a dick. Someone that the To Love-Ru Girls won't like him. Take his relationship with Julie and Ester, which was just a dumpster fire. Ben makes no time for any of his girlfriends, ignoring them; he's openly rude and insensitive to Julie and Ester's feelings like the time. He steals the glory, making a scene late to anything important. Ben accidentally broke up with Julie over the phone when playing a video game. Ben doesn't pay any attention to the opposite sex, and he's just a straight-up total DBag. The only one to put up with his shit is someone who is forced to do it. I bet Kai would've broken up with him as well. The dude should've stayed single. This might be a case of Flanderization making him into a one-note jerk towards women because Omniverse simplified his character so they could make jokes easier. They simplified many characters so they could make easy jokes that weren't funny. I think this also shows for Kai Green Character, if they really wanted her as Endgame and Ben's wife, then she should've been a core member of the show and be in the same team as Ben and Rook. Make Kai and Ben frienemies, then friends, then lovers.

For the reason of the Omnitrix requiring Max's DNA. Throughout all time, then explain why the fuck does Argit have the Omnitrix. I didn't think it was needed to say so, but swap Tennyson with Yuuki, and that is fine, hell Max and Rito O.C. Grandpa can be best friends and had done everything together, meaning when the Omnitrix would've come to Earth and landed in Japan. The Omnitrix would scan for Tennyson and not find him but find Yuuki, which is just as good.

Then they say you must be an idiot to defend Rito; lucky, I am one. Rito is a typical harem protagonist doormat to everyone who hasn't read the manga. Bro had some balls on him in the manga, openly fighting and punching Ren in the face whenever he tried flirting with Haruna. He does care about his harem, fighting with Lala and yelling at her when her machines backfired. Protecting Haruna and jumping in front of an attack, and protecting Yami. The whole reason why girls like Run, Yami, Yui, and Momo like him got cut for the anime. In volume 15 of Darkness, which never got animated, he offers up his body as a vessel to protect the dying Nemesis because he wants to convince her. He knows Nemesis and says if he is wrong about her, then he says that Gid can kill him along with Nemesis. Here's a real piece of dialogue from Rito.

"If I were to just watch a girl disappearing before my eyes and simply let her die… I wouldn't be able to face my sister or my parent. I wouldn't even be able to call myself a man. That's all it is!"

He's just nervous around girls but isn't afraid to shape up and tell the person he loves that he loves them. Hell, do you know why he's nervous? Back in middle school, he was blamed for a crime he didn't even commit. The entire school blamed him, the teachers, and his friends. Rito had nothing for him, it was only Haruna who believed that Rito didn't do the crime. And that's the reason why he loves her. They cut out his entire character for the anime.

Rito is no Nariyuki Yuiga or Keima Katsuragi, but he does stand out, and I think Rito is far better than a lot of the generic Harem/Isekai protagonists out there. Hell, he's a better harem protagonist than Ben is. Rito openly admits that he does love these girls. He cares about everyone who has openly shared their romantic feelings towards him. When Ben wouldn't give a shit and ditch them the first chance he gets, Rito sort of became the gold child of Nervous Anime Characters. People copy this and improve on it. And if you're saying that he's nervous around smoking hot girls throwing themselves at him, bloody Ainz Ooal Gown is nervous about hot girls throwing themselves at him. Anyone would; the only person Rito ever talked to who was a girl was Mikan. Being nervous is a natural reaction, something that doesn't go away. Plus, Ben is a terrible Harem Protagonist, I would never understand why they made him one; he's on the same level as Kazuya Kinoshita or Makoto Ito. Jerks work, but only if they are written right. It's no wonder why people ship him with Rook; it's the only healthy relationship he has.

Then there's Alien X. The be-all and end-all to all talks to Ben 10; Ben himself never used Alien X and didn't know how to use him until Omniverse, and even after striking a deal with Alien X being able to use his full power at all times. Bro, still decided to use the likes of Ampfibian and Ball Weevil. If I use Canon Rito, he would've struck a deal with Alien X in the first scene, and every chapter would be Alien X this and Alien X that. There's no downside to Alien X's power; He was meant to be powerful but useless, and I don't think the writers knew how to handle that well.

Besides, this is just fanfiction, that is all. Also, read the To Love-Ru Manga if you haven't. It's good, 36 volumes in total, 18 volumes each. That is all; thank you for reading, and enjoy the story.

For the harem, it remains unchanged; as I said, I've only removed two girls, Oshizu and Kai Green.
