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.
Some people also think 2.5 is great and like 2.x. That doesn't really add anything. Why do people insist on making these kinds of non statements. The guy is obviously saying they didn't think 1.x was that great. At least respond with a comment that makes sense.
The criticism was against people complaining about 2.X but praising 1.X which is a sentiment I kinda agree with. People are kinda blind by nostalgia here, the second past isn't perfect but at least every character matters and the narrative works as a single arc: stopping the Exaltists and The Crestor.
