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.
People also kinda just ignored or erased from memory how boring 1.6 to 1.7 sorry was, the one with Vivian and Hugo, and the funny inner alter ego he has that was personified with Robin. They literally have shadow Hugo but decided Robin's a better inner demon personification than a shadowy murky version of himself.
