She's pretty and strong and Bell, a teenager, likes and admires her. That's great. What else? </p><p>If Ais were a guy, she would be getting reamed apart. She's basically Sasuke minus the angry emotional outbursts. I'm sorry but a pretty, powerful doll warranting all of this defense by the fandom confuses me. And I like Ais but it's baffling to me. She's not especially funny or engaging and everytime I read anything with her in the LN, I'm not particularly giddy with excitement. She's basically a doll (not saying that can't change in the future, though). Even her interactions with Bell reek of 80-90s teen comedy where the misfit tries to woo the popular girl at school. I'm not a fan of the Ais brigade in this fandom, at all. </p>

Seriously? Smh. If that's the case, there are a lot of anime and manga that would infuriate and irk because her behavior to me is par for the course. I don't get why people take Hestia's actions so seriously when she's literally there for the comedy and lighter tones at times. Not liking her is fine but the way this fandom acts you'd think Hestia killed a baby and ate a dog. </p>

<p>@Anon  </p><p>Because we have enough of her attitude and her behaviour towards Aiz and Bell when he is in the vincinity of a girl. The tropes Hestia and Lili do and have arent funny at all and i never liked that in any series. None of these thots have any rights to ruin Bells personal life but they do because they feel entitled to be his girlfriend when they are not. Hestia should have stop loving Bell when Liaris Fresse manifested as well as the other when they learned about this skill but they dont. They just say i wont give up when his eyes and feelings and everything that mean love is directed to Aiz because thats fuel of his Liaris Fresse skill and his ridiculuos and miracle lvl ups up to lvl 4 should hsow enough how much he fell in love with Aiz. </p>

<p>Because it's not funny at all.  What's so funny about Hestia acting like a bitch towards Ais? Dragging her away from Bell just because he asked her to dance? What's funny about Hestia hitting Bell when his arm is still badly hurt? </p><p>Why it's bad? Because it has cost alot of development for Bell and Ais. People say on how they should have Ais be developed in the main series more.  Maybe she could have a lot of that development if it wasn't for Hestia is Worstia and her bullshit. Especially Volume 8. </p>

Because Hestia is nothing but a freaking idiot when it comes to Bell. Especially his relationship with Ais.  Most of the time she is going ga ga over Bell. When she is not doing that she is arguing with Lili. Or ruining Bell and Ais moments. Like in Volume 5 and Volume 8. She would have ruined Bell and Ais' dance in Volume 6 if it wasn't for Hermes and Asfi. It's freaking tired and annoying. I mean all she is good for is updating stats and going to the God meetings. <p>When she is not around Bell. With the other gods. Like banishing Apollo, talking to Loki about Dionysus and drop kicking Hermes. Actually looking after her children. Like telling her children she would take the blame during the Xenos arc. She is great. But scenes like these are very rare. Really drag her character down for me. </p><p>So who else wants Hestia to back the f***k off from Bell Cranel and Ais Wallenstein? </p> </i></div>
<p>dido </p>

Who else thinks that Hestia is only supporting Mikoto and Welf with Takemikazuchi and Hephaestus just to "help" Bell "come around" to her?

I don't get the Ais obsession the fandom seems to have with her. There is nothing about her that's especially interesting (she's not boring but she's just so meh imo) tbh she's kind of a generic Mary Stu. The only reason people don't like Hestia is because everyone bows and worships Ais and anyone that remotely stops the Queen from getting her shine is attacked or slandered. Hestia isn't even the most annoying member of the harem imo. Not sure why the fandom acts like she's so terrible and for Ais of all people at that.</i></div>
I feel another reason why people like Aiz is because as you read Sword Oratoria, or Danmachi you slowly see Aiz show more and more emotion over time as she starts to develop feelings for Bell. Also as the story goes on find out more and more about her backstory and it makes it very believable why she is emotionally barren (Unless she is with Bell or is on the topic of Bell) Also her struggle with monsters are somewhat relatable. This is why in SO vollume 10 she is emotionally broken on what to do. Just imagine you are in her shoes in volume 10 of SO your parents who you very dearly loved were taken from you at the age of 7 by the hands of a monster causing you to have a life long hatred for these monsters no matter what. (Also being orphaned didn't allow her to develop emotionally like a normal person) <p>Then 9 years later your hatred towards monster grews, and then you meet a boy who you start to grow attached to, and this person has helped you gain more emotion towards that person and want no more than to protect this person. Also you start to become noticeable very happy around that person, then 1 day you see this person help a Monster and protect a monster saying it wrong to kill it since it has feelings. And this leads into a very tough spot, etehr choose that Bell is right and let him go, or have to fight the person you deeply care about to kill the monster. Then with tears in your eyes you start to fight the person and are forced to cut and injure him very badly, even though you only wanted to protect him. Then after the fight and you let them go, you break down emotionally over what you have done to people you care about and going against her code for killing monsters. </p><p>This is why I love her as a Character, Also bros I cant wait to see what happens after Aiz tells Bell what happened at the end of SO volume 12  </p>

It's astonishing how people crap on Hestia on this site yet Freya gets a free ride.
