I have no problem with Emery losing but it shouldn't be because of his stupidity. My guess is he won't be able to go back to Morgana which will make her angry and turn against him and if that happens, she'll be the only Novel Villian I'll support ever because her becoming a villain will be 100% Emery's fault
I just want to add my own grain if salt: I completely understand why you dont want to kill Maeve. You were building her up for a lot of chapter. But I (only my opinion) dont like it that he loses because he is not consequent enough. That is not comoarable to the Mage competition and he knew it is eVen more important... You can do that once or twice but not forever. This is really unsatisfactary for me because I want an ending and not a long ping pong game. But that is only may own opinion and in the end it is YOUR story (which is great btw). So wrIte how you like it and show people like me the middle finger (middle finger = like this comment đ)
