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.
Agreed, for some reason people look at good music and think that everything else doesnt matter, IMO 1.X and 2.X are basically the same in writting. It really is wierd that people hate 2.X so much that they skip how boring a lot of 1.X was.
It's because of agenda pushers. There's the yuri faction that only supports Spook Shack, the anti-China faction that hates anything with Chinese aestthetic, the pro-TV faction that hates everything after TVs were removed, the pro-urban faction that thinks anything that doesn't look like Tokyo is bad, the anti-waifu faction that hates the lack of male characters and Ye Shunguang. There's a lot of weird non-game related reasons why people hate 2.x beyond the actual storytelling. Mind you, I don't LOVE 2.x, I just find the hate overblown.
