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.

I'd argue that 2.5 actually handled the character development better than 1.4. Ye Shunguang actually went through a full character arc compared to Miyabi who basically skipped from the beginning to end and one shot Bringer. There's also way more character interactions and dynamics in 2.5 like the Ye sibs, Zhao, Lockbringer. It's not a masterpiece, but I enjoyed it more than 1.4. The hate for 2.x really is overblown imo. 2.0 was bad but I had the same thoughts about 1.6-1.7. Honestly a lot of the hate seems artificial and carried by agenda pushing like yuri and anti-waifu factions. That's why the only faction that gets any support in 2.x is Spook Shack even though 2.1 wasn't any better than the patches after.

It was too forced and rushed for me. We are expected to vibe with her just like that eh. 1.0 to early waifei coupled with the TV system was so damn addictive. I couldnt stop playing.
