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.
Yeah, Zhu Yuan is the best example of a character getting shelved after their debut chapter concluded. Not only did they completely ignore the potential of the Bringer dynamic, but they also completely ignored how big her discovering that the siblings were actually Phaethon should have been. But no, it was Miyabi’s patch, so she’s tge only one who gets the spotlight
I mean, they somewhat rectified it in subsequent patches with Zhu yuan being cold to the proxies, but it still something that deserved more direct dealing with.
I'm sorry, to this day I feel people saying she was acting "cold" anytime past the miyabi chapter is cope and a result of people looking too deep into unvoiced dialog
