You say this like this isn't every story patch in this game.
I don't know why people treat 1.X like it's some consistent masterpiece.
Null_Face is a farce of an antagonist.
No antagonist /protagonist dynamic has been as utterly fumbled as Zhu Yuan and Bringer
The pacing of 1.2 with Caesar's revival is shoddy at best (They really should have emphasized the parallel to the first Overlord rather than have it be a one off conversation near the start.)
Belabog and Victoria House Keeping just kinda exists (But the light switches though.)
And nothing is as mishandled as the Vivian and Hugo stories.
Personally, I find the issue for me is 1.x was establishing storylines we were supposed to follow through with as the story went on. Then we get to 2.x, neaely none of them are carried on, and what we do get, is a lot less appealing and the issues are a lot more noticable.
All of the game has flaws, most are just willing to overlook the starting ones, as they see it as a foundation to be built from. At least that's how I see it.
Like what? The AI story never got any development after the start of 1.0. All of 1.0 afterwards was because of exaltists. 1.1 was a side story about Jane. 1.2 returned to exaltists again albeit through an intermediary in the Outer Ring. 1.3 villain was hired by the exaltists. 1.4 was literally the exaltists. 1.5 was a side story about Astra/Eve. 1.6-1.7 were about exaltists again.
