@wallmask3 oh for sure I can't imagine the original writers are still with KOG anymore... I wonder what they think of it. It went from three girls fighting mundane threats that slowly built up in danger to... Whatever this is now, haha. I think while the start was pretty generic it was a genuinely good foundation. I think they fell into the trap of overcomplicating things and trying to weave in connections that didn't have to exist. In fact, silver land and alcubra are technically major retcons too. Silver land is really awkward for inserting itself between berm and ellia, and alcubra used to be after silver land so that made it seem like they just gave up the quest for a bit, lol

And don't worry my level of unhinged story thinking extends to very few things besides gc 😆 I've had too much time to let it marinate in my head. If you ever wanna hit me with some of your story details feel free to do do unprompted :3
