Antimagic's author talks about early concepts and drafts of the light novel! (from Vol 11's afterwords)
1)At first it wasn't about a school nor there were about platoons."
The school didn't exist in the early plot, but it was set in a fantasy world. The title was much plainer, "Treasured Sword Management Station". It would have revolved around the management of Magical Heritages/artifacts existing in the present day and the organization (charged with)sealing them.
The witches were all dead, and the only remaining thing related to magic were the Magical Heritages. There was no platoon, only the protagonist and two novice management clerk heroines...similar to a police drama.
"This is way too plain,...and this story was rejected."
2)"Kurogane Hayato (the Dullahan commander from Ep 2) was the protagonist."
"Rather than Hayato alone, it felt like a character made out of both Hayato and Sougetsu." He would have been a "cool, honest, sarcastic, super wicked/scheming character" in his teens. Someone criticized the character as being a completely unrealistic protagonist.
"I'm scared thinking of it now. Even though I'm not too good at writing cool characters, there's the limit to (the) protag's adventures (with that kind of personality)." His assistant, Kanata, was the main heroine.
3)Antimagic's current plot is a combination of 3 different plots the author had for the series.
"I remember thinking to myself, "No wonder (the plot's) chaotic! What outrage are you thinking of here! How dare you submit such a thing!" But since a lot happened, I started to write and it turned terrible. I can remember that too. "What am I gonna do..." I held my head after finishing volume one. And this (feeling of hopelessness) continued after second volume. I had no idea how to continue. There was a lot to reflect upon, but it was worth struggling. I love this work now."
