Tappei is obviously playing a long game with Emilia, which unfortunately won't be covered in the anime. |
The author said in a Q/A that he has everything to ending planned out and at the point the WN is at (arc 6) the story currently halfway. That is definitely a good sign of somebody who is control of his plot and everything in it. I think Rem's presence is being overselled a bit. It's not unusual for secondary characters get in limelight for while depending on the circumstances, and her popluarity is unlikely effect the course of the plot. At the end of day she just happened to be fleshed a little earlier then everyone else because her past has the least connection to overall narrative which makes her easier to talk about.
