came to peer review you too jay
oh okay so im not insane that some characters are. sorta sidelined atm?
also "thats what fanfic is for" NEVER BEEN TRUER
you, because im thinking about it: why do you think colopale hasn't really talked about toya and kohane's relationship at all? from my eyes, they've had very little interaction outside of group events (and really even 1-on-1 in them; the ones off the top of my head they actually talked to one another instead of in the group are an1, val3, and their vbs archive). do you think there's a reason behind this, or am i just missing their growing relationship?
I'll be honest with you: probably just bad writing + event format holding them back. I'm not exactly looking to be negative on this account but Sega have kind of written themselves into a corner with Kohane and she's not been getting that much development in general (compared to the others), and Touya has been pretty abandoned as well.
The First Concerto has redeemed Touya to some degree, so one can only hope either An5 or Kohane's next event will tackle Kohane's lack of deep connection between her and Touya, among other things.
#zero thoughts#i dont mean to make your acc negative you're just genuinely one of the best introspective writers i know#i think jay's earlier [read: a while ago] comment of “yeah vbs is a shounen anime” makes a ton of sense for why OYF was the way it way#but also. its still her focus. the other 4 arc enders had actual character development for their focuses.#you cant just SIDELINE HER over your plot#genuinely i feel that akito (until toya4) was the only one still making personality changes after vivid old tale#because toya was fricking sidelined after woao#maybe koha got character development in koha3 i honestly didnt read it (for no reason i should)#but am i crazy in saying#an is very flat#like in first and second rotations it was “kohane this kohane that”#and after kiuan an is just “nagi this nagi that”#she feels VERY flat and thats the WRITERS#a friend and i love vbs but we have beef with an's writing#i feel like if you're gonna introduce a whole new facet of a character#you've gotta keep up the previous facets not just leave them to the wayside#thats why im excited for an5 bc it SOUNDS LIKE we're gonna get back to the 1+2 arc that they. just iGNORED AFTER KIUAN#at some point an's jealousy because less about kohane and more about nagi#an to me didnt grow#she didnt get extra coins she just flipped to the other side of the coin and the writers called it a day#i know pjsk isn't suPPOSED to be an amazing story#especially compared to something like genshin and hsr#but gosh darn it just bc you dont have as many fans in l/n mmj (and maybe even vbs at this point compared to wxs and 25ji)#doesnt mean you can just. sideline the writing#also obligatory mention of GIVE TOYA MORE FRIENDS#tl;dr bc my brain finally got to something:#although vbs is episodic you#for the love of god#cannot be this slow/bad with development#the only reason we're still invested in 25ji (which is arguably taking just as long as vbs with this crap) is because
