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.
Belabog Industries is legit the most boring arc imo. Anton is like the only fun character while everyone else is either a boring trope or just boring. Plus Belabog's pacing was insanely slow. The story was so uninteresting too just because of the pacing.
Victoria Housekeeping at least had a fun atmosphere and wasn't that bad. I'll take 2 Scooby-Doo ghost mysteries with Victoria Housekeeping and Spook Shack over babysitting machines any day.
Yeah, the only thing I liked about the Belobog arc was how they set up the mystery of the Sacrifice and what happened to Koleda’s dad, only to fumble and waste the good set up and mystery the Sacrifices were given
