Munchkinry, smart antagonists, classical literary references, works better if you know both Type-Moon and Sekirei or have read Gabriel Blessing's In Flight which is oddly readable but nowhere near as smart.
Okay, so I'm partway through this having read neither source. Curious, I looked up the Sekirei... now... what is the 'plan' supposed to achieve? I mean, suppose we're the heads of MBI. We've got 108 (bizarrely symbiotic to human) aliens in our custody. Let's have almost all of them kill each other because... what? And they go along with this because... they like fighting, I guess?
Is it still a mystery? If so, is there enough to trust that there is a good explanation?
ETA:
ooooh. Well, okay, that helps some. Still not sure on the 'why' but that removes the big 'why not'.
The original anime source is mindless fighting harem comedy from what I've read, and even attempts to rationalize the world assume the plan's originator is insane and substitute a different source of intelligent opposition. I would have trouble rationalizing that.
