Galahd Alter: "Haha! Feel Despair!"The new champion was none other than my companion: the stray Servant I had taken in last night, the golden-haired child. He was at least sitting in his seat for now without making a fuss, but he was fidgeting constantly - rocking his body to and fro, and sometimes lying down as though trying to savour the feeling of the cool wood of the chair.
Voyager: "...can I lick your sword?"
Definitely the most interesting and promising Fate/ spin-off right from the gate (aside from /Zero, but this title and that title were written at times when the franchise was in very different places). The major draw of TYPE-MOON's works have been, to me, the world and what stories are told in said world so /Requiem--so far--seems to have it priorities straight, focused on the strengths of the franchise.
My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
That kid is so curious about Berserker's tail and get smacked. lol
So innocent

Btw, the protag is female right?

I'm also really feeling that Erice/Voyager dynamic. It's evocative of the intrigue present in vanilla F/sn, where identities were a big deal and there was decent build-up towards them, on top of the exploratory relationship that's parallel to the meta-narrative goal of finding out more and more about the /Requiem world and what went down. Macro mystery juxtaposed with micro mystery.

it's also a cute ship :v

Seconding pretty much everything IRUN said
It's always been the relationships between Masters and Servants that was the real draw and bedrock of the franchise for me. A lot of the spinoffs downplay the human element and treat the waifubait Servants as the main draw, which is almost certainly true but doesn't cater to my specific tastes. I'm the type of guy who thought the Fate route would have been better if Saber and Shirou's relationship was platonic, instead focusing on what it means to sacrifice yourself to an ideal.
So yeah, I guess you could say I'm a monster.
Spoiler:
Yeah, the Master/Servant relationships are also the franchise's biggest draw for me. Requiem certainly seems to be handling them well.
You mean Servant vs Servant as the main draw, because that what "lot of" that you speak off (Apoc, FSF)
The only spinoff with waifubait is FGO, maybe Extra too with waifu war of Nero and Tamamo

FGO and extra also still has lot of elements that you speak of

Btw who is Kundry?
Is she this one? http://www.monsalvat.no/kundry.htm

Agreed. To compare, F/GO has Servants in spades--someone for everyone--but the Master/Servant relations were often super shallow. The Lostbelts are a type of course correction, qith a return of other Masters that aren't just a one-dimensional blank slate, so that's points in its favor.
To tie this post back to /Requiem, /Requiem has a lot of wiggle room for personal stories and how such a society functions in the proverbial 'brave new world' (by the readers' atabdards), so it's easy to give the story one's confidence. Creativity and question-answering are on its side.

turns out "everyone gets a Servant!" is the right answer after all
Yeah, that's Kundry, she's from one of Wagner's Operas (Nasu and co. seems to like them pretty much given the amount of characters here from his operas and LB2)
Also, to answer your previous question, yeah, Erice, the protag, is a girl
I agree with the general sentiment that the Master and Servants relationships seems to be flesh out well and the plot balance the mystery at hand with slowly revealing the worldbuilding (how it came to be)
Personally, I think it helps Meteor that even if this is his first solo Fate series, he already has experience writing Fate contrary to the other writers whose spin-offs where they first introduction writing for the franchise
"Everyone gets a Servant!" is a better premise than "Someone gets every Servant!," film at 11.

Dunno, I prefer having everyone of them than letting everyone has them

It's just me though

It does seem to do a good job of threading the needle by throwing in a lot of cool, new Servants who get name dropped right away while also emphasizing those Master-Servant relations and keeping our lead Servant's identity a secret. A little bit of something for everyone.
Spoiler:
ok thanks. It's the first time I heard the name, it looks like she's a bit crazy here
Has Meteo been one of TM writers for a long time? Or mostly just helping out?

aaand in the site that I got, Kundry was described as creature and not human?

Meteo wrote and published an entire LN series that no one read during his time at TM
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
I could see a side-story or prequel being done with Louis XVII.
Or it being a prompt in someone's pool for a given BL fanfiction contest.
Ideally--if it's decided that it gets expanded on--I'd want to see Meteor do it. He brought it up in the first place, I assume he has some idea of what went down.

That's his lot in life.
Meteor: Author of Neat Shit that Nobody Reads.

Requiem was the first time I heard the name Kundry too so don't worry about it, I just look her up sometime ago after we first heard of her
Wagner made up the character for his opera, that site analyse the several stock characters "Grail Maidens" that may have inspired the character of Kundry
In the opera, she is cursed by Jesus in the same manner like the Wandering Jew and the Flying Dutchman, to live for eternity (Meteo changed it so she reincarnates with her full memories from her previous lives) until she's set free (aka dies) at the end of the opera
I think Meteo started writing some scenes for HA, if I remember right, and has stayed working on TM ever since. And of course, he made the Fire Girl novels that You mentioned
anndd which one is that?

Funny how it works. Meteor writes heavily influential VN(s) that inspire other dudes, Nasu included, Nasu goes on to have commercial success, Meteor eventually gets brought on to T-M. It's almost poetic.
